Up and Running in 3 Steps

We handle everything — you just tell us about your business.

Tell Us About Your Roofing Business

Your specialisms — slate, tile, flat roofing, lead work, chimney repairs, fascia and soffits — your coverage radius, whether you handle insurance work, and how you want storm damage emergency calls prioritised.

We Build Your Roofer-Trained AI

We train the AI with roofing terminology — valleys, hips, ridges, flashing, torchon felt, EPDM, GRP fibreglass — so it captures leak locations, roof types, and damage descriptions accurately from every caller.

You Stay on the Scaffold, Not on the Phone

While you are three storeys up replacing ridge tiles in the wind, every call is handled from the ground. Storm damage emergencies escalated. Insurance repair enquiries, re-roof quotes, and gutter work requests captured with full property detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AI understand roofing terminology?

Yes. Ridge tiles, hip tiles, flashings, soakers, lead valleys, felt and batten, fascias, soffits, dry verge systems, GRP fibreglass flat roofing, EPDM, torch-on felt — the AI speaks roofer, not generic.

Can it handle storm damage emergencies?

Absolutely. Storm damage calls are handled as priority emergencies. The AI captures the type of damage, whether there's an active leak, what the customer has done to mitigate it, and escalates to your mobile.

I can't answer my phone on a roof — will the AI cope with high call volumes?

That's exactly what it's built for. Whether you get 5 calls or 50 calls during a storm, the AI handles every single one. No engaged tones, no voicemail, no lost leads.

Does it handle both domestic and commercial roofing enquiries?

Yes. We train the AI with your full service range — slate, tile, flat, pitched, domestic, commercial, industrial. It captures the right details for each type of job.

Can it identify whether a job needs scaffolding?

The AI asks relevant questions about property height, access, and the location of the work. This helps you assess scaffolding requirements before you even visit the site.

What about insurance work after storm damage?

The AI asks whether the customer has contacted their insurer and captures any claim reference numbers. This saves you time when quoting insurance-backed repairs.

Can the AI handle flat roof and felt roof repair enquiries?

Yes. Flat roof repairs have their own terminology — blistering, ponding, detailing failures, and upstand issues. The AI asks about the roof covering type (felt, EPDM, GRP, asphalt), the area affected, how long it's been leaking, and whether there's internal damage. This gives you a clear picture before climbing the ladder.

Does the AI capture enquiries for roof surveys and homebuyer reports?

Yes. Prospective buyers and solicitors request roof surveys before property purchases. The AI captures the property type, roof material, age of the property, and any concerns flagged by the surveyor. These are quick, paid survey jobs that can lead to full re-roofing contracts.

What is the benefit of an AI receptionist for my roofing business?

Roofers have arguably the worst phone-answering problem of any trade in the UK. You spend your entire working day at height — on scaffolding, on ladders, walking across tiles — where taking a phone call is physically dangerous and often impossible. Meanwhile, roofing enquiries are among the most urgent and highest-value calls in the trades. A storm-damage repair is worth £500-£2,000, a full re-roof is worth £5,000-£15,000, and a commercial flat roof project can be worth £10,000-£30,000. Research shows that UK tradespeople miss 3-5 calls per day and 85% of those callers never ring back. For a roofer losing an average of 4 calls daily at an average value of £800 per job, that's over £600,000 in potential annual revenue going to competitors who happened to be on the ground when the phone rang. A receptionist costs £25,000-£30,000 per year. Speed Receptionist costs £39 per month — £468 a year — and understands roofing terminology: ridge tiles, lead flashing, EPDM membranes, felt, battens, and verge pointing. It works 24/7, captures storm-damage emergency calls at 3am, and sends you every lead before you've climbed down from the roof.

What if my roofer business changes its prices or services?

Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've updated your flat roof pricing, added solar panel fitting, or changed your winter working hours, we'll update your AI receptionist within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any roofer business makes: adjusting prices, tweaking your service list, updating opening hours, or changing your service area. We want your AI to always give your customers accurate, up-to-date information about your roofer business.

How does Speed Receptionist handle my customers' personal data?

Speed Receptionist processes customer enquiry data solely for the purpose of capturing and delivering leads to your roofer business. Whether a customer contacts you by phone, website chat, WhatsApp, SMS, email, or social media, their data is handled under strict UK GDPR compliance. We operate as a data processor, meaning your business remains the data controller. All data is processed and stored within the United Kingdom, encrypted in transit and at rest, and retained only for as long as needed to deliver the service. Phone callers are informed their call may be recorded for service purposes, and chat visitors are notified their conversation may be stored. We never sell, share, or use your customers' personal details for marketing. You can request deletion of any data at any time, and we will action it within 30 days. Our full privacy policy details our complete data handling practices, retention periods, and your rights under UK data protection law.
