Your AI Receptionist. Built for UK Tilers.

Yes. Wall tiling, floor tiling, porcelain — rectified and non-rectified — ceramic, natural stone including marble, travertine, slate, and limestone, glass mosaic, metallic mosaic, large-format porcelain slabs at 1200x600mm and above, metro tiles, subway tiles, encaustic cement tiles, terrazzo effect, herringbone pattern, chevron pattern, brick bond, stacked bond, basket weave, and geometric patterns — the AI captures the tile type, size, pattern layout, surface preparation requirements, adhesive considerations, and grout specification. It understands that different tiles require fundamentally different installation approaches — large-format porcelain needs a 12mm notched trowel with back-buttering and a perfectly level substrate, while mosaic sheets on mesh backing require a 6mm notch and a different workflow entirely.

Yes. Bathrooms waiting for tiles are the most time-sensitive tiling jobs in residential work because plastering sits on the critical path of the renovation timeline — the plumber has first-fixed, the electrician has chased and terminated, the plasterer has skimmed, and now the tiler is the only trade preventing the plumber from returning to second-fix the toilet, basin, and shower. The AI captures the room dimensions, wall and floor areas, tile type and size, shower configuration — standard tray, walk-in with glass panel, or wet room requiring tanking — any niches, window reveals, or boxing to tile, the plumber return date, and whether the customer has already purchased tiles.

Yes. Wet rooms require significantly more specification than standard bathroom tiling — tanking the floor and walls with liquid membrane or sheet membrane, forming the gradient to the linear or point drain at the correct fall — typically 1 in 80 — installing the drainage system, applying primer coats, and ensuring the waterproof membrane extends beyond the wet zone. The AI captures the room dimensions, drain position preference, tile type for the wet area, whether underfloor heating is being integrated, and any building regulations considerations. Wet room tiling commands premium pricing at £2,000 to £5,000 because the waterproofing integrity is critical — a leak in a wet room causes structural damage that dwarfs the original installation cost.

Commercial kitchen floor tiling with anti-slip ratings, restaurant wall and floor tiling, hotel bathroom tiling programmes, retail shop floor tiling, swimming pool tiling, gym and leisure centre wet area tiling, office reception and atrium feature tiling, and medical facility hygienic wall cladding — all captured with the premises type, total square metreage, tile specification including slip rating where applicable, access hours for installation, and whether the project is a one-off fit-out or recurring refurbishment programme. Commercial tiling contracts provide high-volume, high-value work at £3,000 to £30,000 per project.

Yes. Electric mat underfloor heating, electric cable systems, and water-pipe systems beneath tile floors all require specific adhesive and installation considerations. The AI captures whether underfloor heating is already installed or being installed simultaneously, the heating system type, the tile type — porcelain and stone conduct heat better than ceramic — and the floor substrate condition. It flags that flexible rapid-set adhesive is required for underfloor heating installations and that the system must be tested before tiling and commissioning delayed for the adhesive manufacturer specified period. This informed handling prevents the costly mistake of using standard adhesive on heated floors.

Yes. NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Wall and Floor Tiling, TTA (Tile Association) membership, CSCS card for commercial site access, public liability insurance, manufacturer-specific training on large-format installation systems like Mapei and BAL, and wet room tanking certification — all referenced when customers ask about credentials. The TTA membership in particular signals commitment to industry standards and ongoing professional development that differentiates you from untrained tilers whose poor preparation and incorrect adhesive selection cause tile failures within months.

Both. A sole trader tiler works with both hands occupied — holding tiles, spreading adhesive, positioning spacers, operating a wet saw — with time-critical adhesive open times meaning you cannot pause mid-application. Every missed call from a homeowner whose bathroom is prepped and waiting represents a £500 to £2,000 job, and customers at the end of their renovation timeline will not wait for voicemail — they call the next tiler because the plumber returns Friday. At £39/month, one rescued bathroom job covers the AI cost for a year. Larger tiling companies with multiple fitters use the AI for builder relationship management, commercial project capture, and interior designer coordination.

48 hours. We learn about your tiling services — bathroom tiling, kitchen splashbacks, floor tiling, wet rooms, natural stone, commercial tiling — your qualifications, coverage area, pricing approach by tile type and complexity, and how you want urgent renovation-deadline work prioritised. The AI is configured on your existing phone number. You handle zero technical setup.

Tilers work with wet adhesive and grout that demands continuous attention — once the adhesive is spread, tiles must be placed within the working time or the adhesive skins over and the tile won't bond. Stopping to answer a phone mid-fix risks the entire wall or floor. Yet tiling enquiries are valuable: bathroom retiles at £500-£1,500, kitchen splashbacks at £200-£600, floor tiling at £1,000-£3,000, and commercial tiling contracts at £5,000-£20,000+. Research shows 78% of customers hire the first tiler to respond, and 85% of callers who reach voicemail never ring back. UK tilers missing 3-5 calls daily could lose £60,000-£100,000 per year. A receptionist costs £25,000-£30,000. Speed Receptionist costs £39 per month — £468 a year — and works 24/7. Your AI captures the tiling type (wall, floor, mosaic), room size, tile material (ceramic, porcelain, natural stone), and any preparation required while you're focused on getting each tile perfectly level.

Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've updated your per-square-metre rate, added underfloor heating integration to your tiling services, or changed your Saturday availability, we'll update your AI receptionist within 24 hours at no extra charge.

We want your AI to always give your customers accurate, up-to-date information about your tiler business.
