Frequently Asked Questions
Why do builders text glazing companies?
Programme coordination is the primary reason. Windows and doors have a 4 to 8 week manufacturing lead time, and builders need to coordinate the measure, order, and installation dates with the rest of the construction programme. A builder texts to confirm the measure date, notify you that the opening is ready for installation, or adjust the programme timeline. Responding instantly to these texts maintains your position as their preferred glazing supplier — which can mean 5 to 15 window and door orders per year from a single builder relationship.
How does the AI handle programme coordination texts?
The AI recognises builder coordination messages and responds with appropriate technical awareness — confirming dates, asking about opening sizes, noting trickle vent requirements for Building Regulations, and flagging lead time considerations for special colours or non-standard sizes. The response style matches the informal but precise communication builders use for trade coordination.
Can the AI handle homeowner texts about glazing?
Yes. Homeowners who found your number from a van sticker, a neighbour recommendation, or a Google listing text with their window count and a request for a survey. The AI captures the details and creates a qualified lead. Many homeowners prefer texting to calling, particularly younger homeowners replacing windows in their first property.
Is SMS useful for after-sales warranty texts?
Yes. Previous customers texting about warranty issues — condensation, hardware adjustments, draft from seals — receive professional responses. Handling warranty queries promptly protects your reputation and generates referrals. A satisfied warranty customer is far more likely to recommend your company to neighbours than one who was ignored.
What does SMS automation cost?
£29/month with unlimited text responses. One maintained builder relationship producing regular extension glazing orders — worth £5,000 to £20,000 annually — makes the investment negligible.
What is the benefit of AI SMS for my double glazing business?
Homeowners text their glazing installer about survey appointment confirmations, access arrangements for installation day, colour and handle choice decisions, and snagging issues after fitting. Every text is a decision point that keeps the order progressing — a delayed reply to a customer finalising their frame colour holds up the factory order and risks losing the deposit to frustration. Your AI replies instantly to every text, confirming details and maintaining the professional communication that moves orders from survey to installation. At £29 per month with unlimited texts, preventing one lost order per quarter through responsive communication covers the annual cost several times over. The AI keeps your pipeline flowing while you fit windows all day.
What if my double glazing installer business changes its prices or services?
Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've adjusted your window or door unit pricing, added aluminium or flush casement options, or changed your FENSA certification scope, we'll update your ai sms within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any double glazing installer 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 double glazing installer business.
