Up and Running in 3 Steps

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

Tell Us About Your Gutter Cleaning Business

Your services — gutter clearing, downpipe unblocking, gutter repairs, gutter guard installation, fascia cleaning — your equipment type, coverage area, and how you want urgent overflowing gutter calls handled in heavy rain.

We Build Your Gutter-Trained AI

We train the AI to capture property type, gutter run length, storey height, access constraints, and whether the customer wants a one-off clean or regular seasonal maintenance — the detail that enables accurate quoting.

You Focus on the Ladder, Not the Phone

While you are clearing debris from guttering on a two-storey extension, your hands are full and your phone is in the van. Every call is answered. Emergency overflow calls escalated. Regular maintenance sign-ups and gutter repair requests captured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is SMS the natural communication channel for annual gutter customers?

Annual gutter cleaning customers have your number saved from last year and text when they notice leaf build-up, moss growth, or the first autumn rainfall reminder. They text because it is quick, requires no phone conversation, and can be sent from work. Forty-eight percent of annual gutter rebookings come through text — if these messages sit unanswered during your working day on roofs, customers perceive unreliability and search for an alternative. The AI provides instant, friendly confirmation that retains these profitable repeat relationships year after year.

How does the AI handle schedule confirmation texts?

Customers texting to confirm access for an upcoming appointment, provide gate codes, warn about dogs in the garden, or request a specific arrival time receive instant, friendly responses from the AI. The details are forwarded to you for scheduling. This responsive pre-appointment communication reduces no-access wasted visits — one of the biggest operational costs in gutter cleaning — and builds the professional service perception that retains customers.

Can the AI handle storm-triggered customer texts?

Yes. During heavy rain, existing and new customers text simultaneously: "gutters overflowing, can you come urgently?" The AI handles unlimited concurrent texts, acknowledging each with a professional response and capturing the property details. Storm texts batched by postcode area allow you to plan efficient emergency routes — attending 6 to 10 properties per day in the same area rather than scattered individual visits.

Does SMS automation handle van-signage new customer texts?

Yes. Homeowners who see your van parked on their street while you clean a neighbour house text the number displayed. The AI responds instantly with questions about their property type, gutter condition, and preferred timing. These van-signage texts are highly profitable because they represent same-street work with zero additional travel time, and the customer has already seen your equipment and professionalism.

What does SMS automation cost?

£29/month with unlimited text responses. Retaining 3 annual repeat customers through responsive text communication — worth £180 to £450 per year — covers the cost. Storm-day text surges can generate 10 to 20 additional bookings in a single day.

What is the benefit of AI SMS for my gutter cleaning business?

Gutter cleaning texts surge during and after rain: "my gutters are overflowing, water running down the wall" or "can you clean gutters on a 3-bed semi?" These arrive while you're up a ladder. Your AI replies instantly, asking about the property size and whether there's visible water damage. At £29 per month, one captured gutter clean at £80-£200 from a text covers the cost for months.

What if my gutter cleaner 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 per-property pricing, added gutter guard installation to your services, or changed your seasonal availability, we'll update your ai sms within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any gutter cleaner 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 gutter cleaner business.

How does Speed Receptionist handle my customers' personal data?

We never sell, share, or use your customers' data for marketing purposes. Your customers are informed their details are being collected for service purposes. You can request deletion of any data at any time, and we will action it within 30 days in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.
