Frequently asked questions
That is the point of it. Calls divert to us when your line is busy or unanswered, so the enquiry is handled while your hands are full.
Yes. We agree the qualifying questions up front - job type, postcode, access, timescale - and receptionists ask them on every call so you can price the work without a second conversation.
Yes. Receptionists can book straight into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Calendly while the caller is on the line, following the availability rules you set.
You decide what counts as urgent. Those callers get transferred to your mobile; everything else arrives as a message so your day is not interrupted.
