What the phone looks like for a Manchester drainage company
Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester has a population of around 2.8 million, built on media, technology and a dense network of independent trades across ten boroughs. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a drainage company working across the Northern Quarter, Salford and Didsbury most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Sewage in a garden is not a Monday problem, and that caller is dialling the next number before your voicemail finishes.
Callwise answers on your own 0161 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.
When Manchester calls go unanswered
- while you are jetting a drain and cannot hear the phone
- nights and weekends, when blockages surface
- after heavy rain, when everyone rings together
What Manchester callers want
- a blocked drain backing up into the garden
- a toilet that will not flush anywhere in the house

Manchester drainage companies ask us
Do we keep our 0161 number?
Yes. Your existing 0161 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Manchester customers reach you changes.
Do you work with drainage companies outside Manchester?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Manchester and everywhere across Greater Manchester is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Our vans are noisy. Does that matter?
It is why the calls get missed. Nobody hears a phone next to a jetter, and every one of those calls is an emergency job at an emergency rate.
Can it handle CCTV survey enquiries?
Yes. It takes the address, the reason and the deadline, which for pre purchase surveys is usually tight and worth catching.
What happens after heavy rain?
Every caller gets answered at once rather than queueing, so you keep the work instead of losing it to whoever had a spare receptionist.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Manchester customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
