What the phone looks like for a Portsmouth electrical contractor
Portsmouth and the wider Hampshire has a population of around 550,000, built on defence, maritime and a dense terraced housing stock. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a electrical contractor working across Southsea, Fratton and Cosham most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Half the calls are landlords with a compliance deadline, and they will ring the next electrician on the list rather than wait.
Callwise answers on your own 023 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.

Portsmouth electrical contractors ask us
Do we keep our 023 number?
Yes. Your existing 023 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 Portsmouth customers reach you changes.
Do you work with electrical contractors outside Portsmouth?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Portsmouth and everywhere across Hampshire 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.
Can it handle landlord certificate enquiries?
Yes, and they are worth catching. It takes the address, the number of bedrooms and the deadline, which is everything you need to price an EICR.
What about burning smells and sparking?
Set those words as urgent. The caller gets your safety instruction and you get an immediate alert.
Will it handle EV charger enquiries?
It takes the make of car, the property type and whether there is off street parking, so you can quote without a second phone call.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Portsmouth 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.
