What the phone looks like for a Reading emergency plumbing company
Reading and the wider Berkshire has a population of around 350,000, built on technology, professional services and some of the most expensive property outside London. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a emergency plumbing company working across Caversham, Earley and Tilehurst most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Your entire proposition is answering when nobody else does, and a missed 2am call is a customer who will never try you again.
Callwise answers on your own 0118 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 Reading calls go unanswered
- the middle of the night, when the calls are worth most

- bank holidays and the whole of Christmas
What Reading callers want
- burst pipes at two in the morning

Reading emergency plumbing companies ask us
Do we keep our 0118 number?
Yes. Your existing 0118 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 Reading customers reach you changes.
Do you work with emergency plumbing companies outside Reading?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Reading and everywhere across Berkshire 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.
We advertise 24 hours. Does that change the maths?
It makes it worse. Advertising 24 hour cover and then not answering at 2am is the most expensive kind of missed call, because it is exactly the promise the customer rang to test.
Can it decide what is worth waking me for?
You set the rules. Flooding wakes you, a dripping tap gets booked for Tuesday, and you see both in the morning.
Will it quote out of hours rates?
Yes, clearly and up front, which is better than a customer being surprised by the invoice.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Reading 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.
