What the phone looks like for a Newcastle plumbing company
Newcastle and the wider Tyne and Wear has a population of around 800,000, built on digital, healthcare and a strong hospitality sector. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a plumbing company working across Jesmond, Gosforth and Ouseburn most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Water coming through a ceiling is the most urgent call in any trade, and that caller will ring six numbers in ten minutes.
Callwise answers on your own 0191 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 Newcastle calls go unanswered
- every hour you are under a sink with your hands full
- while driving between jobs
- evenings and weekends, when leaks announce themselves
What Newcastle callers want
- a leak coming through a ceiling
- a boiler that has stopped working
- quotes for a bathroom or a new radiator

Newcastle plumbing companies ask us
Do we keep our 0191 number?
Yes. Your existing 0191 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 Newcastle customers reach you changes.
Do you work with plumbing companies outside Newcastle?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Newcastle and everywhere across Tyne and Wear 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.
I am on the tools all day. Is that a problem?
It is the whole reason to have it. A plumber with wet hands under a sink cannot answer the phone, and that call is worth more than the ten minutes it would cost to stop.
Can it tell an emergency from a quote request?
Yes. Leaks, no heating and no hot water can all be set as urgent, so they reach you as a text within seconds while quote requests wait for the evening.
Will it give a price over the phone?
Only your call out charge and hourly rate if you want it to. Job prices need eyes on the job, and it says so.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Newcastle 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.
