What the phone looks like for a Brighton roofing company
Brighton and the wider Sussex has a population of around 290,000, built on creative industries, tourism and a very high density of independent businesses. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a roofing company working across Hove, Kemptown and Preston Park most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
After a storm the whole town rings at eight in the morning, and the roofers who answer take the work for the next month.
Callwise answers on your own 01273 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 Brighton calls go unanswered

Brighton roofing companies ask us
Do we keep our 01273 number?
Yes. Your existing 01273 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 Brighton customers reach you changes.
Do you work with roofing companies outside Brighton?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Brighton and everywhere across Sussex 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 are on roofs all day. How is that meant to work?
It answers instead of you. A roofer cannot take a call safely at height, which is why roofing has one of the worst answer rates of any trade and why one missed call can be a four figure job.
What happens the day after a storm?
It takes every call at once, however many come in together, and gives you a list ordered by urgency instead of thirty voicemails.
Can it quote for a roof?
No, and it says so. It books the survey, which is the only honest answer and the one that gets you on the drive.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Brighton 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.
