What the phone looks like for a Reading roofing 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 roofing company working across Caversham, Earley and Tilehurst 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 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
- every hour of every day, because you are on a roof

- evenings, when people notice the damp patch

Reading roofing 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 roofing 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 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 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.
