Trades and field service

Who answers your enquiries on
the phone

Whoever gets back to a customer first usually wins the job. We build an agent that answers and works out what the work is, then books it into your diary. It does the same whether they rang you or filled in your form at nine at night.

Good evening, Marchwood Heating, you're through to Ellie. This call's recorded. What's happened?
Oh, hiya. Sorry, I know it's late... the boiler's gone. There's no hot water at all and the house is freezing.
Right, that's the horrible one. I've an engineer free from ten in the morning. I'll put you in for that and text the confirmation over now.

In short

VoiceDart builds bespoke AI voice agents for UK trades. Yours answers every call while you are on a job, qualifies the enquiry, books it into your diary and rings web leads back within seconds. It runs 24/7 from £149 a month and is built around how your business already works. Tip Top Cleaning has run one on their trades line since late March 2026.

Proof, not a projection

Tip Top Cleaning, five months in

One inbound agent on one trades line since late March 2026. It picks up while the team is out on jobs and every enquiry lands in the inbox with the details already taken.

What we build

We build whichever of these your business needs.

The phone is where most trades start. After that come the enquiries that never ring at all, and the customers you have not spoken to in two years.

Answers while you are on the job

It takes the job and the address, then books it into your diary once it knows how urgent it is. Anything that sounds like an emergency is flagged and put straight through to you.

“Hi, do you clean conservatory roofs?”

Chases the work that goes quiet

A Southampton garage runs one that rings years of past customers when their MOT falls due and books them straight back in. The same approach works for a service that is due, or a quote nobody followed up.

“Your MOT runs out on the 28th. Want me to book you in?”

Your form fires, their phone rings

Somebody fills in your quote form at nine at night and the agent rings them back within seconds, while they are still deciding who to use.

“That was quick. Go on then.”

Handles the customers who prefer to message

It messages them and sends the quote, then answers whatever comes back. A customer can photograph the leak rather than trying to describe it.

Voice notes and photographs both work.

Answers questions on your website

A visitor can ask out loud on the page, with no form to fill in. Whether you cover their postcode, whether you take emergencies, roughly what a job costs.

No form, and no waiting for a callback.

How it works

Four steps to going live

1At your place

We learn the business

What you do, where you cover, what you charge, what you will not touch.

Your rules

It works to your rules

You decide what it can quote and what it must never promise. You decide who gets put straight through to you. That line holds on every channel it works on.

01Pricing

No quoting what you have not priced

A job that needs eyes on it is booked in as a visit, and no number gets invented over the phone.

02Honesty

When it does not know, it says so

Outside what you have given it, the agent takes the details and passes them to you. No guessing.

03Urgency

Emergencies come straight through

A burst pipe at midnight reaches you. The rest waits until morning, and you decide where that line sits.

04Control

You change it whenever

Prices change and services get added. Tell us, or edit it yourself in the dashboard.

Privacy and compliance

Handled before you ask

Every build ships with all of this. None of it is an upgrade or an add on.

Built in

Your callers' data is locked down

Encrypted in transit and at rest, and handled under UK GDPR. You get a data processing agreement in writing before anybody signs anything.

Every call

Callers are told it is recorded

It is the first thing they hear, said plainly, rather than buried in a policy page.

Straight answer

Ask what it is and it tells you

It then carries on helping. Most callers simply want the question they rang about answered.

Retention

Recordings gone in 90 days

Ninety days is the default and you can shorten it. You also decide what gets captured in the first place.

Escape hatch

A human is one sentence away

Ask for a person and the agent puts you through. There is no stalling and no menu to work around.

Cost
From£149/mo

There is a build fee on top. We scope that for your business rather than publish a figure, because a single answering line and a full ordering system are very different pieces of work. If you want something simpler you set up yourself, VoiceDart Go starts at £49.

Questions

What tradespeople ask

Is this just something that answers the phone?

No, and that is the part most people misunderstand. The phone is one channel. The same agent can ring a web lead back within seconds of the form landing, work WhatsApp, chase the customers whose service is due, and talk to somebody on your website. We scope which of those you actually need and build that.

Will customers know it is AI?

It opens by saying the call may be recorded and never pretends to be a person. Ask it what it is and it tells you. Anyone who wants a human gets put through. Very few ask, because it answers what they got in touch about.

How quickly can I go live?

It depends what we are building, and I would rather say that than pick a number. A single answering agent moves quickly. Anything wired into a booking system or calling leads back takes longer. You get a real date at the end of the discovery call.

Can I keep my number?

Yes, and most clients do. You decide whether it takes every call or only the ones that ring out, and whether that runs all week or only evenings and weekends.

Will it quote a price?

Only what you have told it to quote. Anything that needs eyes on it is booked in as a visit.

Am I locked in?

No. Monthly, stop at the end of any month, no notice and no fee. The build fee is separate and is not refundable once we start, so we agree the scope first.

How much does an AI voice agent cost for a UK tradesman?

From £149 a month for a bespoke voice agent, which covers the calls, the web-lead callbacks and WhatsApp on one line. The build is scoped and quoted for your business rather than sold as a fixed package, and there is no long contract.

How is this different from an off-the-shelf AI phone tool?

Most of those take a message and text it to you. Ours answers every call, day and night, then does the rest of the job. It qualifies the caller, books the job into your diary, rings web leads back within seconds and updates the systems you already use. It is built around your business, so it sounds like you rather than like a switchboard.

Can it handle an emergency call, like a burst pipe at midnight?

Yes. You tell us what counts as urgent and what to do about it. For a genuine emergency it can take the details and put the call straight through to you, or text you the job while it books the rest. Everything else waits politely for the morning.

Who should not buy this?

If you get four enquiries a week and you answer all four, this is not worth £149 a month and we will say so on the call. If the people contacting you are usually distressed, a trained person is better than any agent. And if what you need is simple, the self-serve tool at £49 will do the job. A bespoke build earns its money when an off-the-shelf one keeps failing the people trying to reach you.

Hear it handle a real call

Book a short call and we will tell you which of these is worth building for your business, and which is not.
