01
They Ring. You’re on a Job.
Busy, no-answer, or a dedicated Slotby line. Either way the caller gets a person-sounding UK voice, not your voicemail.
For plumbers
You’re on a Job. We Book the Next One.
Slotby is an AI receptionist for UK plumbers. It picks up the missed ring, books the leak into your diary, and texts the van. You stay under the sink.
Trained on how a British plumber actually takes work — not a generic call script.
What the caller hears
Voicemail Loses the Job. This Books It.
A kitchen leak. Same customer. Instead of hanging up on your messaging service, they leave with a time.
Oakfield Plumbing · example booking desk
Slotby: Oakfield Plumbing, you’re through to the booking desk. What’s the job?
Caller: Kitchen tap’s been dripping all week — now the cupboard’s soaked.
Slotby: We can get someone out. When works for you?
Caller: Can you do 2pm tomorrow?
Slotby: Tomorrow at 2 is already taken. I’ve got 4:30pm — would that work?
Caller: Yes, 4:30 is fine.
Text to you: kitchen leak, 14 Park Rd, Leeds. Tomorrow 4:30pm.
How it works
Fifteen Minutes to Set Up. Then You Forget It’s There.
02
We Book the Diary.
It checks the slots you’ve given us, offers the next one that fits, and only says booked when the calendar write worked.
03
You Get the Text.
Job, address, time. You don’t log into anything. If it sounds off, we look at the call the same day.
What it will and won’t do
Calm on a Messy Call. Strict on Safety.
It Will
- Boiler leaks, dripping taps, blocked waste, showers, cylinders
- A slot you actually have, not a guess
- Name, address, access notes, number read back
- A text to the van the moment it’s booked
It Won’t
- Dialling 999 — it tells them to hang up and ring 999 themselves
- Jobs outside your towns
- Price-haggling if you’ve said you don’t do that on the phone
- Claiming it’s booked if the diary write didn’t stick
