What the phone looks like for a Leeds building company
Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire has a population of around 1.9 million, built on finance, legal services and healthcare. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a building company working across Headingley, Chapel Allerton and Horsforth most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
An extension enquiry is worth tens of thousands and the homeowner is ringing three builders the same evening.
Callwise answers on your own 0113 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.

Leeds building companies ask us
Do we keep our 0113 number?
Yes. Your existing 0113 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 Leeds customers reach you changes.
Do you work with building companies outside Leeds?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Leeds and everywhere across West Yorkshire 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.
Our jobs are big. Is a phone answering service really the issue?
The bigger the job the worse a missed call is. One extension is worth more than a year of this, and homeowners ring three builders in an evening.
Can it screen enquiries?
Yes. It asks your qualifying questions, budget, timescale and whether there are drawings, so you only drive out to jobs worth quoting.
Will it commit us to a start date?
Never. It books a site visit and says clearly that dates come after you have seen the job.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Leeds 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.
