What the phone looks like for a Birmingham roofing company
Birmingham and the wider the West Midlands has a population of around 2.6 million, built on manufacturing, logistics and a fast growing professional services sector. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a roofing company working across Digbeth, Edgbaston and Solihull 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 0121 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.

Birmingham roofing companies ask us
Do we keep our 0121 number?
Yes. Your existing 0121 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 Birmingham customers reach you changes.
Do you work with roofing companies outside Birmingham?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Birmingham and everywhere across the West Midlands 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 Birmingham 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.
