AI Receptionist for Decorators UK — Never Miss a Quote While You're On the Brush
You are halfway up a ladder, cutting in around a cornice. Your phone rings.
You could come down, take your gloves off, answer it. Or you could stay focused on the job, finish the cut cleanly, and check your phone in 20 minutes.
By the time you check, the person who wanted a quote for a full house repaint — four days' work, £1,200 — has already called someone else.
This is the invisible cost of being good at your job. The better you are, the more focused you are on the work in front of you. And the more calls slip through.
What VoxMate does on a decorator's call
VoxMate answers in your business name while you stay on the ladder. Calm, professional, natural. Not a robot. Not a call centre.
Hi, I'm looking to get a quote for decorating — we've just bought a house and want the whole place done.
Lovely — congratulations on the new place. Let me take some details and get someone to call you back with a quote. How many rooms are we talking roughly?
Four bedrooms, living room, hallway and stairs. All needs stripping and repainting.
Great scope. Can I take your name and the address?
Jenny Walsh. 8 Maple Close, Solihull, B91 2LW.
Perfect Jenny. Any preference on timing — is this urgent or more of a planned project?
Planned — we're looking to get it done in the next couple of months.
Brilliant. I'll get those details over now and someone will be in touch very shortly.

What it costs you to miss a decorating quote

Miss two quotes per month. At £1,500 average, that is £3,000 per month you never quoted for. The homeowner did not cancel — they just found someone who answered.
