AI Receptionist for Electricians UK — Capture Every Lead While You're On the Tools
You are inside a consumer unit. Both hands on live circuits. Your phone rings.
You are not answering it. You should not answer it. But that call was someone who needs an EICR, a consumer unit upgrade, or an EV charger installed — and they are going to call whoever picks up.
You finish the job. You check your phone. Missed call, no voicemail. Job gone.
What VoxMate does on an electrician's call
VoxMate answers in your business name the moment the call arrives. It knows the difference between a tripped RCD and a rewire enquiry. It captures what matters.
Hi, I need an EICR doing on a rental property — landlord certificate. How soon can you do it?
Of course — let me get the details over to the engineer. Can I take your name and the address of the property?
Sandra Hill. The property is 34 Ferndale Road, Brixton, SW9 8AH.
And is it a house or a flat, and do you know how many circuits it has roughly?
Two-bedroom flat. I've got three properties actually — all need doing.
Perfect — I'll note all three need EICRs. I'll get this straight to the engineer and they'll call you back to arrange dates. Best number is this one?
Yes.
You'll hear back very soon, Sandra.
WhatsApp 30 seconds later:
Three EICRs from one call. Captured while you were in the consumer unit.
What it costs you to miss an electrician's call
EICR: £120–£300. Consumer unit upgrade: £500–£1,200. Full rewire: £3,000–£10,000. EV charger installation: £800–£1,500.
Landlords with multiple properties are recurring revenue — lose the first call and you lose all of it. Miss one landlord with three properties per month and that is hundreds of pounds in EICR work alone, before any remedials.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Yes. VoxMate is configured to ask the right questions for electrical work — property type, number of circuits, whether it is residential or commercial, and urgency. For EICR enquiries it captures how many properties the landlord needs certificated. For consumer unit upgrades it gets the property address and preferred timescale. You call back with context.
That is exactly what VoxMate is for. Answering your phone while working inside a consumer unit or on live wiring is dangerous. VoxMate means you never have to choose between safety and missing a job — it answers every call professionally while you keep both hands on the work.
Yes. VoxMate is configured for your trade and understands common electrical language from callers — tripped RCD, fuse board, consumer unit, rewire, EICR, EV charger, Part P. When callers describe their problem, VoxMate captures it accurately so the WhatsApp summary you receive makes sense and gives you the context to prepare.
Yes. Landlords with portfolios often need multiple EICRs completed before a deadline. VoxMate captures the number of properties, the postcodes, and the urgency. These are your highest-value recurring customers — losing them to voicemail is expensive. VoxMate makes sure you are first to call back.
Traditional answering services for tradespeople typically charge £100 to £400 per month, cover limited hours, and send leads by email. VoxMate costs £49 per month, answers 24/7, and delivers a WhatsApp summary within 30 seconds of the call ending — no email to remember to check, no service that goes quiet at 6pm when fault calls peak.
