AI Receptionist for Gas Engineers UK — Never Miss a Boiler Breakdown Call
A family wakes up in January with no heating and no hot water. They pick up the phone.
They call three Gas Safe engineers. The first one who calls back gets the job. Boiler replacement — £1,800 to £3,500. The kind of job that makes a week's revenue in a single visit.
You are already on a job. The call goes unanswered. Someone else gets it.
What VoxMate does on a gas engineer's call
VoxMate answers in your business name. Detects heating emergency keywords automatically. Captures the fault, the boiler make and model, and the urgency — so when you call back, you already know what you are walking into.
Hi — my boiler has completely stopped working, I've got no heating or hot water. I've got two kids in the house.
I'm sorry to hear that — let me get this flagged as urgent. Can I take your name and address?
Claire Osei. 12 Birchwood Drive, Coventry, CV3 5AL.
Thank you Claire. Do you know the make of the boiler, or is there an error code showing on the display?
It's a Worcester Bosch. There's an error code — it says A28.
Perfect — that's really helpful. I'll get all of this over to the engineer right now and they will call you back as soon as possible. Is the number you're calling from the best one to reach you on?
Yes.
Great. You'll hear from us very shortly, Claire.

You finish your current job. You call Claire back. You get the Worcester Bosch job.
What it costs you to miss a gas engineer call
Boiler service: £80–£120. Boiler repair: £150–£500. Boiler replacement: £1,800–£3,500. Landlord gas safety certificate: £60–£100 (and they have multiple properties).
Miss one boiler replacement per month. That is £2,000+ handed to a competitor. Miss one landlord with five properties who never gets through — that is years of recurring work gone.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Yes. VoxMate detects heating emergency language — "no heating", "no hot water", "boiler not working", error codes — and flags these as urgent on the WhatsApp summary. It captures the boiler make, model, and any error code displayed, so you arrive on-site informed. Urgent calls are marked clearly so you know to call back first.
VoxMate is configured to handle genuine gas emergencies safely. If a caller reports a gas smell, carbon monoxide alarm, or potential gas leak, VoxMate advises them to leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 immediately. It still captures their details and flags the call as a priority emergency on your WhatsApp.
Yes. Landlords with multiple properties are high-value recurring customers. VoxMate captures the number of properties, the addresses, and the urgency — whether it is a compliance deadline or a routine annual service. A landlord with five properties who gets through to a professional receptionist is far more likely to book with you than one who hears voicemail.
You can include your Gas Safe registration number and any other credentials in your VoxMate greeting configuration. When callers ask whether you are Gas Safe registered, VoxMate confirms it and provides the number. This builds trust immediately on the first call.
A traditional human answering service for tradespeople typically costs £100 to £400 per month and only covers 9am to 5pm. VoxMate costs £49 per month, works 24/7 including bank holidays, and delivers leads to WhatsApp in 30 seconds rather than emailing a message sheet you might not see until the next day. January boiler breakdowns do not wait for office hours.
