The AI Receptionist Built for UK Leadworkers

Every aspect of the leadworker's vocabulary is programmed in — lead sheet (milled, cast, sand-cast), code 3 through code 8, bossing, bossing stick, bossing mallet, lead welding (burning), soldering, back gutter, front apron, soakers, stepped flashing, chase, pointed chase, chimney weathering set, valley lining, parapet gutter, box gutter, bay window top, dormer cheek, dormer flat, rolls, drips, welted edge, copper clip, stainless steel clip, patination oil, lead-burned joint, undercloak, overcloak, fixing clip, LSA accreditation, LBM Training, ornamental leadwork, hopper head, and finial. When an architect describes 'code 7 milled lead, traditional rolls at 600mm centres, drips at 1.5 metres, copper clips at 450mm, lead-welded intersections, patination oil finish,' the AI records the complete specification.

A roofer calling about 'chimney flashing on a semi in Headington — stepped both sides, front apron, and a back gutter, code 4' generates a domestic subcontract lead with chimney dimensions and lead code. An architect describing 'full nave roof replacement on a Grade I listed twelfth-century church — code 7 sand-cast match, thirty-five square metres across four bays, lead-welded rolls and drips, English Heritage grant condition' generates a heritage restoration tender with accreditation requirements, grant compliance, and faculty details. The two generate entirely different lead profiles.

Lead failures produce persistent leaks — a cracked back gutter channelling water into the chimney breast during every rainfall, a failed valley lining soaking the bedroom ceiling below, or a split roll on a flat lead roof admitting wind-driven rain. The AI captures the failure location, the lead component, the leak severity, and the building type, and escalates for priority attendance.

Leadworkers pay £49/month for the Core plan — 120 minutes of AI phone answering plus unlimited website chat. Whether you are a sole-trader leadworker bossing chimney sets for local roofers or an LSA-accredited firm tendering Grade I church re-roofing programmes funded by English Heritage grants, the talk-time allowance accommodates your enquiry mix. Additional channels are £23/month each. Setup is £295 with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Solo leadworkers benefit profoundly. When you are bossing a back gutter around a complex chimney junction at scaffold height, both hands on the mallet, the lead creasing into the internal angle, answering a phone is structurally impossible. The AI captures every roofer's subcontract request, every architect's heritage specification, and every homeowner's chimney leak while you dress the metal cleanly.

Adjust coverage from your dashboard to match leadwork workflows. During active bossing and welding — when concentration is absolute and both hands are occupied — send every call to the AI. During measuring, quoting, and ordering lead from the merchant — take calls yourself. Switch modes from your phone at any point during the day.

Leadwork enquiries contain listed building addresses, heritage specifications, grant references, DAC faculty details, architectural drawings, and commercially sensitive pricing. All data captured by the AI is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on UK and EU servers governed by UK GDPR, and shared exclusively with you. No project information reaches competing leadworkers or third parties.

Data security is built into every layer of our service. When your AI receptionist captures a client's name, contact number, site address, or project details, that information is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols. All data is stored on UK and EU-based servers — never offshore. We operate as your data processor under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, meaning we handle enquiry data strictly on your behalf and never sell, share, or repurpose it. You and your clients can request deletion of any stored data at any time. As the contractor, you remain the data controller for all client information captured through our service. Our full data handling practices are detailed in our privacy policy.

If your prices change, you add or remove a service, or your working hours shift, just let us know and we update your AI receptionist configuration for free. Routine business information updates — pricing adjustments, new service offerings, revised availability, and updated contact details — are all included at no extra cost. We handle the change on our end, typically within one working day, so your AI always reflects your current leadworker business accurately.
