Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI understand painting and decorating terminology?
During onboarding, your AI receptionist learns the vocabulary of the trade — emulsion, satinwood, eggshell, undercoat, primer, masking, cutting in, mist coat, sugar soap, lining paper, paste-the-wall, feature wall, coving, dado rail, and more. When a homeowner says 'the ceiling has got yellow stains and the woodwork needs glossing,' the AI understands and captures it correctly. It adapts its questions based on whether the caller is discussing interior decorating, exterior painting, or specialist finishes.
Can the AI handle both interior and exterior decorating enquiries?
Yes. Whether the caller wants a lounge repainted, wallpaper hung in a bedroom, the outside of the house painted, or fascias and soffits done, the AI captures the work type, scope, and details. It sends you the full summary for your assessment.
What happens if someone calls about an emergency — like water damage to a ceiling?
The AI recognises urgency. If a caller describes water staining from a leak, flaking paint from damp, or damage that needs immediate attention before a property inspection, the AI escalates — trying your mobile first, then our human operators. Routine decorating enquiries are captured as standard leads.
How much does it cost for a painting and decorating business?
The Core plan is £49/month and includes AI phone answering (300 minutes) plus unlimited website chat. Additional channels — WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook, Instagram, email, and missed call text-back — are £23/month each. The pricing is the same whether you are a sole trader decorator, a painting contractor with a team, or a painting and decorating company handling commercial work. There is a one-time setup fee of £295 (refundable within 30 days).
Is this suitable for a small painting business or sole trader decorator?
Absolutely. Whether you are a one-man decorating business, a painting contractor with one or two others, or a larger painting and decorating company — this was built for you. Sole trader decorators are the ones up a ladder when the phone rings. You cannot answer with a roller in your hand. The AI catches every call.
Can the AI provide decorating quotes?
No — and that is deliberate. Decorating prices depend on room size, wall condition, preparation needed, paint quality, and whether wallpaper is involved. The AI captures all relevant details and passes the lead for your personal assessment and quoting.
How does Rapid Receptionist protect my customers' personal data?
All data captured — names, numbers, addresses, job details — is managed under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on UK and EU servers, and shared only with you. We never sell, share, or repurpose enquiry data. You remain the data controller; we act as your data processor under a formal agreement.
How does Rapid Receptionist protect my clients' personal information?
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.
What if my painter & decorator business details change?
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 painter & decorator business accurately.
