The Rapid Response AI Receptionist for UK Plasterers

During setup, your AI receptionist is configured with plastering-specific vocabulary — skim coats, float and set, bonding, PVA, dubbing out, wet plaster vs dry lining, one-coat render, scratch coat, and everything else a plastering customer might describe. When a homeowner says 'the plaster is blown in the hallway,' the AI understands what that means and captures it correctly. It doesn't need to be a plasterer — it just needs to understand enough to capture the lead accurately.

Yes. The AI captures the nature of the work regardless of whether the caller is asking about a bedroom re-skim, an Artex ceiling removal, a full external render, or a specialist polished plaster finish. It identifies the type of work from the conversation and includes it in the lead summary so you know exactly what you're calling back about.

The AI recognises urgency in the conversation. If a caller describes plaster falling from a ceiling, water coming through a wall, or structural damage, the AI escalates immediately — first attempting to reach you on your mobile, then escalating to our human operators if you're unavailable. Routine re-skim requests and quote enquiries are handled as standard leads.

The Core plan is £49/month and includes AI phone answering (300 minutes) plus unlimited website chat — covering the two channels that generate the most leads for plastering businesses. Additional channels like 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 plasterer, a plastering contractor with a crew, or a rendering company — there is no difference based on business size. There is a one-time setup fee of £295 (refundable if you cancel within 30 days).

Absolutely. Whether you are a sole trader plasterer, a two-man plastering business, a rendering contractor with a small crew, or a larger plastering firm handling commercial contracts — this was built for you. Sole traders and small plastering contractors are the ones up a ladder when the phone rings. You cannot employ a receptionist. The AI handles the calls you physically cannot answer — morning, evening, weekends — and sends you every lead with full details so you can follow up between jobs.

Yes. We set up call forwarding from your existing business number to your Rapid Receptionist line. Your customers dial the same number they always have — nothing changes on their end. When you're available, calls ring through to you as normal. When you're on a job, the AI picks up. The whole setup is done for you by our team.

All customer data is managed in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Contact details, property addresses, and job descriptions are encrypted during transmission and storage, held on UK and EU servers, and shared only with you. We never sell, share, or repurpose enquiry data. You remain the data controller; Rapid Receptionist operates as your data processor under a formal agreement. Our full privacy policy is available on site.

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 plasterer business accurately.
