Built for Plumbing Contractor Businesses Like Yours
Main Contractors & Developers
Housebuilders and main contractors requiring first-fix and second-fix plumbing on new-build estates — programme-critical carcass pipework, SVP installation, and sanitaryware fitting that follows the carpenter and precedes the decorator. They need reliable gangs, consistent quality, and weekly plot throughput.
Homeowners
Homeowners needing bathroom renovations, kitchen plumbing, en-suite additions, and leak repairs. They value clear communication about timelines, disruption, and costs — especially for projects that disable their hot water or main bathroom during the work.
Facilities Managers & Commercial Clients
Facilities managers commissioning washroom refits, TMV installation programmes, and commercial plumbing maintenance. Office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and retail premises requiring compliant plumbing with minimal operational disruption.
Architects & Interior Designers
Architects specifying plumbing layouts for high-end residential renovations and commercial fit-outs. Interior designers requiring precise waste and supply positioning for statement sanitaryware — wall-hung WCs, freestanding baths, and concealed-cistern installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the AI understand plumbing terminology?
The complete plumbing vocabulary is configured — first fix (carcass, rough-in, dead leg, drop), second fix (sanitaryware, tap hole, waste trap, overflow, flexi connector), soil vent pipe (SVP, boss connection, strap boss, solvent weld), mains connection (stopcock, PRV, meter, MDPE, boundary box), manifold (PEX, push-fit, PB, zone valve, actuator), unvented cylinder (Megaflo, Gledhill, Telford, G3, expansion vessel, tundish, D1/D2 discharge, temperature-and-pressure relief valve), TMV (thermostatic mixing valve, TMV2, TMV3, HTM 04-01), underfloor heating (UFH, screed, manifold, flow rate, dT), pipe (copper, plastic push-fit, press-fit Viega/Geberit, solvent weld, PEX barrier pipe), trap (P-trap, bottle, McAlpine, Hep2O), leak (mains pipe, joint, pin hole, burst), and backflow prevention (RPZ, double-check valve). When a main contractor describes 'first fix — 22mm and 15mm copper carcass, SVP to both bathrooms, manifold-fed PEX UFH ground floor, mains entry with PRV,' the AI records every specification element.
Can the AI differentiate a domestic bathroom from a commercial washroom programme?
A homeowner asking about 'fitting a new bathroom — bath, shower over, WC, and basin' generates a domestic bathroom lead with scope, access, and timescale. A facilities manager describing 'washroom refit — twelve WCs, eight basins, four urinals, TMVs on every basin, two floors, Building Regs Part G compliance' generates a commercial programme lead with sanitaryware schedule, TMV specification, compliance standard, and operational constraints. The lead structures differ completely.
What about emergency plumbing calls?
Burst pipes flooding kitchens, unvented cylinders discharging through the tundish continuously, mains stopcock failures with water pouring from the boundary box, blocked soil stacks backing up into ground-floor WCs, and leaking joints behind tiled bathroom walls — plumbing emergencies create immediate property damage. The AI captures the emergency type, the water location, whether the supply has been isolated, and the property access for priority attendance.
How much does this cost for a plumbing contractor?
Plumbing contractors pay £49/month for the Core plan — 120 minutes of AI phone answering plus unlimited website chat. Whether you are a sole-trader bathroom fitter or a multi-gang firm delivering new-build plumbing across housing estates, the allowance accommodates your call blend. Additional channels are £23/month each. Setup is £295 with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Is this suitable for a sole-trader plumber?
Solo plumbers benefit enormously. When you are soldering copper joints under a bath, connecting an unvented cylinder with the blow torch lit, or running PEX through floor joists in a crawl space — answering a phone risks the joint, the safety procedure, or the physical position. The AI captures every bathroom quote, every developer enquiry, and every emergency call while you complete the installation safely.
Can I control when calls go to the AI?
Configure coverage through your dashboard to match your plumbing day. During active first-fix — when you are under the floor running pipework — send every call to the AI. During site surveys and quoting visits — take calls directly. Toggle from your phone whenever your position changes.
How is plumbing project data protected?
Plumbing enquiries contain property addresses, system specifications, developer programme schedules, 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 details reach competing plumbers or third parties.
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 plumbing contractor 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 plumbing contractor business accurately.
