The Problem

Why Painters & Decorators Lose Jobs to Missed Calls

Painting jobs range from £200 touch-ups to £8,000+ commercial contracts. But you're up a ladder, in a dust sheet, or with paint on your hands. When the phone rings, you miss it — and the customer moves on.

You're up a ladder or in a dust sheet — phones go unanswered

You're mid-roll on a ceiling, up a ladder cutting in, or covered in dust sheets. The phone rings. By the time you clean up, the caller has moved on to the next painter on Google. That £2,500 exterior repaint goes to your competitor while you're still washing brushes.

Pre-sale painting enquiries are time-sensitive and high-value

A homeowner calls in February — 'We need the whole house painted before it goes on the market in March'. This is a £4,000-£6,000 job with a hard deadline. If you miss the call, they've already rung two other painters by the time you check your phone. Katie captures the deadline, room count, and move date immediately.

Commercial contracts come from agents who won't leave voicemail

A letting agent calls about painting 12 flats between tenancies. It's a £8,000 recurring contract. But agents are busy — they won't leave voicemail. If you miss the call, they move to the next painter on their approved list. Katie captures agent details, property count, and timeline — then texts you instantly.

Colour-matching emergency calls need context voicemail can't capture

A customer calls — 'I need the lounge ceiling repainted after a leak, and it needs to match the walls exactly'. A voicemail says nothing about the existing colour, finish type, or urgency. Katie captures: room size, existing paint brand/colour (if known), surface damage extent, and whether it's insurance work — so you arrive with colour cards and samples.

How It Works

How Katie Works for Painters & Decorators

Four simple steps from missed call to booked job. Katie handles the conversation. You handle the painting.

Painting enquiry comes in — any time

Katie answers with your painting company's greeting. She identifies if it's an interior job, exterior repaint, commercial contract, emergency touch-up, or specialist finish enquiry.

Painting-specific qualification

Captures: property type and room count, job scope (touch-up/room/full house/exterior), surface condition, colour preferences, timeline, and whether materials are included. Commercial jobs get flagged.

WhatsApp with full brief

Alert shows: 'Full exterior repaint — 4-bed detached — soffits/fascias/guttering included — current paint flaking — want weather-resistant masonry paint — budget £4-6k — need completed before house sale — postcode RG1 — survey requested' with customer number.

Accept job or schedule survey

For emergency touch-ups: accept and arrive with matching paint. For large projects: schedule a site survey with full context. Commercial contracts get priority follow-up for quote preparation.

Got Questions?

Painter & Decorator FAQ

Everything you need to know about AI call handling for painting and decorating businesses

How much does AI call handling cost for painters and decorators?

Whoza.ai starts at £59/month for the Starter plan. One captured interior painting job for a 3-bedroom house averages £1,200-£2,500. A full exterior repaint can be £3,000-£8,000. At £59/month, one missed room repaint pays for the entire year. Overage minutes are billed at £0.40/minute. No hidden fees or contracts.

Can Katie handle emergency painting and touch-up calls?

Yes. Katie identifies urgent painting enquiries like 'water stain on ceiling', 'peeling paint after leak', 'mould on walls', 'scuff marks before house sale', and 'tenant check-out painting'. She marks these as priority and captures the full context — room size, surface type, colour match requirements, and timeline — so you arrive prepared with the right paint and tools.

What information does Katie collect from painting customers?

Katie collects: full name, phone number, postcode, property type (house/flat/commercial), job type (interior/exterior/both), room count and sizes (if known), surface type (plaster/wood/UPVC/metal), current condition (fresh paint/overpaint/damage repair), colour preferences, timeline, whether materials are included in quote, and how they found you.

Can Katie distinguish between a quick touch-up and a full house repaint?

Yes. Katie is trained to qualify painting jobs by scope. 'One wall in the lounge' gets small-job tagging. 'Full exterior including soffits and fascias' gets large-project tagging with budget qualification. 'Commercial office repaint' gets commercial tagging. Each type gets appropriate follow-up handling in your dashboard, so you prioritise high-value jobs.

Does Katie handle commercial painting and decorating enquiries?

Yes. Katie identifies commercial calls by keywords like 'office', 'shop', 'restaurant', 'hotel', 'landlord', 'letting agent', 'property management', and 'multiple properties'. She captures: business name, property type, number of rooms/units, whether it's a one-off or ongoing contract, insurance requirements, and preferred survey date. Commercial enquiries get flagged as 'commercial' for priority handling.

How does whoza.ai help with landlord and letting agent enquiries?

Katie recognises landlord-specific terminology like 'between tenancies', 'check-out', 'end of tenancy', 'rental property', and 'letting agent'. She captures: number of properties, property type, room count, whether it's a refresh or full repaint, preferred dates between tenancies, and agent contact details. These recurring maintenance jobs build predictable, repeat revenue.

Can Katie handle wallpapering and specialist finish enquiries?

Yes. Katie captures wallpapering, coving, cornicing, feature walls, lime washing, Venetian plaster, and other specialist finish enquiries. She asks about: type of finish, room dimensions, whether wallpaper is supplied, pattern matching requirements, and whether old wallpaper needs stripping. Specialist jobs get flagged so you know to bring the right tools and skills.

Will customers trust an AI with their home painting project?

Katie introduces herself as your AI assistant and explains that she's capturing details so you can provide an accurate quote. Most customers appreciate the immediate response and detailed information gathering. Most callers are satisfied with the AI experience, and painting customers particularly like that Katie captures room sizes, surface conditions, and colour preferences — saving time on the initial quote call.

Painter Testimonial

"I was cutting in a ceiling in Clifton when my phone rang three times. First was a lounge repaint — £850 job. Second was a letting agent with 8 flats between tenancies — £6,400 contract. Third was a scuff touch-up — £120. Katie captured all three with room counts, deadlines, and agent details. I called back at 4pm and booked the agent contract for next month. That one job paid for Katie for 9 years."
