For UK roofing contractors

The calls you miss on a roof don't have to go to someone else.

When a customer rings and you can't get to your phone, they ring the next roofer on the list. AnteikuAI texts them back within seconds, finds out what's wrong, takes the address, and hands you a lead that's ready to call.

  • Your existing number stays the same
  • Rolling monthly — no lock-in
  • You can take over any conversation
Example conversation
Missed call — 14:12
Sorry we missed you — we're up on a roof. What's the problem, and what's the postcode?
Water's coming through the bedroom ceiling. SA2 0AU.
That sounds urgent. Are you free for a callback after 4pm?
Yes, after 4 is fine.
Lead ready Active leak — bedroom ceiling · SA2 0AU · callback after 4pm

Why a missed call costs you the job

Independent polling on what people actually do when a business doesn't pick up.

37% would give up within 60 seconds and ring a competitor instead
18% wouldn't wait even 30 seconds before moving on
6% would leave a voicemail rather than wait
24% would switch to another way of getting in touch
90%

would rather speak to a real person — 74% strongly so. Only 2% would prefer to deal with an AI, and among the over-55s it rises to 95% who want a human.

Which is the whole point. The assistant doesn't try to be you, and it won't pretend to be human if anyone asks. It finds out what the job is and hands it over, so the person they wanted is the one who rings back.

Figures from a YouGov survey of 2,046 UK adults aged 18+, nationally representative, fieldwork 5–8 June 2026, commissioned by Answer4u.

How it works

Four steps. Nothing changes about the number on your van.

1

A customer rings your number

Your existing number stays exactly as it is — on the van, on your website, on Google. Calls you don't answer forward quietly to your AnteikuAI line.

2

They get a text back in seconds

Instead of ringing out, they get a message from your business asking what's going on with the roof — before they've had time to look up anyone else.

3

It works out what they need

Is water coming through right now or is it a slow drip? What's the address and postcode? When suits for a visit? Urgent jobs get flagged as urgent.

4

You get a lead worth calling

Job, address, urgency and a callback time — waiting for you when you're off the roof. Step in at any point and the assistant stops talking immediately.

What it does, and what it doesn't

We'd rather you knew the limits up front than found them out in week two.

It does

  • Text back missed callers automatically, day or night
  • Ask what the problem is and how urgent it is
  • Take a full address and postcode
  • Flag active leaks and storm damage as urgent
  • Agree a callback or visit time
  • Stop instantly the moment you take over the conversation
  • Honour STOP requests automatically

It doesn't

  • Quote prices — every quote stays yours, on site
  • Promise arrival times you haven't agreed to
  • Answer your phone or speak to anyone by voice
  • Cold-message anybody — it only replies to people who rang you first
  • Pretend to be human if a customer asks outright
  • Get it right every single time. Nothing does. You can read and take over every conversation.

Why we text instead of talking

There are two ways to catch a call you couldn't answer. We picked the one that leaves you something in writing.

A voice assistant answers

  • It has to pick up within about a second, or the caller notices the pause
  • It has to understand the caller over whatever noise is around them
  • It has to get the address right first time, by ear
  • Nothing exists in writing until the call is over

Ours texts back

  • Nothing is spoken, so nothing can be misheard
  • The customer replies in their own time, in their own words
  • The address and postcode arrive typed, not transcribed
  • You read the whole thread, and step in whenever you want

Both approaches work, and plenty of good systems answer by voice. We built the second one because on a roof you are rarely free to talk, and because an address that is wrong by one digit sends you to the wrong street.

Common questions

The things roofers ask before they commit.

Does my phone number change?

No. Your existing number stays exactly as it is — on the van, on your website, on Google. Calls you don't answer forward quietly to your AnteikuAI line.

What does it cost to start?

£900 to begin — the £500 one-off setup plus your first month. £400 a month after that, rolling, with no fixed term.

Can I cancel?

Yes. It's rolling monthly with no fixed term. Cancel by giving 7 days' notice before your next billing date.

Does it quote prices to my customers?

No. Every quote stays yours, on site. The assistant doesn't quote prices and doesn't promise arrival times you haven't agreed to.

What if I want to take over a conversation?

Send a message yourself and the assistant goes quiet immediately. It never talks over you.

Does it cold-message people?

No. It only replies to people who rang you first, and it honours STOP requests automatically at network level.

Who controls my customers' data?

You do. You remain the data controller. We process on your behalf under a written agreement, using GoHighLevel and Twilio as infrastructure. We never sell contact data.
