For plumbers
The best AI receptionist
for plumbers.
Burst pipes and water heaters convert in seconds, to whoever answers.
A Saturday morning, told straight
A burst-pipe call goes to whoever picks up first.
Picture a Saturday morning. Someone's pipe just gave out, water on the kitchen floor, kids crying. They open Google, search "emergency plumber near me", and start calling.
The first plumber doesn't answer. They're on a job. The second goes to voicemail. The third picks up after four rings, says they can be there in two hours, and just earned £180.
You were the first plumber. You were on a ladder. You didn't even hear the phone.
That call would have been yours if it rang once and got answered. Foan answers every call in two seconds, takes their address and the type of job, books them into your calendar, and texts or WhatsApps you the second they hang up. You finish what you're doing and call back while the kettle's on.
The numbers a plumber tends to do: 5–10 missed calls a week, average call-out £150–£300. Even at the low end that's £3,000 a month walking out the door. Foan costs £49.
Same pattern works for boiler service, drain unblocks, leaks, bathroom installs.
The maths for a plumber

When the phone rings, you can't answer.
Water on the floor doesn't leave voicemails. It calls the next plumber.
Foan answers every line at once.
