For Painters and Decorators
You are on site, walls half painted, drips on your shoes. A potential customer calls to ask about painting a four-bedroom house in April. They want a quote. You cannot answer right now. They call three other painters. The first one who calls back gets the job.
Propel fixes this. Our AI receptionist answers every call, captures the job details, and sends you a structured quote enquiry summary. You call back the jobs you want. Never lose a lead to a missed call again.
Interior painting jobs worth GBP 2,000-5,000 and exterior work worth GBP 1,500-3,000 are won and lost on the first phone call. If you cannot answer when the customer calls, they move on. And the customers who call when you are on a job are often the ones with the clearest requirements -- they have already decided they want a professional painter.
Evening and weekend enquiries are particularly valuable -- these are homeowners calling after work when you are most busy on site. They want a decorator and they want someone now. If you call them back within an hour, you are likely to get the job.
Living room, bedroom, whole-house painting -- high-value domestic work worth GBP 1,500-5,000 per job
Outside walls, fascia, soffits -- work that generates repeat enquiries and referrals
Offices, shops, restaurants -- larger contract work that requires fast turnaround and professional response
The most valuable enquiry window -- homeowners calling after work when they are ready to book
Propel AI answers every call, 24/7, 365 days a year. It captures the property type, room count, interior or exterior, preferred timing, and any other details you need to quote accurately. The summary arrives in your phone before you have finished painting the current wall.
You are on a job and your phone rings. The AI answers immediately with your business name and captures the caller's details. No missed calls, no voicemail, no lost leads.
Property type, room count, interior or exterior, approximate size, preferred start date -- the AI collects everything you need to quote without requiring a call-back.
You are hands on, mid-job, unable to answer. The AI captures the enquiry and sends you a summary. You call back when you have five minutes -- on your lunch break, after the job.
Homeowners call after work and at weekends -- when you are most busy or not working. Propel covers these windows so every enquiry is answered professionally.
Offices, retail units, commercial properties -- the AI handles these professionally too, capturing the scope, timeline, and contact details for your commercial pipeline.
Every call generates a structured summary delivered to your phone. Property details, scope, timeline, contact -- everything you need to send an accurate quote within minutes.
