Every plumber, roofer, and electrician we spoke to said the same thing. The phone rings whilst they're under a sink, on a roof, halfway up a ladder. By the time they get back to it, the caller's already moved on. It's the single biggest leak in a trades business — and the one nobody in tech had built a real fix for.
Most answering services are too expensive or too generic. Most AI tools are too technical or too complicated to set up. What tradespeople actually need is something simple: someone who answers the phone properly, asks the right questions, and books the job. That's what Allie does.
We're based in Southampton and we work with tradespeople across the UK. Our goal is straightforward — help ten Hampshire trades businesses stop losing work to missed calls. Then a hundred. Then more. One trade, one business, one booked job at a time.
