The questions behind the number
How much do missed calls cost a UK trade business?
If a trade business misses one £200 job a day, five days a week, that is £1,000 a week — roughly £52,000 a year in lost work. Emergency callers rarely leave voicemail; they ring the next business on the list, so a missed call is usually a lost job, not a delayed one.
Why don't callers just leave a voicemail or call back?
Because their problem is urgent and the supply of trades is one search away. Research on local service calls consistently shows the majority of callers with an urgent job won't leave a message — the first business that answers wins the work, even at a higher price.
What's the cheapest way to stop missing calls?
The surest fix is an AI receptionist that answers every call live 24/7, qualifies the job and books it straight into the diary — with instant text-back on anything missed as a safety net. WebSP runs this as a managed voice plan from £39/month, booking included, or an owned build you keep outright.
