The Cost of Missed Calls for UK Tradespeople

Missed Calls = Missed Jobs

If you’re a plumber, electrician, roofer, or decorator in the UK, your phone is your lifeline. Yet even during normal working hours, missed calls happen, and they cost more than you think. Industry data shows that 80% of missed calls never ring back. That means the lead you lost today could have been your next big job tomorrow.

Why Call Speed Matters for Winning Work

Even if you pick up eventually, taking 4–5 rings gives customers time to lose patience. In today’s mobile-first world, people expect an answer within seconds. If they don’t get it, they move on to the next tradesperson they find on Google or Checkatrade.
