Storm damage calls answered — even when the crew is on the roof

Demo

A real, short call

A caller reports no heating. Secra checks location, urgency, and preferred appointment time — then sends your team a structured brief, not a vague voicemail.

Outcome

The exact brief your roofers receives

Every call becomes structured text — WhatsApp, SMS, email, and in-app — so your engineer rings back with postcode, urgency, and preferred time already in hand.

What do missed calls actually cost?

If you miss 8 calls a week and only 15% were high-value enquiries for roofing contractors, what does that cost?

Illustrative only — adjust to match your business.

Estimated lost revenue

£800 / week

What Secra handles

Six jobs your phone line should do for roofing contractors

Storm damage and active leaks

Collects postcode, whether the leak is ongoing, and safe access — urgent jobs notify your duty roofer by SMS for a same-day callback.

Re-roof and insurance quotes

Captures roof type, property size, and claim references so your office can follow up without the caller repeating details.

Roof inspection booking

Schedules survey slots when your calendar is connected, confirming ladder access and whether the homeowner will be present.

FAQs from your knowledge

Answers coverage areas, accreditations, typical response times, and pricing policies from documents you upload — not a generic script.

Call routing and handoff

Routes by urgency, business hours, and category. Hunt groups, simultaneous ring, or AI-selected targets — you define the rules.

Follow-ups and notifications

Post-call summaries by email, SMS, and in-app. Emergencies and complaints always notify the right staff member.

Trust

Clear escalation rules — not a black box

You define what happens for emergencies, uncertain answers, and human hand-offs. Secra follows your rules and documents every step.

Emergencies

Burst pipes, no heating in winter, lock-outs, and live faults follow your rules — safe shut-off advice, location and urgency captured, then transfer to on-call or an immediate SMS/WhatsApp to duty staff.

Uncertain answers

If Secra is not confident from your knowledge — pricing that needs surveying, availability it cannot see, or a policy you have not uploaded — it says so, captures details, and schedules a human callback. It does not invent quotes.

Human hand-off

Callers can ask for a person at any time. Secra summarises what they need and transfers to the right mobile or office line — with the full conversation attached so your team picks up in context.

FAQ

Questions from roofing contractors

Can it distinguish an emergency leak from a quote request?

Yes. You define urgency rules in your knowledge base. Active leaks trigger immediate notifications; re-roof quotes are logged for office follow-up.

Does it handle insurance enquiries?

It captures claim references, damage description, and access details from your approved script. It does not negotiate with insurers or promise claim approval.

Can it book roof inspections?

When your calendar is connected, yes. It offers slots, confirms safe ladder access, and sends confirmations to the customer and assigned surveyor.
