PLUGS INTO THE TOOLS YOU ALREADY USE

Sound Familiar?

Every Missed Call Is a Job
Going to Your Competitor

You're up on the roof, on a job, on a drive — you can't always answer the phone. But the homeowner who just dialled won't wait. They'll ring the next roofer on Google and you'll never know they called.

30 Feet Up a Ladder, Phone in the Van

You physically cannot answer when you're on a job. By the time you come down at lunchtime, that caller has already booked the roofer who picked up — and you'll never know they rang.

One Missed Call, One Lost Re-Roof

A re-roof is worth thousands. If a homeowner rings you and the next roofer picks up, that job is gone — permanently. There's no second chance once they've booked someone else.

Storm Week Kills Your Capacity

A windy weekend floods you with calls while your crew is already on jobs. You can't handle 60 enquiries and stay on the roof. Every unanswered storm call is a repair worth hundreds going elsewhere.

Admin Eating Your Evenings

You're already on the tools 10 hours a day. Sitting at the kitchen table calling back everyone who rang while you were on a job is not how the evening should go — and it still doesn't catch the ones who've moved on.

Leads Go Cold in Minutes, Not Days

A homeowner with a leaking roof calls three roofers at once. Whoever replies first gets the lead. If you're on the tools when they ring, the roofer who picks up second is already ahead of you.

New Customers Never Ring Twice

Regulars might leave a message. Someone who found you on Google for the first time won't wait — they don't know you yet. One missed call and they're already on the next roofer's page.

What We Build

One System. Every Missed Call Answered.

A done-for-you missed call text-back system — built specifically for UK roofers. It fires the moment you can't answer, before the caller dials the next name on Google.

Step 1

Call Missed — SMS Fires

The moment your phone rings and you can't answer, the system detects the missed call in real time. An SMS goes back to the caller within seconds — any time of day or night, weekends included.

  • Triggers on every missed call, 24/7
  • Detects in real time — no delay, no batch
  • Works on your existing number — nothing changes for the caller
  • Handles storm-week call surges without breaking a sweat
Step 2

Agent Replies in Your Voice

The SMS reads like it came from you — your name, your business, your tone. It apologises for missing the call, asks what they need, and sends a booking link so they can lock in a time without back-and-forth.

  • Written in your voice — you sign off the wording before launch
  • Asks one qualifier: what's the job and what postcode?
  • Sends a booking link to capture the slot
  • Fully GDPR-compliant with clear opt-out on every message
Step 3

You Get Notified — Job's Won

The moment the lead replies, a summary lands on your phone — who rang, where they are, what they need. You call back a warm lead who's already been looked after, not a cold caller who's been waiting.

  • Live lead notification straight to your phone
  • Summary includes name, postcode, and job type
  • Lead captured before they can ring the next roofer
  • You stay focused on the job — the system handles the rest

Everything is built around your existing phone number and your tone of voice — not a generic template. We handle the full setup; you handle the roofing.

Our Process

From First Call to Live System
in Under Two Weeks

No technical knowledge needed on your side. We do the build, you keep working. Here's exactly what happens.

01

Strategy Call

We talk through your setup, how many calls you're typically on per day, and how many you reckon you're missing. No pitch deck — just a straight conversation about whether this fits your business.

02

Setup & Wording

We agree the exact SMS wording in your voice and hook into your phone number. You sign off everything before it goes live — nothing fires until you're happy with it.

03

Go Live & Test

We test the system end-to-end with your real number, run a few dry-run missed calls, then flip it on. From this moment, every missed call is texted back automatically.

04

Monitor & Improve

We monitor the system and handle everything that needs handling. You stay on the roof — we make sure no lead slips through without a reply.

Why AK Automations

Built for UK Roofers.
Nobody Else.

Most automation agencies build for SaaS startups and ad agencies. We build for roofing companies — owners on the tools, with one phone, who can't afford to miss a call worth thousands.

One Job, Done Properly

We don't sell you a 10-page automation strategy. We sell you one thing: a missed-call SMS system that wins back every call you miss. Set up properly, no fluff, no ongoing faff.

Roofers First, Always

We work exclusively with UK roofing companies. We know how roofers book work, how homeowners behave after a storm, and how to handle the compliance side — fully GDPR and ICO compliant on every SMS sent.

No Long Contracts

Month-to-month after the initial setup period. No 12-month lock-ins, no cancellation fees. Built on visible, industry-standard tools — Twilio, n8n, Google — so there are no black boxes.

Talk to a Human, Not a Ticket Queue

Based in Scotland, working with UK roofers. Message the owner directly — no call centres, no account managers, just fast support from the person who built your system.

The maths
£400–700 Average roofing job value
3–5 Calls missed per week on a busy site
Just 1 Job recovered and it's already paid for itself multiple times over
Founding Client Programme

Be One of Our First
Three Roofing Clients.

We're choosy about who we work with at launch — and you should be choosy too. Founding clients get reduced fees, direct access to the owner, and results we both stand behind.

Reduced Setup & Monthly Fees

Founding clients get a significant discount on setup and the monthly fee in exchange for a documented case study after 60 days. You agree what we publish before anything goes live — full editorial control.

Direct Access to the Owner

You'll work with the person who builds the system, not an account manager who passes notes. WhatsApp him directly with anything that needs sorting — no support queues, no scripts.

Tracked Jobs Won

We agree the metrics before we start — calls handled, replies received, jobs booked from missed calls. If the numbers aren't there after the first 60 days, we keep working until they are.

Apply for a Founding Client Place

Three places available. The strategy call is free — we'll tell you straight if we're a good fit.

Investment

Your Quote Is Built
Around Your Business.

Every roofing company gets a different volume of calls. We don't publish fixed prices because a one-size quote never fits — your investment is scoped and confirmed in writing before any work starts.

24/7 System runs around the clock — every missed call covered, nights, weekends, and storm days
1 – 2 weeks Typical setup time from signed quote to system live on your number
Free to start Strategy call — no cost, no obligation, no hard sell

Every engagement starts with a strategy call. If we're a good fit, you get a written quote covering a one-off setup and a small monthly fee for SMS volume and ongoing support. No long contracts, no lock-in. You decide whether to go ahead — there's no pressure either way.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your call.

No. We forward your existing number through our system so it works exactly the same for you and your customers — calls still ring your phone, but missed calls now trigger an automatic SMS back to the caller. Nothing changes on the customer's end.

We write it in your voice, with your business name, before anything goes live. A typical first reply is short and friendly — something like "Hi, this is [your name] from [business]. Sorry I missed you — I'm on a job. What did you need a hand with, and what area are you in?" You sign off the exact wording before launch.

Yes. We integrate with Jobber, ServiceM8, Housecall Pro, Tradify, Commusoft, and most other trades CRMs. New leads flow into your existing pipeline so nothing changes about how you actually run the business. If you don't use a CRM, we can feed leads straight to your phone by SMS or email.

Yes. The customer rang you first, so replying by SMS is responding to their enquiry — not unsolicited marketing. We follow ICO guidance and UK GDPR throughout. Every message includes a clear opt-out and the system stops immediately if the customer asks not to be contacted.

It's actually built for you. The bigger an outfit gets, the more likely they have office staff catching calls. If it's just you and a van, you're the one missing the most — which makes the SMS agent more valuable, not less. Most of our founding clients are small roofing businesses.
