Checks the area before anything else
The postcode is measured against the coverage your pages publish, so an out-of-area enquiry is turned down honestly instead of costing a call-back.
Adoomi answers what homeowners ask first: whether you cover their postcode, your published call-out charge, whether blocked drains and bathroom fits are work you take, and what your emergency terms say. It answers around the clock, in whatever language the customer types, checking the postcode against your published area. Prices, the cause of a leak and how soon someone is needed go to the person you name; for a gas smell or water near electrics, your published emergency wording goes out first.

Fig. 02.A · pain quotesPlumbing enquiries land at the worst possible moment with the least possible information. 'Bathroom's flooding, can you come now' with no address on it. 'How much to move a basin' with nothing about the pipework behind the wall. 'Do you unblock drains' from three towns outside the patch. Answering any of them means ringing back to ask the same short list of questions, usually from under someone else's sink — and a good share of those call-backs turn out to be jobs you were never going to take.
The postcode is measured against the coverage your pages publish, so an out-of-area enquiry is turned down honestly instead of costing a call-back.
A drip, an overflow or a stain spreading across a ceiling is recorded as the customer described it — never named as a fault, never priced from the description.
A smell of gas, or water anywhere near electrics, ends the conversation, reads back the emergency number your pages publish and reaches whoever is on call.
Coverage, call-out charges, what an emergency visit includes, whether you fit bathrooms as well as fix leaks — answered from the pages you already keep up to date, in whatever language the customer types. Prices, the cause of a leak and the question of whose drain it is are deliberately held back and handed to you, along with commercial enquiries and anything that crosses into gas or heating work.
Adoomi asks what your office would ask, in the order that matters. The postcode first, checked against the area your pages publish. Then what has actually happened — a slow drip under the sink, a toilet that will not stop filling, a stain spreading across a ceiling. Then whether the supply is off at the stopcock, if that is what your pages tell people to do. Then access, parking and the best time to call. Someone outside the patch is told so honestly rather than costing you a call-back.
With Adoomi
Fig. 06.A · after-hoursEvenings and weekends are when ceilings start dripping and nobody is at a desk. Adoomi keeps answering from your published pages — coverage, call-out policy, emergency terms — and where a message sounds dangerous it reads back the instructions you publish: 999 for any risk of fire or of water reaching electrics, and 0800 111 999, the National Gas Emergency line, for a smell of gas. Then the enquiry moves to WhatsApp carrying the customer's own words, with an email alert to whoever you named.
Do you cover my postcode. Is there a call-out charge. Do you fit bathrooms as well as fix leaks. Can you come out at a weekend. Is a blocked drain yours to sort or the water company's. Every one of those is already written on your site, and Adoomi repeats it exactly as you wrote it — overnight, Sunday teatime, in the language the customer typed. What still needs you is the part that needs eyes on the pipework: pricing a job, judging a repair, deciding whose drain it actually is.
Fig. 08.A · controlsAdoomi will not put a figure on a bathroom, a re-pipe or a call-out nobody has looked at, and it will not tell a customer what is leaking or whether a shared drain is yours or the water company's. Both go to you with everything it took. Gas work stops the conversation and becomes a handover. Nothing goes into a diary, because it cannot see yours. Conversations are EU-hosted, with GDPR export and deletion and no message content in logs — and none of this makes a firm compliant with anything.
Areas covered, call-out policy and what a job includes come only from pages you approved. Anything outside them is a handover, not an improvised answer.
Scope, access notes and urgency are captured so a real price can be given in front of the work. Nothing is estimated in chat to keep a conversation moving.
A leak or a blockage is recorded in the customer's words and passed on. Whether a shared drain is yours or the water company's is a person's call, not the assistant's.
A smell of gas, or water reaching electrics, ends the chat, reads back the emergency number your pages publish and goes to whoever you put on call.
Nothing reaches a customer until you have read it, and you can block any of it. Conversation data stays on EU servers, exportable or deletable, with no message text in logs.
Prices are never given for work nobody has seen. Adoomi repeats what your pages publish about call-out charges and services, then captures the job, the postcode and the access notes so a visit can produce a real figure.
Emergencies are handed over rather than handled. The conversation stops, the instructions your pages publish are read back — 999 where water is reaching electrics — and the enquiry reaches whoever you named: WhatsApp with the customer's own words, plus an email alert. In a one-van firm that is your own phone.
Causes are never named in a chat window. A drip, a stain or a smell reaches you written down exactly as the customer typed it. Nothing is identified as the source, nothing is ruled out, and nothing is declared safe to leave until morning.
Gas is a hard handover. Anything with gas in it stops in chat and goes to a person, with the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 read back where your pages publish it. Gas Safe registration is mentioned only if you hold it and switch it on.
Photo uploads are not accepted in the chat window at all. Photos reach the team only if the customer sends them after the WhatsApp handoff — which is also where someone who would rather type to a person carries on, question and details attached.
Cost starts at nothing: the Free plan is £0 with 50 message credits a month, and £8, £20 and £75 buy 200, 500 and 4,000. Set-up runs to ~10 min. Conversations are EU-hosted, exportable and deletable under GDPR.
A plumbing enquiry is either something your website already answers or something that needs a person in front of the pipework. Adoomi sorts the two at the front door and is straight about which is which: the published half given back as written, the rest captured properly and handed on in the customer's own words. There is no pricing engine behind the chat window and no fault-finder — what it knows is what you published. That is how it is built, not a result promised on your behalf.
Whether you cover a postcode, what a call-out costs and what a job takes in are read back off your own plumbing pages — midnight, Sunday morning, any language the message arrives in.
Scope, access notes and urgency are captured so a plumber can price it standing in front of the work. Nothing is guessed at from a description.
A smell of gas, water near electrics or a main that has burst leaves chat at once: your instructions read back, WhatsApp handoff, email alert to whoever you named.
From the guides library
Connect the pages that already list your services, your area and your call-out policy. Name the person a burst pipe or a smell of gas should reach, and set the WhatsApp number and the email address a handover lands on. Then put your worst midnight message to it yourself and change anything you would not have said. Connecting the site, reading the answers and adding one line to your website runs to ~10 min, and the Free plan is £0 with 50 message credits before a card comes into it.
