Damp-link recognition
Damp patches connected to guttering get flagged for a proper look rather than dismissed as a separate issue.
The AI receptionist that grew into the whole job.
An AI receptionist built for guttering specialists.
Water's been running down an outside wall for weeks before anyone thinks to blame the guttering - by the time the call comes in, there's often damp inside too. A storm loosens a whole run overnight and it's now hanging dangerously close to the path below. And a routine seasonal clear gets put off until it's an emergency - three calls a guttering specialist catches better with the right questions.
What it sounds like on the phone.
We've noticed a damp patch appearing on the outside wall under the gutter, it's been there a few weeks now and seems to be spreading.
That's worth getting looked at properly rather than left. Have you noticed any water actually overflowing from the guttering when it rains, or any staining running down from a particular spot?
A length of our guttering's come loose in the wind overnight, it's hanging down quite low near where people walk.
Thanks for flagging that quickly, that's worth prioritising given where it's hanging. Roughly how long is the section that's come away, and is it still attached at either end?

What it actually does for this trade.
Storm damage triage
Loose or hanging sections, especially near a path or entrance, get treated as a safety priority.
Access questions asked early
Storey height and ladder access get noted before the visit, so the right equipment is planned for.
Preventative clearance offered
Regular clearance is mentioned as an option, so callers ringing about a one-off problem hear about the fix that stops it recurring.
Frequently asked questions.
Will it tell me if my damp patch is definitely caused by the guttering?
No. It notes what you've seen - where the damp is, whether there's visible overflow - and passes that to the specialist, who confirms the actual cause on a visit.
Can it get someone out today for a loose or hanging gutter?
It flags a hanging or dangerous section as urgent straight away. Whether that becomes a same-day visit depends on the specialist's own availability.
Does it give a price for gutter repair or replacement over the phone?
No. Pricing depends on the length, material and extent of the damage, so a figure is only given after a survey visit.
