For builders

A twenty thousand pound extension rings you once, at ten past two

You are mixing, or on the scaffold, or talking to the sparky. It goes to voicemail and they ring the next builder on the list. LocalWins texts them back in seconds in your business name, finds out what they want doing and where, and sends it to you.

How it works

  1. 1

    Sign up and try the demo

    Enter your business details and ring our shared demo line to hear the text-back in your business name.

  2. 2

    Go live

    Pay for your first month and we set up your own LocalWins number the same day. Dial one code to divert missed calls and keep using your phone.

  3. 3

    Missed mobile callers texted back

    Within seconds a mobile caller gets a text in your name asking what they need. You get the conversation and details on your phone for follow-up.

It does not just text back.It captures the enquiry and can book when your calendar is connected.

LocalWins asks what the caller needs and sends the job enquiry to your team. Once we have connected your booking calendar and set your rules, it can offer available slots and confirm a booking. Until then it can share your online booking link if you have one.

Hi, this is Redwood Building. Sorry we missed your call, we are on site. What are you looking to have done?

Single storey rear extension, kitchen diner, we've got drawings

Great. Do you have planning approval yet, and roughly when are you hoping to start? And the postcode?

Approved last month, ideally spring. GU14 6PL

Thanks. I've passed the project details and postcode to Redwood Building for follow-up.

Example: the enquiry reaches the business for follow-up.

What it actually fixes

The big jobs ring in working hours

Homeowners ring builders on their lunch break. You are working. The one who answers, or texts back in seconds, gets the site visit.

Planning applications you never saw

Every extension near you was a planning application weeks before anyone rang a builder. We read them every week and put the ones in your trade on your dashboard, with the best in your Monday email.

Enquiries lost in a full inbox

Every caller is saved to your own list with what they want and when, so the spring extension that rang in October is still there when you have a gap.

Work near you, every week

Planning applications and new housing schemes within reach of your postcode, filtered to your trade, on your dashboard before anyone has asked for a quote, with the best in your Monday email. Nothing sold to anyone else.

Questions builders ask us

Where do the planning applications come from?

From the public planning registers, read a few times a week and matched to your trade and distance. You see the address, what is proposed and when it went in, and you can mark each one as contacted, won or not for you.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You keep your number and your phone. When you go live, we set up a second number. You divert missed calls to it with a code you dial once.

Will customers know it is not me texting?

The text comes from a number in your business name. It asks what the job is and where, then sends you the details to follow up. It only uses prices or booking details you have provided. You can read every conversation and take over any of them from your phone.

Can it book the job in for me?

Yes, once we connect your booking calendar and set the services, availability and approval rules. LocalWins can then offer available slots and confirm bookings. Until setup is complete, it captures the job for you or shares your online booking link.

What about callers on a landline who cannot get a text?

Most callers ring from a mobile and get the text. A landline or withheld caller cannot, so you get an alert with the number to ring back, and if you want, an AI receptionist can answer those callers and take the details instead. Ask us to switch it on.
