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
Sign up and get your number
Two minutes. You get a LocalWins number in your business name and a taster line to try straight away, no card.
- 2
Divert your missed calls
Dial one code on your phone and calls you do not answer go to your LocalWins number. You keep your number and your phone.

Every missed call texted back
Within seconds the caller gets a text in your name asking what they need and where. You get the summary and ring back the right one first.
It does not just text back. It finds out the job, and books it if you want.
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. Tom will ring you back this evening to arrange a visit and a quote.
Job, stage and start date captured. Tom rang back with the diary open.
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 morning and put the ones in your trade on your phone.
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 morning
Planning applications, new developments and newly formed companies within reach of your postcode, filtered to your trade, on your phone before anyone has asked for a quote. Nothing sold to anyone else.
What it costs
Growth, £99 a month
Every missed call texted back in seconds in your name, the job and postcode captured and sent to your phone, jobs and appointments booked into your diary when you give us your booking details, every caller saved to your own list, reminders when work is due again, Google reviews asked for after each job, and the planning applications near you every morning. Free for 30 days, no setup fee.
Growth+, £199 a month
Everything in Growth, plus a website we build, host and look after for you. Free for 30 days, no setup fee.
It never quotes, never promises a start date, and anything it cannot answer comes to you. You read every conversation and can take any of them over.
Questions builders ask us
Where do the planning applications come from?
From the public planning registers, read every morning 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. We give you a second number and you divert missed calls to it with a code you dial once, so the only calls that reach us are the ones you did not answer.
Will customers know it is not me texting?
The text comes from a number in your business name and reads like you wrote it. It asks what the job is and where, tells them you will ring back, and never quotes a price or promises a visit unless you have told it to. You can read every conversation and take over any of them from your phone.
Can it book the job in for me?
Yes, if you want it to. Give us your booking link or your diary details and it offers the caller a slot and books the job or appointment in, with the details on your phone. Without them it captures the job and tells the caller you will ring back.
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.
What does it cost?
Free for 30 days, then £99 a month for Growth, or £199 a month for Growth+ which adds a website we build and look after. No setup fee, nothing per lead, cancel any time before day 30 and you pay nothing.
