Roller in hand, quote request missed
Someone wants three rooms done before Christmas and rings while you are cutting in. It rings out. They ring the next decorator, and that is your December gone. LocalWins texts them back in seconds in your business name, finds out the rooms and the postcode, and sends it to you.

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.

What it actually fixes
Quotes ring in working hours
People ring decorators from work, on their lunch break, while you are up a ladder. The one who texts back in seconds gets the visit.
Autumn fills up in a fortnight
Everyone wants it done before Christmas and they all ring in October. Every caller is saved with what they want, so you can fill January from the ones you could not fit in.
Exterior work is seasonal
Mark an exterior job as won and the reminder for the next one goes out from your number when it is due, years later if that is the cycle.
Reviews after every job
After each job we ask the customer for a Google review from your number, so the profile fills up with the work you are proud of. Every caller stays on your own list for the next quiet month.
What is a missed callactually costing you?
Decorator prices in 2026: A room £350 to £1,000, hall and stairs £1,450+, exteriors £1,100+.

Questions painters and decorators ask us
I work alone. Is this overkill?
It was built for sole traders. There is nothing to manage: the text goes out, the summary lands on your phone, and you ring back when you put the brush down. Most of our customers are one person and a van.
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.
