The call you can't take. Answered. Job booked.
Corelo is an AI receptionist for UK trades. It answers the calls you miss, takes the job details, and books them straight into your diary — for one price a month, however many calls come in.

Who it's for
Corelo answers the phone when you can't. Under a sink, up a ladder, driving, already on a call: it still gets answered, and the job still gets booked.
If any of this sounds like your week, it will pay for itself.
- 01
62% of enquiries to UK plumbers go unanswered — and 62% of callers never leave a voicemail. They ring the next number on Google.
- 02
You ring people back in the evening, off the tools, hours after they rang round your competitors.
- 03
78% of customers buy from whoever answers first. A missed call is rarely a delayed job; it is usually somebody else's job.
- 04
Taking on more work means answering more phone, and there is only one of you.
One call you miss. One conversation. One job in the diary.
A worked example. Your phone rings, you're under a sink, and after a few rings the call forwards to Corelo.
Stage one
It answers in your name
Your business's name, your hours, your prices. It says up front that it's an AI, because a customer who works that out for themselves stops trusting the call.
Stage two
It takes the job
What's wrong, where, and when suits. It reads your real diary and offers times that are genuinely free — and long enough for that particular job, not a generic half hour.
Stage three
It's in your calendar
You get a text with the job and the time: approve or decline with one tap, from the van. Or let it book automatically. Either way your customer gets a text confirming.
Two callers can never take the same slot — it's held the instant it's asked for. And anything it can't handle goes to a person, never to a dead line.
Nothing about how you work has to change.
- Your existing number
- Google Calendar
- Text messages
Corelo needs a number to answer on and a diary to write into. You keep your number, you keep your calendar, and you keep working the way you do. On a job-management system instead? Tell us which one — it decides what we build next.
What it does
A receptionist, not an answering machine.
Answers every call
It picks up the moment you can't, in your business's name.
Unlimited calls on every plan. No minutes counted, no overage, no bill that punishes a busy week.
Books the job, on the call
It offers times that are genuinely free, and long enough for the work.
Reads your real diary. A ten-minute look and a full bathroom don't get offered the same slot.
You approve from your phone
A text arrives with the job and the time. One tap to approve or decline.
No dashboard, no laptop, no clean hands required. Or let it book automatically — your choice.
Takes messages, flags the urgent ones
Name, number and what they need, with anything urgent pushed to the top.
A burst pipe doesn't wait in line behind a request for a quote.
Cancels and rebooks by phone
A customer can move their own appointment without you being involved at all.
Recognised by the number they're ringing from, and your diary updates itself.
Built for trades, not for offices.
Plumbers, electricians, builders, garages. The whole thing is designed around somebody holding a tool in one hand who cannot get to a screen — which is why approving a booking is a text message and not a login.
How we are different
What goes wrong with answering services, and what we do instead.
“The answering service takes a message. I still have to ring everyone back.”
Corelo books the job while the customer is still on the phone. There's no callback list, because there's nothing left to call back about.
“They bill me per minute, so my busiest month costs me most.”
One price a month, unlimited calls, no minutes counted. A busy week costs you nothing extra — which is rather the point, because a busy week is what you bought it for.
“It'll double-book me and I'll turn up to an empty house.”
It can't. The slot is held the instant a caller asks for it, and an overlapping booking is refused outright — not flagged, not warned about. Refused.
“I can't find out the price without sitting through a sales call.”
Every price is on this page — including the one thing the cheapest plan doesn't do.
It never leaves your customer
on a dead line.
If the diary is unreachable, the network drops, or something of ours breaks, the call still goes to a person. Corelo never hangs up on your customer, never leaves dead air, and never reads an error message out loud.
Simple pricing
One price a month.

A human answering service meters you — alldayPA publish £210 a month for 150 minutes. Corelo doesn't count minutes, and no answering service of either kind writes the job into your diary.
What are the ones you miss costing you?
A trade taking around twenty enquiries a week misses five to eight of them.
The UK trade average is about £350. Use your own number.
Assumes one in ten answered calls turns into a booked job — the conservative end of the published research, not the optimistic one.
An estimate, not a quote. It assumes one in ten answered calls becomes a job — the conservative end of the published research — and costs Corelo at the monthly price rather than the cheaper annual one.

We show you it answering, and you throw whatever you like at it. No cost, no obligation.

Every call you don't get to, from then on. You get the recording, the transcript and a summary of each one.
- 06
We stay close
We go through the first few weeks with you and change the wording wherever a real call showed it needed changing.
Your number and your diary were always yours, and they stay that way throughout.
Contact
Hear it answer your phone.
Fifteen minutes and you'll know. We'll show you it taking a real booking, you can try your best to catch it out, and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it at your volume. No cost, no obligation.
