Missed call text-back for electricians
You're in a loft chasing cables, the phone's in your pocket, and someone with no power upstairs is ringing round every sparky on Google. ReplyBack texts them back before they get to the next name, finds out the problem, and saves the job for you.

Faults don't wait for you to get off the ladder
Tripping fuse boards and dead sockets feel urgent to the customer even when they're not dangerous. They want to hear back fast — and an instant, friendly text does that for you while you finish the job you're actually on.
- 📵Fault callouts feel urgent to customers — they book whoever replies first
- 📵Rewire and EICR enquiries are big jobs lost over one unanswered ring
- 📵Half your missed numbers never leave a voicemail, so you can't even call back
One rewire enquiry is worth a decade of it
Run it against your own price list. A fault-find callout might be £60 to £90. An EICR is a couple of hundred. A full rewire on a three-bed is four thousand or so and fills a fortnight. Miss one rewire enquiry a year — one — and you've lost more than a decade of what ReplyBack costs. The maddening part is that you'd never know: an unanswered ring leaves no voicemail, no trace, nothing to feel bad about. Just a quieter month than it should have been.
When the phone rings out
The moments you can't get to it — every one of them a caller deciding whether you exist.
- In a loft, on your knees, chasing a cable run
- Halfway up a ladder with a socket in one hand
- Under a consumer unit with the power off and the phone in the van
- Talking one customer through a fault while another one rings
What happens if you don't reply
The person who just rang has no power in half the house. They aren't going to wait for you to call back tonight. They're back on Google inside a minute, tapping the next sparky, and the one who picks up gets the job — not the one who's better, not the one with the reviews. The one whose phone was free. A text landing before they redial is the only thing that breaks that.
Miss a call, keep the job
No new phone, no apps to learn. Here's what happens the moment you can't pick up.
A customer rings while you're working
You're in a loft with a cable in your teeth. The phone rings out in your pocket — nothing about your day changes, and you don't have to climb down.
We text them back in seconds
Seconds later they get a text from you asking what's wrong. Fuse board tripping? No power upstairs? People will tell a text what they'd never leave on a voicemail.
The job lands on your phone
Down the ladder, phone out: fuse board trips on the shower, wants a visit this week. You ring back knowing exactly what you're walking into.

Questions from electricians, answered
Most of my work comes from word of mouth — is this still worth it?+
Word-of-mouth callers are exactly the ones you don't want hitting voicemail — they were sent to you specifically. ReplyBack makes sure they get a reply from you rather than going back to their mate for another name.
Is it safe to text someone who might have a dangerous fault?+
ReplyBack asks whether anything's unsafe or without power right now — the same first question you'd ask. If it's urgent you'll see that in the summary immediately and can ring rather than text. It never tells anyone what to do with their electrics.
Half my callers don't leave a voicemail. Doesn't that mean they weren't serious?+
It means the opposite. Serious callers are in a hurry — that's precisely why they hang up and try the next number instead of talking to a machine. The people who leave voicemails are the patient ones. The ones you're losing wanted it done today.
Do I have to change my number?+
No. Your phone rings exactly as it does now — ReplyBack only steps in when you don't pick up. You hand callers a ReplyBack number (or forward missed calls to it), and we take over from there.
Is it spammy or even legal?+
It's completely above board. ReplyBack only ever texts people who called you first — it's a reply to their enquiry, not cold marketing — and every message honours STOP opt-outs, in line with UK spam and marketing rules.
How does billing work?+
Pick a plan from £29/month when you sign up. It's billed monthly via Stripe and you can cancel anytime — no long contracts.
Worth a read if you're losing calls
One recovered job usually pays for the month.
