24/7 AI reception for UK business

Never miss a call. Even when you can't pick up.

Frontmate answers your phone the moment it rings — day, night and weekends. It books the appointment, captures the lead, and emails you the details. The calls you're missing are the ones going to the next company on the list.

Answered on the first ring. Every time.

No voicemail, no hold music, no "we'll call you back." Frontmate picks up the moment the phone rings — however many people call at once — and handles the whole conversation like your best receptionist would.

What Frontmate does

It answers, it acts, it hands you the details.

Not a phone tree. A natural conversation that gets something done on every call — then tells you exactly what happened.

01 · ANSWERS

Picks up instantly

Every call, day or night — after hours, weekends, and when you're already on another line. No hold music, no voicemail, no lost customer.

02 · ACTS

Gets it done on the call

Books the appointment, takes the order, qualifies the lead and flags the urgent ones — all while the caller is still on the line.

03 · SYNCS

Sends you the summary

A clean, structured recap lands in your inbox or CRM after every call. Nothing to type up, nothing lost, nothing forgotten.

Hear it for yourself

This is Frontmate, taking a real call.

A late-night emergency, handled start to finish — no hold music, no voicemail, no lost customer. Press play.

Who it's for

If a missed call costs you a customer, Frontmate pays for itself.

Built for the businesses where the phone is the pipeline — where one unanswered call is a booking, a job, or a client walking to the next name on the list.

Private clinics

Dental, cosmetic & healthcare — where a booking is worth £80–£300 and after-hours calls go unanswered.

Gyms & studios

Trial sign-ups and membership enquiries that come in evenings and weekends — exactly when the desk is empty.

Insurance & brokers

Quote and claim calls where the first firm to pick up usually wins the business.

Car garages & recovery

MOT bookings, breakdowns and recovery — urgent, high-value, and often out of hours.

Home improvement

Roofers, builders, electricians & plumbers — one missed job can be worth thousands.

Property & lettings

Estate agents and lettings — viewing requests and enquiries that can't wait for Monday.

Built around your trade

One agent today. A whole team when you're ready.

Most businesses start with Frontmate answering the phone. Once it's connected to your calendar and CRM, it can take on far more.

01

Reception & bookings

The core job: answer every call, book appointments, qualify callers and never miss the phone again.

  • Answers 24/7 — nights & weekends
  • Books & confirms appointments
  • Captures lead details cleanly
  • Flags urgent calls to you
02

Outbound & follow-up

Frontmate doesn't just wait for the phone to ring. It calls out too — chasing quotes and filling the diary.

  • Appointment reminders (fewer no-shows)
  • Quote & lead chasing
  • Re-engaging old customers
  • Review requests after a job
03

Connected to your tools

Wire Frontmate into what you already use so bookings and leads land where your team works — no double entry.

  • Calendar & booking systems
  • CRM & email
  • SMS confirmations
  • Slack / Teams alerts
During the call

Frontmate doesn't just talk. It does the work.

Real actions triggered while the caller is still on the line — no one on your team lifts a finger.

Qualifies the caller

Works out what they need and collects the key details in seconds.

Books the appointment

Checks the diary and confirms a slot during the call.

Sends a confirmation

Text or email recap goes out the moment the call ends.

Updates your records

Call details and summary sync into your CRM. Zero manual entry.

Flags the urgent ones

Emergencies and big jobs get escalated to a human straight away.

Hands off with context

Transfers complex calls to you — the caller never repeats themselves.

Simple, predictable pricing

Less than a receptionist. Never off sick.

A part-time receptionist costs £25,000+ a year. Frontmate starts at a fraction of that — and for most trades, one recovered booking a month more than covers it. A roofer's single missed job is worth thousands.

How it works

From first call to live in about a week.

I handle the build and all the technical setup. You just start receiving the calls Frontmate has already handled.

Step 01

We talk

A quick call to learn how people phone you, what they ask, and where calls slip through.

Step 02

I build it

I design Frontmate's voice, script and guardrails, tuned to your services, hours and trade.

Step 03

We connect it

I hook it into your calendar, email or CRM and test it against real call scenarios with you.

Step 04

You go live

Frontmate starts answering your calls — instantly, around the clock. You review the summaries as bookings and leads roll in.

Questions

The things people ask before they trust it.

Will it actually sound human, or like a robot?
It holds a natural, back-and-forth conversation with a real voice — you heard it in the recording above. Callers can interrupt, change their mind and ask follow-ups, just like talking to a person.
Do I have to replace my receptionist?
Not at all. Most businesses start by having Frontmate cover evenings, weekends and overflow — the calls that currently go unanswered. Your team keeps handling the calls they already catch. You can expand Frontmate's role whenever you're ready.
What happens when it can't handle something?
It's built with guardrails. For anything sensitive or out of scope — a complaint, an emergency, a request for a manager — it escalates to you with the full context, so nothing important gets dropped.
How does Frontmate connect to my phone?
That's the part I handle for you. On our first call I'll walk you through the setup — it's quick, and you don't need any new hardware or technical know-how. Your customers reach you the same way they always have; Frontmate just answers.
How long does setup take?
A straightforward reception agent is usually answering calls within about a week. Deeper CRM and calendar integrations take a little longer. You'll test it against real scenarios before it ever goes live.
Can it make outbound calls too, not just answer?
Yes. Frontmate also calls out — confirming appointments, chasing quotes, requesting reviews and re-engaging old customers. That's the Workforce tier.
