What it does
The two things
that cost you most.
Inbound

Every call.
Answered.

  • Answered in under 1 second. 24/7. No voicemail. Ever.
  • Knows your services, your area, your rates.
  • Books the job straight into your calendar.
  • Texts you instantly — name, address, job type.
  • Sounds like your business. Not a call centre.
Outbound

Your service book.
Full.

  • Calls your customers 6 weeks before their annual is due.
  • Books them back in. No chasing from you.
  • Follows up on missed quotes automatically.
  • Post-job check-in calls that generate Google reviews.
  • Your pipeline fills while you're under a boiler.
Your monthly report

You'll see
how much
it earns.

Every month. Plain numbers. Calls answered. Jobs booked. Services rebooked. No jargon. No small print.

One extra gas job pays for three months. Most engineers see that in week one.

£97/month in. £3,840 captured.
That's why nobody cancels.

The numbers
62%
of calls to UK trade businesses go unanswered
Nearly 2 in 3 missed. 85% of those callers never ring back — they call the next engineer on the list instead.
£24k
average annual revenue lost to missed calls
UK home service industry data. For gas engineers with higher-value emergency and installation work, the real figure is often significantly more.
78%
of customers choose whoever responds first
Not the cheapest. Not the best reviewed. The fastest. Answer in under a second and the job is yours before your competitor sees the missed call.
The real cost
Why gas engineers
lose jobs every day.

Under a boiler

Can't answer. Customer rings twice. Rings off. Calls the next engineer on Google. That job and that customer — gone. For good.

Annual services slip

200 service customers. No reminders going out. Half rebook with someone else. That's your most reliable income. Gone quietly.

Flat out in winter.
Quiet in summer.

November to February — the phone doesn't stop. Too many calls, not enough hands. The ones you miss don't wait. They book someone else. Those lost winter calls become your empty summer calendar.

FAQ
Questions you'll
probably ask.

The voice is natural, warm, and professionally spoken. It handles pauses, interruptions, and complex questions just like a human. Most callers don't notice — they just get great service, fast.

Urgent or complex calls are transferred live to your mobile. You set the rules — emergencies, gas smells, no hot water. You're always in control of what gets escalated and when.

No. Your customers keep calling the same number. You set up call forwarding to your FirstPickUp line. Takes 2 minutes.

You provide your customer list with service due dates. Six weeks before each annual is due, FirstPickUp calls them, reminds them, and books them back in. Your service book fills itself. No chasing from you.

Cancel anytime. No contracts, no exit fees, no hassle. The service should earn your business every month.

Within 1 working day of paying your setup fee, your call handler will be live and answering calls.

No. Your monthly fee covers everything — unlimited inbound calls, outbound service reminders, SMS notifications, calendar booking, and your monthly report.

One gas job booked by FirstPickUp covers it. That's all it takes. The calls that were going to voicemail are now being booked as revenue. The service reminders that weren't being sent are now filling your calendar. After that, it's pure profit. And the first month after setup is free.

You set all the rules. Any call flagged as urgent — no hot water, gas smell, breakdown — gets handled with priority language and can be transferred live to your mobile. You stay in control.

Right now, yes. FirstPickUp is built exclusively for Gas Safe registered engineers operating in the North East UK — DL, TS, NE, SR, DH, and YO postcodes. We know the area, the demand patterns, and the winters.
