An AI answering service for cleaning companies

Your day is spent in other people's homes and offices, often with a hoover running and your phone in the van. Ringzel's AI answering service takes those calls in your company name and gets each quote or booking enquiry to you with the address, the type of clean and the dates already noted.

Why calls get missed

The phone rings most while you're cleaning

Cleaning enquiries rarely wait for a convenient moment. A landlord needs an end of tenancy clean before Friday. A family wants a fortnightly clean starting next week. An office manager wants a quote for evening cleaning across two floors.

If you're mid-clean and the call goes to voicemail, the customer often moves on to the next company on their list. Your receptionist answers while you and your team work, so enquiries don't slip away.

How a call runs

What your receptionist finds out

It answers in your company name and tells the caller it's automated.

  1. Call comes in
  2. Answered in your name
  3. Your questions
  4. Your rules
  5. Summary to you
  1. 01

    The type of clean.

    Regular domestic cleaning, a one-off deep clean, end of tenancy, after builders, or commercial and office cleaning.

  2. 02

    The details you need to quote.

    Number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the size of the office, how often they want cleaning, whether there are pets and when they need it done. You set the questions.

  3. 03

    What you've told it.

    Your service area, whether you bring your own equipment and products, and your standard prices if you've given them.

  4. 04

    Changes from existing customers.

    If a regular customer rings to move a clean or ask about their next visit, it takes the message and flags it for you.

  5. 05

    Straight answers only.

    If a question is beyond what it knows, it says so, takes a message with a good time to call back and flags it for you.

After every call

Everything you need to send a quote

After each call, you get the recording, the transcript, a summary and a check report. That's included on every plan.

The summary gives you the quote essentials: the property, the type of clean, the size, how often and when. The check report checks those details were captured properly, so you're not ringing people back to ask the same questions again.

Example call scenario

Example call scenario. This is an illustration, not a recording of a real call.

A letting agent rings at 2.20pm on a Wednesday. A tenant has moved out of a three-bedroom house and the new tenants arrive on Saturday.

Your receptionist answers in your company name and says it's automated. It takes the address, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether the oven and carpets need doing, and the Saturday deadline. It asks who will let the cleaners in and the best number to reach the agent on. Because the job is time-sensitive, it notes the deadline clearly at the top.

You get the summary with the property, the scope and the deadline, plus the recording and check report, so you can price it and confirm before the day is out.

  • It takes the details you need to quote
  • It only gives prices you've given it
  • It takes change requests and flags them for you
  • It asks your questions for each type of clean

Website chat

Quote requests from your website

Cleaning enquiries often arrive in writing, from someone looking round their own home or office and wondering what it would cost. Your bespoke AI chat widget talks to them for you, so nobody has to sit behind a live chat window.

A small business owner on your website asks whether you clean dental surgeries and small offices after hours, and how often you'd suggest. The chat answers from what you've told it about your services, finds out the size of the premises and the days they'd want, and captures the enquiry. The transcript and a summary are waiting in your Ringzel account, ready for you to call them back or, where available, contact them on WhatsApp.

Professional and Premium

Cleans booked in, on Professional and Premium

On the Professional and Premium plans, your receptionist can do more than take a message.

  • Book cleans and quote visits.
    It can book customers into the slots you make available, whether that's a first clean or a visit to price a commercial job.
  • Transfer calls.
    When a customer needs to speak to someone straight away, it can put them through.
  • Route calls to the right person.
    Domestic enquiries to whoever runs the rota, commercial contract enquiries to whoever handles them.

On Basic, your receptionist takes the details and passes them to you to arrange yourself.

Questions

Questions cleaning companies ask

Is there an answering service for cleaners?

Yes. Ringzel is an AI answering service that answers your calls in your company name when you're busy, takes down what the customer needs and gets it to you.

Can it give a price for a clean?

Only prices you've given it, such as your hourly rate or a fixed price for a standard clean. Anything else, it takes the details so you can quote properly.

Can it book regular cleans?

Yes, on the Professional and Premium plans. It books customers into the slots you make available. On Basic, it takes the details so you can book them yourself.

Does it work for commercial cleaning as well as domestic?

Yes. It asks the questions you set for each type of work, such as the size of the premises and the days needed, and can route commercial enquiries to the right person on Professional and Premium.

Can existing customers use it to move a clean?

They can call and ask. It takes the request and flags it for you to arrange. It doesn't move or cancel existing bookings itself.

Can I keep my number?

Yes. Nothing changes for your customers. Calls you can't take are diverted to your receptionist, whether the line's engaged, unanswered or you've closed for the day.

How much does it cost?

From £99 a month with unlimited calls. Professional, which adds bookings, transfers and team routing, is £179 a month. Every plan has a 14-day free trial with no card to start.
