Calls answered.
Jobs booked.
Zero fuss.

The next good job should not disappear into voicemail because you are on the tools, behind the wheel or already with a customer. Zero Fuss gives every suitable caller a proper answer, captures the job and follows your rules for booking, pricing, callbacks and escalation. Your receptionist number. Your rules. Your systems.

Trial 10 free calls - Setup in 5 minutes - No credit card required

Watch one call become a booked job.

A customer with a running toilet in Brighton

More than a friendly hello. The call moves forward.

Zero Fuss answers in your business name, works out what the caller needs and takes the next action you have approved. The caller gets an answer. Your team gets a result.

01

Suitable callers get a real next step

Zero Fuss captures the job, checks your service and location rules, then books, gives an approved price, creates a callback or follows your escalation path.

02

Time-wasters stop at the front desk

Obvious spam, unsolicited sales and telemarketers are screened without using a call credit. Poor-fit enquiries receive a clear answer without interrupting your team.

03

Nothing disappears after the call

Every conversation ends with a clear outcome and follow-up state. If a booking, transfer or connected service fails, your team can see exactly what still needs attention.

Add a receptionist without replacing the tools that run your business.

We provide the receptionist number. Publish it directly, forward your existing number or route selected calls to it. Zero Fuss works the same wherever you place it, while your calendar and job system remain the source of truth.

No card. No automatic billing.

  1. Create your account

  2. Review the details we find

    We import from your website or supported job system. Check your services, prices, service durations and areas, then fill any gaps.

  3. Choose how to handle calls

    Choose enquiry capture or a supported connection, plus your urgent-call preferences. Hours and booking buffers stay in your connected system.

  4. Get your receptionist number

    We activate your number when setup succeeds, starting your 10-call, 14-day trial. You choose when to publish it or forward customer calls.

Your connected system stays the source of truth. If a handoff fails, it remains visible for follow-up.

The voice gets attention.
The safeguards earn trust.

A fluent conversation is worthless if it invents a price, double-books a calendar or hides a failed handoff. The product is the control around the conversation.

01

Checks before it commits

Demo availability is re-checked before a booking is created, reducing the risk that two callers are promised the same slot.

02

Prices come from rules

The receptionist can repeat only a configured demo price. If the job is custom or unclear, it stops and creates a callback.

03

It confirms the details that matter

Names, phone numbers, addresses, dates, times and prices are repeated back before the workflow moves on.

04

Failure stays visible

If a booking or transfer cannot be confirmed, the caller hears the fallback. The agent never fills the gap with a made-up success.

Know what worked this week. Decide what improves next.

Zero Fuss turns structured call outcomes into one practical weekly review: what it handled, where callers still needed your team and which approved change could remove repeated friction.

01

See the useful outcomes

Booked value, confirmed jobs, screened time-wasters and open follow-ups in plain English.

02

Find repeat gaps

See where missing answers, rules or broken handoffs keep sending otherwise suitable calls back to your team.

Choose the next improvement

Review a practical recommendation built from real call patterns, then decide whether it belongs in your setup.

Built around calls where the details change the next step.

Zero Fuss specialises in plumbing, electrical and HVAC, and supports businesses across every trade. Configure your services, safety rules and escalation paths to match how your business works.

01

Plumbing & gas

Separate a routine leaking tap from uncontrolled water, check the service area and offer only an approved next step.

Try: “My kitchen tap won't stop dripping.”
02

Electrical

Capture the fault, distinguish a routine booking from an exposed-live-wire concern and follow configured escalation instructions.

Try: “One power point has stopped working.”
03

Heating & cooling

Clarify the system and scope, gather site details and route quote requests that need human assessment.

Try: “I need my split system serviced.”

Review setup and testing before you start

How Zero Fuss works in your business.

Use your receptionist number where it suits you, and decide what it may book, price or escalate.

How long does setup take, and what do I have to do?

Initial setup takes less than 5 minutes for a straightforward business. Create your account, add your website or connect a supported system, then review the business details we find. Check services, prices, service durations and areas, and choose your call-handling preferences. Hours and booking buffers stay in your connected system. Allow extra time for test calls, connection troubleshooting or unusual rules. Ask Liam for help if your setup needs it.

Can I test before customers call?

Yes. Founder-assisted onboarding includes two private test calls from an approved number, outside your 10-call trial allowance. Try a normal enquiry, corrected details, unsupported work or an urgent request. If you want more tests, contact Liam before completing setup to agree extra private testing and its timing. Completing self-serve setup activates your number and starts the trial clock; you still choose when to publish it or forward customer calls.

What happens when Zero Fuss answers a call?

It answers in your business name as an automated receptionist, asks the practical questions your team needs answered and separates genuine enquiries from time-wasters. It then takes the next step you have approved, such as booking the job, giving a configured price, transferring the call or creating a complete callback request.

What happens to telemarketers and time-wasters?

Zero Fuss answers them so you do not have to. It identifies obvious spam, unsolicited sales and telemarketing, ends the call politely and records what was screened. Correctly screened calls use no call credit. Poor-fit enquiries, such as out-of-area work or services you do not offer, receive a clear answer without interrupting your day.

Do I need to change my business number?

No. We provide a Zero Fuss receptionist number. Publish it directly, forward your existing number to it or route selected calls there whenever you choose.

Do I have to hand over every call?

No. Use your Zero Fuss number wherever it suits your business, whether as your main line, for selected calls or at particular times. Zero Fuss does not require a particular call-routing setup.

Will Zero Fuss change what it says or does on its own?

No. Your Weekly Receptionist Review shows what was handled, where calls repeatedly needed your team and which business rule may be worth adding. Recommendations arrive as drafts for you to review, edit and publish. Prices, booking authority, service areas, safety and escalation rules never change silently.

What job details does it collect?

It can capture the caller's name and callback number, full job address, the problem in their own words, urgency, safety details, access information and preferred times. Service-specific questions are configured for your business, and critical details are confirmed before the call moves forward.

Can it book into my calendar?

Yes. Connect Google Calendar or Microsoft 365. Zero Fuss checks live availability before offering a time, re-checks the slot before booking and never reports a booking as complete unless the calendar confirms it.

Can it give customers a price?

Only when you have approved a pricing rule for that exact kind of job. The AI does not calculate, negotiate or invent a price. Custom work becomes a callback or quote-visit path.

What if a caller needs a person or the job is urgent?

Zero Fuss stops the routine flow and follows your escalation setup. It can attempt a live transfer, create an urgent callback or capture a complete message. If nobody is available, it tells the caller clearly and uses the fallback you selected instead of pretending the transfer worked.

Does it replace my CRM or job-management system?

No. Zero Fuss handles the gap between the ringing phone and the next action. Your existing calendar or job system remains the source of truth, and the structured call outcome goes into the connected tools your team already uses.

Does it work with ServiceM8 or Fergus?

Connect ServiceM8 or Fergus to pass customer, site and job details to the system your team already uses. Fergus creates a job request with the caller's preferred timing for your team to confirm. An appointment is only reported as booked when the supported connection confirms it. If a handoff fails, Zero Fuss keeps it visible for follow-up.

What does a legitimate call mean?

A legitimate call is a genuine business-related conversation that Zero Fuss handles for at least 10 seconds. That includes new customers, existing customers, suppliers and business partners, even when the outcome is a callback, transfer or polite decline rather than a booking. Your two private onboarding tests, failed connections, calls shorter than 10 seconds, correctly screened spam, unsolicited sales and telemarketers do not count.

How does the free trial work?

Your number activates when business setup and number provisioning succeed, starting your first 10 legitimate calls free for up to 14 days. There is no separate activation request. If you want the two included private onboarding tests or need extra testing, arrange this with Liam before completing setup. The included private tests do not use the trial allowance. No credit card is required and billing starts only if you choose a plan.

What happens if I use my monthly call allowance?

There is no open-ended per-minute overage. We alert you at 75%, 90% and 100%, then you can add 25 calls for $39, 60 for $79 or 120 for $139. Prepaid calls last 90 days and are used after your monthly allowance. An active call always finishes, and without a top-up, later calls follow the fallback you selected.

How much will it cost?

Your first 10 legitimate handled calls are free for up to 14 days. After the trial, plans start at $79 per month for 50 calls. Every plan includes the complete receptionist, booking workflows, integrations and safeguards. Extra calls use the published prepaid packs, not an open-ended per-minute rate.

A real call beats a feature list.

Try to trip it up.

Ask a routine question. Change your address. Request work outside its rules. Hear whether the receptionist stays useful, finds the right next step and knows when to stop.
