For Cornwall Electricians

Never lose a job
because your hands were full.

You can’t answer the phone with your head in a consumer unit — and the landlord who needed an EICR this week rings the next electrician on the list. Foredesk answers for you, gets the details, and texts you the job.

Kernow.ai sets up Foredesk for Cornwall electricians: an AI front desk that answers website visitors, WhatsApp messages and missed calls from your own information, captures every enquiry and texts it to you — £499 setup, then £99 a month.

What Foredesk does for you

Calls you can’t take mid-job

Missed callers get a text back within seconds and the enquiry carries on in writing. Website and WhatsApp enquiries land in the same place — one job file per customer.

Small jobs crowding out big ones

Half your calls are “can you just swap a light fitting?”. It answers the routine questions from your own information, so the rewire and the EV charger enquiries reach you with the details already taken.

Out-of-date registration answers

Your scheme membership, insurance and prices each carry a review date. When one is due, you get a text — reply in a few words and it’s updated. Ignore it and the old answer stops being used.

Paperwork eating your evenings too? Certificate, quoting and admin tools are built to order and quoted separately — tell me what takes the time.

Every build ships secure by default, UK GDPR-compliant and monitored — see how we build.

What your customers ask

Answered from your information, in your words

  • “Can you do an EICR on my rental before the tenants move in?”
  • “Do you fit EV chargers, and how long’s the wait?”
  • “Are you NICEIC or NAPIT registered?”
  • “Can you get to Falmouth this week?”
  • “Do you do the paperwork for building control?”
  • “Can you add a battery to my solar panels?”

It only ever answers from what you’ve approved. If it hasn’t got an answer, it says so, takes the customer’s details and texts you the question. You answer once, and it knows next time.

Why it matters in Cornwall

Holiday-let changeovers don’t wait

Cornwall has thousands of holiday lets, and their owners want electrical work done between one booking and the next — often a Saturday window. Those enquiries come from people who live up-country and expect an answer by message, not a callback in three days. Foredesk replies straight away, takes the dates and the address, and texts you, so you can decide if the window works before someone else takes it.

Proof, not promises

Live in the wild — go and ask one a question

Cornwall Play Safety — “Piran”

An inspection firm’s assistant answering questions on services, turnaround and quotes, and taking a number when a question needs the owner.

Straight answers

What does it cost?
£499 one-off setup, then £99 a month. No tiers, no per-lead fees, and no VAT on top.
Can it tell customers I’m registered and insured?
Yes, from your own details — scheme membership, insurance, the areas you cover. Each answer is dated, so when a certificate is due for renewal you’re asked to confirm it rather than the assistant carrying on quoting an expired one.
Will it give customers advice on electrical safety?
No. It answers questions about your business — what you do, where, how soon, what it costs — from what you’ve approved. Anything about whether an installation is safe comes to you, because that’s a judgement for a qualified electrician on site.
What if a customer asks something it doesn’t know?
It says so rather than guessing, takes the customer’s name and number so the job isn’t lost, and texts you the question. You answer once, in your own words, and from then on it can answer it for everyone.
Can you build certificate or quoting tools too?
Yes, as a separate bespoke build, quoted before any work starts. Foredesk is the ready-made part; paperwork tools are built around how you already work.
