For Cornwall Kitchen & bathroom fitters

They’re choosing a kitchen tonight.
Be the one who answers.

Kitchen and bathroom customers browse in the evening, after the kids are in bed, and they send the same enquiry to several fitters. You’re mid-fit all day and catching up at 10pm. Foredesk answers the moment they ask, takes the details and texts you, so you’re first in the queue, not fourth.

Kernow.ai sets up Foredesk for Cornwall kitchen and bathroom fitters: 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

Evening browsers, daytime fitter

Your customers enquire when you’re off the tools — or still on them. Foredesk replies in seconds, any hour, and the enquiry is waiting for you in one job file with the questions they asked.

The same five questions

Do you do the design? Supply only or supply and fit? Do you do the tiling, plumbing and electrics, or do I need other trades? How long’s the wait? It answers all of them from your own information, so the enquiry that reaches you is already halfway to a survey.

Lead times that drift

Your wait list changes week to week. Every answer carries a review date, and when your lead time is due a check you get a text. Reply in a few words and it’s updated — nobody gets promised a start date from last month.

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

  • “Do you do the design, or do I need my own plans?”
  • “Can you fit a kitchen I’ve bought myself?”
  • “Do you do the tiling, plumbing and electrics too?”
  • “How long’s the wait from measure to fit?”
  • “Do you have a showroom I can visit?”
  • “How much is the deposit?”

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 lets and second homes

In Cornwall a big share of kitchen and bathroom refits are for holiday lets and second homes, and the owners often aren’t local. They want answers by message, a fit date that avoids the season, and confidence that you’ll manage the other trades. Foredesk answers those questions from your own wording at whatever hour they’re asking from, and hands you a lead that already knows how you work.

Proof, not promises

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 show customers our previous work?
It can point them to your gallery, your reviews or your showroom from your own wording and links. It answers in words; your website does the pictures.
Will it give out prices?
Only the guide figures you approve — for example a typical fitting-only price band — each with a review date. Anything that depends on the room or the units comes to you to measure and price.
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 a quoting or design-brief tool too?
Yes, as a separate bespoke build, quoted before any work starts. Foredesk is the ready-made part; quoting tools are built around how you already price.
