RingmereHome / Industries / Appliance Repair
The AI phone receptionist for appliance repair engineers.
A washing machine full of water is an emergency to the person who owns it, and you are lying on a kitchen floor with your arm inside a dishwasher. Ringmere answers, takes the appliance, the make and what it is doing wrong, and books the diagnostic visit.
The missed-call problem
Sound familiar?
- Calls you cannot answer with your hands inside a machine
- Customers who ring the next engineer the moment you miss them
- “Has my part come in?” calls in the middle of every job
Every one of those is a booking walking to a competitor. Ringmere answers before it does.
How Ringmere helps appliance repair
Answer, book, and hand you the rest.
Answers your calls, 24/7
First-ring pickup, evenings and weekends included, so callers get a real answer instead of voicemail.
Books the visit with the fault written down
Books diagnostic visits and fixed-price repairs with the appliance, make and fault in the notes, and takes questions about parts and warranties as messages.
Escalates what matters
Urgent, clinical or unhappy callers go to your team immediately, with full context.
It answers messages too: on Growth and Pro, customers can WhatsApp or text your business and the same receptionist replies, books and takes orders.
Call by call
Every call an appliance repair engineer gets.
Appliance repair is a day of short visits and long drives, with a phone that rings at every stop. This is what Ringmere does with those calls.
| The call | What Ringmere does |
|---|---|
| “My washing machine won’t drain” | Books the diagnostic visit at your price with the make, the fault and any error code in the notes. |
| An oven, a dishwasher or a tumble dryer | Answered from the appliances you list, and booked as a visit or a fixed-price repair as you have set it up. |
| “Is it worth fixing?” | Never judged on the phone. The visit is booked and the answer comes from you. |
| “Has my part come in?” | Taken as a message for you, because Ringmere does not see your parts orders. |
| A brand you do not cover | Told plainly that it is not one you repair, and taken as a message if they want you to call. |
| Sparking, a burning smell or a fire | Told to call 999 if there is a fire, and escalated to you. It gives no safety advice of its own. |
| A letting agent with a broken appliance in a rental | Takes the property address, the tenant’s contact if given, and the fault, and books the visit or passes it to you. |
An example call
Written to show how a call goes, using sample services and prices; not a recording.
Caller: Hi, my washing machine’s stopped draining. It’s full of water.
Ringmere: Sorry, that’s a nuisance. What make is it, and is there anything showing on the display?
Caller: It’s a Bosch. It says E18.
Ringmere: Thanks, I’ll note the E18. A diagnostic visit is £60, and if it’s a straightforward repair the engineer will give you a price before doing it. I have Thursday at 11am or Friday at 3pm.
Caller: Thursday, please.
Ringmere: What’s the address with the postcode?
Caller: 12 Mill Lane, M20 4RT. I’m Sam.
Ringmere: Thanks, Sam. That’s booked: diagnostic visit on Thursday at 11am at 12 Mill Lane, Bosch washing machine not draining, error E18.
