Who's behind this?
Started by someone from the trade
CallVest came from watching good tradespeople lose work for the daftest reason: they were up a ladder, under a sink or elbow-deep in a fuse board when the phone went.
By the time they'd rung back, the customer had booked someone else. So we built Vesty to pick up when you can't, and sound like a decent human while doing it.
“No tradesperson should lose a job just because they couldn't get to the phone.

Fair questions
FAQ
What if I go over my minutes?+
Vesty keeps answering and never switches off when you reach your monthly minutes. Extra minutes are 15p each, and if you're regularly going over we'll suggest a better plan.
Can Vesty take more than one call at once?+
Yes. If a few customers ring at the same time, Vesty answers them all. Nobody gets an engaged tone or your voicemail.
Can Vesty chat on my website too?+
Yes. We add a small chat button to your website. Vesty answers questions about your business, books jobs into your diary and emails you every booking or message. It works on any website with one line of code, and we add it for you. Free on Full Office, or £15 a month added to Receptionist.
Which calendars does Vesty work with?+
Google Calendar, Outlook and Microsoft 365, iCloud and most other calendars. Vesty checks your real diary before offering a time, books the job straight in, and won't double-book you. We connect it for you during setup.
What if family or my doctor rings my mobile?+
You have two options. We can set you up with a separate business number, so only work calls ever go to Vesty and your personal calls stay personal. Or keep your own mobile and give us a VIP list (family, school, GP): Vesty greets them warmly, never books them in or asks personal questions, and sends you a separate PERSONAL CALL alert so you can ring straight back.
Will customers know it's AI?+
If anyone asks, Vesty says it's an AI — we don't think there's any point pretending. Most callers just want their job sorted, and Vesty uses plain English and knows your business, so the chat feels normal.
Do I keep my number?+
Yes. You keep your own number. You just divert missed calls to Vesty with a simple code, and you can switch it off any time.
What if it's an emergency?+
You tell us what counts as urgent for you — a gas smell, a flood, no heat with a baby at home. Vesty puts those calls straight through to you.
Can I choose a male or female voice?+
Yes. There are several British voices to pick from, male and female, so Vesty sounds right for your business.
How long does it take to set up?+
A 10-minute call with us, then we do the setup. Most trades are live within a week.
I'm not great with tech. Is that a problem?+
Not at all. You don't install anything or fill in settings. We have a 10-minute chat about your business, set Vesty up for you, then walk you through the one divert code on your phone.
Does it work with Checkatrade, MyBuilder and Bark leads?+
Yes. When a customer from any of those rings you and you can't answer, Vesty picks up, takes the details and sends the job to your phone, the same as any other call. You keep using those sites exactly as you do now.
What's the Vesty guarantee?+
If Vesty doesn't book at least one job into your diary in your first paid month, your second month is free. Just email us at the end of that month and we'll check and apply it.
Do I need to give card details for the trial?+
No. The 14-day trial is free and we don't ask for a card. If you want to carry on afterwards, we'll sort payment then.
Let Vesty take the next call.
14 days free. No card needed. No contract.
We set it all up for you after a 10-minute call.
