AI for tradespeople & contractors
For most trades the hard part isn't the work — it's the admin that piles up after it. Quoting in the evenings, missed calls while you're on a job, invoices that need chasing. Katalis helps plumbers, electricians, builders and contractors put AI on the paperwork, not the tools.
There’s no one-size-fits-all AI
The hard part isn't the job, it's the admin around it. Quotes get written in the evenings, calls come in while you're up a ladder or under a sink, and invoices need chasing after the work's done. Leads go cold because you couldn't get to the phone, and every enquiry means stopping what you're doing.
What you probably already use
AI slots into what you’ve got — we don’t make you rip it out and start again.
Where AI helps depends on your setup
If you're a sole trader on the tools all day…
…catching missed calls and drafting quotes fast are the big wins — a missed call stops being a lost job.
If you've got a small team or office…
…it's more about coordination — quoting, scheduling and chasing invoices without it all landing on one person.
If you rely on repeat or commercial clients…
…the win leans toward fast, professional quotes and follow-ups that win the next contract.
Where AI actually helps
Quotes eat your evenings.
Draft a clear, professional quote from a few notes or a voice memo in seconds — you just check it and send.
You miss calls while you're on the job.
An assistant answers common questions and takes details 24/7, so a missed call isn't a lost customer.
Chasing invoices is a job in itself.
Polite, automatic follow-ups chase late payments for you, so you get paid without the awkward phone calls.
Common questions
I'm a one-man band — is this overkill?
Small is the sweet spot. When it's just you, taking the admin off your plate frees the most time — and the tools that used to need a big budget are now within reach.
Do I own what you build?
Yes. We build things that stay with your business — real capability, not rented dependence.
How much does it cost?
A first tool or automation usually starts around £2,000–£5,000 plus a little each month, all + VAT. It depends on your setup, and the first chat is free.
