Captiva for Painters & Decorators — Ireland & Northern Ireland

Up a ladder with a wet edge? Every enquiry still lands.

You can’t break off cutting-in to chase a ringtone. Captiva answers your missed calls, captures the rooms and the finish the customer wants, and texts you the details — so quoting starts the same evening.

  • Answers calls 24/7
  • No setup fee

Sound familiar?

  • Decorating enquiries are quote-shopping calls — homeowners ring three painters and book the one who responds.
  • Sprayers, dust sheets, and ladders mean the phone lives in your pocket on silent.
  • Exterior season is short — every missed enquiry in the good weather is work lost to the calendar.

How Captiva works for painters & decorators

Quotes that start with real detail

Interior or exterior, how many rooms, paper or paint — Captiva captures the scope so your quote call-back sounds prepared and lands better.

The whole season captured

In the busy months, every caller gets answered even when you’re flat out — so the diary fills for autumn while you’re still painting summer’s jobs.

Professional first impression

A polite receptionist in your business name signals a professional outfit — exactly the impression a customer wants before letting a decorator into their home.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The things trades ask us before getting started.

Still have a question? Get in touch and we'll be glad to help.

We use natural, conversational AI. We answer in your business name, speak clearly and politely, and handle the call like a professional receptionist would.

The moment you can’t pick up, we answer, have a natural conversation to capture the job details, score how urgent the job is, and prompt you everything you need to know straight away — so you can ring back the ones that matter when you’re off the tools.

Yes. You keep your number and simply forward unanswered calls to us. No new SIM, no new hardware — we work alongside the phone you already use.

Most trades are up and running within minutes. Tell us your business details when you start your free trial and we’ll have your AI receptionist live and answering missed calls in no time.

We’re built for trade enquiries — booking jobs, taking details and answering common questions. If a call falls outside what we can handle, we still capture the caller’s number and what they were after, so nothing slips through the cracks and you can follow up.

Yes — on our higher tiers you can fully customise how we greet callers and the questions we ask, so we represent your business exactly the way you want.

Yes — and by design. Calls are never audio-recorded: we keep a written transcript so you can see exactly what was said. Your customers’ details are stored securely on servers in the EU, only used for one thing — getting the enquiry to you — never used for advertising and never sold, and you can ask us to delete them at any time. Read exactly how we handle call data in our privacy policy.
