Missed Call Text Back for Balcatta Trades · WA 6021Balcatta is on the roof. The phone is in the ute.
Much of Balcatta is commercial and industrial, ten kilometres up the road from the CBD, and the trade businesses we looked at here are roofers and air conditioning installers. That means two peak seasons a year, the wet one and the hot one, and both are spent on a roof with the phone ringing out below. We text those callers back inside a minute, from your number, and chase every quote you send.
Working out which window you are standing in.
In Balcatta the
phone rings when
you are on a ladder.
That is what we found when we looked at the trade businesses actually operating here, and it changes what we build first.
Two peak seasons, both on a roof
Of the three Balcatta trade businesses we have researched, two are roofers and one is air conditioning. About 78% of Perth's rain falls between May and September, and Perth averages 26 days a year over 35°C, almost all of them November to March. A roofer's calls arrive in a storm week, an air conditioning business's on the first hot Saturday, and in both cases every call lands at once, on the day nobody can pick up.
The number on the ute is the front door
One of the three has a website that no longer loads, and none of them takes bookings online. Customers ring. A call that rings out during a leak is not a lead you follow up tomorrow; by tomorrow a bucket is under it and someone else has been. The good news is that every one of them listed a mobile, so text-back works from day one, which is not true of every Perth trade precinct.

What we take off
your plate.
The audit decides which of these you get and in what order. For most Balcatta businesses the storm-day and heat-day text-back does more than anything else.
We catch the calls you miss on the roof
You are halfway through a re-roof in Gwelup and the phone in the ute rings out. Inside a minute the caller has a text from your number asking what is happening and which suburb they are in. How missed call text back works.
We tell a live leak from a quote
Water coming through a ceiling in Nollamara and a gutter quote in Hamersley need different answers at different speeds. The leak gets told what to do now and goes to the top of your list. The quote gets booked for a dry day. Your rules, set on the audit call.
We chase every quote you send
In Perth a single-storey re-roof runs about $10,500 to $26,250 and a split system install $1,250 to $4,725. Those quotes get compared. We check in at day 2, day 7 and day 21 in your voice and hand you whoever replies. The sequence, with the wording.
We keep you legal on SMS
A text-back about the call they just made is a reply, not marketing. A pre-summer service reminder to last year's customers is marketing, and needs consent, your name and an unsubscribe. We build the line between them in. The rules, in plain English.
Set it to a storm week.
A roofing visit is $210 to $525 and a split system install $1,250 to $4,725, so the default job value sits between them. A storm week pushes the calls up, not the value. Drag it to match yours.
We assume we recover 60% of what you are missing, which is deliberately conservative. The full calculator shows the maths.
Audit, build, then
we keep running it.

- One person who knows your build
The suburbs we write
into your sequences.
When a customer texts back, the reply names their suburb and gives an honest arrival window, because Stirling is around the corner and Duncraig on a storm afternoon is not.
Fair questions.
Do you actually work with Balcatta businesses or just say you do?
Why does being in Balcatta change anything?
Can the text-back tell a live leak from a re-roof quote?
What does an engagement cost?
Half an hour, and
you will know.
We go through how enquiries reach you, how many storm-week calls ring out, and what each of those holes is worth in a year. You leave with that whether you hire us or not.
Three questions on the next page and we text you a time within a few minutes. Nothing to buy on the call.
