AI voice agents for UK service businesses

An AI receptionist that answers, books and follows up, day and night

When your team can't get to the phone, your voice agent picks up in your business's name, books the appointment into your diary and passes anything complicated to a person. OMH builds it, tests it and manages it for you.

Voice agents for businesses in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Bristol

Built and managed remotely from Essex by a UK team

What a voice agent is

The calls you miss are customers ringing someone else

An AI voice agent is a phone assistant that answers your business line and talks to callers in natural speech. It understands what they need, answers from the information you have approved, books appointments into your diary and sends your team a written summary of every call.

It matters because most callers don't leave a voicemail. Someone with a leaking pipe, a broken tooth or a viewing to arrange wants it sorted now, so they try the next number on the list. You never find out that the call happened.

A voice agent answers on the first ring, at lunchtime, at 9pm and on bank holidays. Your team keeps the conversations that need a person.

Read the transcript

[PLACEHOLDER] Draft transcript. Replace with the final wording once the video is recorded.

It's twenty to eight on a Tuesday evening and a dental practice in Manchester closed over an hour ago. The phone rings. In the past that call went to voicemail, and most callers hung up before the beep.

Tonight the practice's voice agent answers. It says who it is, including that it's an AI assistant, and asks how it can help. The caller has chipped a tooth and wants to be seen this week.

The agent checks the diary, offers two times and books the one the caller chooses. It sends a confirmation text and emails a summary to reception, ready for the morning.

If the caller had asked a clinical question, the agent would not have answered it. It would have taken a message for the team, or put the call through to the emergency line the practice has chosen.

That's the whole job: answer, help where it can, book, and hand over to a person when it should.

Areas we serve

Based in Essex, working UK-wide

We focus our voice agent work on six cities. We don't have offices in any of them and we won't pretend otherwise. Our team is in Hullbridge, Essex, and we run discovery, testing and monthly reviews by video call and phone.

Your callers still get a local experience. The agent can answer on your existing number, or on a new local number with the right area code.

Why choose OMH

The software is the easy part. Running it well is the job.

Anyone can sign up for a voice AI tool. Whether it works for your business depends on the script, the testing and somebody keeping an eye on it every month. That's the part we do.

A voice agent managed by OMH compared with a do-it-yourself or generic tool
What you get Managed by OMH DIY or generic tool
Setup Managed by OMH: We map your calls, write the script and connect your diary. DIY or generic tool: You learn the tool and build it in your own time.
Industry knowledge Managed by OMH: Built from the calls your sector really gets. DIY or generic tool: A general template you adapt yourself.
Testing Managed by OMH: Test calls and your sign-off before a customer hears it. DIY or generic tool: Often tested on live callers.
Reporting Managed by OMH: Call outcomes sit beside your ads and website results. DIY or generic tool: A separate dashboard nobody opens.
When a call goes wrong Managed by OMH: We spot it in the monthly review and fix the script. DIY or generic tool: You find out when a customer complains.
Who to ring Managed by OMH: A named person at OMH in the UK. DIY or generic tool: A support ticket.

01

Built around your industry's calls

We start from the real reasons people ring you: the boiler fault, the viewing request, the cancelled appointment. The script, questions and handover rules follow from those.

02

Outcomes in your reporting

Calls answered, bookings made and calls transferred sit in the same report as your Google Ads and website figures, so you can follow an enquiry from click to booked job.

03

A UK team optimising monthly

Every month we listen to a sample of calls, look at what the agent couldn't answer and improve it. You get a short written summary of what we changed and why.

Panels show illustrative examples with fictional businesses.

How it works

Four steps from first call to live agent

You stay in control at every step. Typical time from discovery to launch [PLACEHOLDER] We confirm your timeline after the first call.

  1. Step 1

    Discovery and call mapping

    We talk through who rings you, when and why, and agree which calls the agent handles and which always go to a person.

    You give: about an hour

  2. Step 2

    Script, voice and knowledge

    We write the conversation, choose the voice and load the facts the agent may use. You approve every word before it goes near a caller.

    You give: FAQs and prices

  3. Step 3

    Test calls and sign-off

    You and your team ring the agent and try to trip it up. We fix what you find, and nothing goes live until you say so.

    You give: honest feedback

  4. Step 4

    Launch and monthly optimisation

    We switch it on, often for out-of-hours calls first. Each month we review calls, improve the script and report back.

    You get: a monthly report

  • Each customer is worth real moneyso one missed call can cost more than the agent.
  • You have a diary or systemthat bookings can go into.
  • You are happy to be open about AICallers are told they are speaking to an AI assistant.

Not the right fit if

  • Your phone is quietA handful of calls a week, and you already answer them all.
  • Every call needs expert judgementfrom the very first sentence.
  • You want callers to think it is a personWe won't build that.
  • You want to cold calllists of people who haven't agreed to hear from you.
  • You want to set it and forget itAn agent needs a regular review to stay good.

Costs are rough UK guides for a small business, not quotes. Answering service and platform prices vary widely by provider and usage.

When something else suits you better

  • Every call needs a person

    If each conversation needs judgement or a personal touch from the first word, a good receptionist or answering service will serve you better.

  • You want to build it yourself

    If you have the technical time to script, connect and maintain an agent, a DIY platform costs less than a managed service.

  • Emergency or life-critical lines

    Where a missed or misunderstood call is a safety risk, an AI agent should never be the only route. We don't position it for those lines.

Showing all 12 questions

Will callers know they are talking to an AI?

Callers and AI

Yes. We set every agent up to say it is an AI assistant at the start of the call. Callers deserve to know, and it avoids awkward moments later in the conversation.

Can the agent transfer a call to a real person?

Callers and AI

Yes. You set the rules. Emergencies, existing clients, complaints and anyone who asks for a person can be put through to the right phone. Outside your opening hours the agent takes a detailed message and sends it to your team.

Which calendars and systems does it work with?

Setup and systems

The agent needs somewhere to put bookings and call notes, usually your calendar and your CRM or practice system. We check your exact tools during discovery and tell you plainly what connects directly, what needs a workaround and what is not possible yet.

[CONFIRM] list of supported calendar and CRM integrations

Can we keep our existing phone number, or get a local one?

Setup and systems

In most cases you keep your number and divert calls to the agent, either all of them or only the ones your team cannot answer. If you want a new local number, for example an 0161 number for Manchester, we can arrange one as part of setup.

[CONFIRM] number porting and local number provisioning

Are calls recorded, and how does that fit with UK GDPR?

Data and rules

Calls can be recorded and transcribed so you can review them, and callers are told at the start of the call. You remain the data controller and OMH acts as your processor under a written agreement. We agree retention periods with you and delete recordings on that schedule.

[CONFIRM] data processing agreement, storage region and retention options

What are the rules for outbound calls?

Data and rules

The agent only calls people who have given appropriate consent, such as customers who asked for a reminder or a call back. We follow the UK PECR rules, screen lists against the Telephone Preference Service where required and act on opt-outs straight away. We do not run cold calling campaigns to bought or non-consented lists.

Is it suitable for dental clinics and healthcare providers?

Health and legal

Yes, for bookings, routing and practical questions such as opening hours, fees and directions. The agent never gives clinical or medical advice. Anything clinical goes to your team, and urgent calls follow the emergency route you set.

Is it suitable for law firms?

Health and legal

Yes, for taking new enquiries, booking consultations and routing existing clients. The agent never gives legal advice and does not comment on the merits of a matter. It collects the details and gets the caller to the right person.

We are not in one of your six cities. Can we still work with you?

Working with us

Yes. We are based in Hullbridge, Essex and work with businesses across the UK remotely. London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Bristol are where we focus our voice agent work at the moment.

How long does setup take?

Setup and systems

It depends on how many types of call you have and what the agent needs to connect to. A simple booking agent is quicker than one covering several departments. We give you a realistic timeline after the discovery call, before you commit to anything.

[PLACEHOLDER] typical setup time

What happens when the agent does not know the answer?

Callers and AI

It says so. The agent answers only from information you have approved, so when a question falls outside that, it offers to take a message or transfer the call. We review those moments every month and add the answers worth adding.

Is there a minimum contract?

Working with us

We set out the terms in writing before you start, including the notice period, what is included each month and what counts as extra. There are no hidden usage fees. Every invoice shows your included minutes and any overage.
