The problem
A homeowner with a new kitchen extension is ready to order bi-fold doors. They ring your firm. Your surveyor is measuring on another job. Voicemail. They ring the next installer and book on the spot.
What Ava does
Ava answers, captures the opening width, panel count, frame material preference, and availability, then books the survey directly — so your team arrives prepared and the lead doesn't go elsewhere.
Bi-fold doors run £3,000–£10,000 per installation. One missed enquiry per day is up to £2 million in annual revenue you never bid on.
What makes bi-fold door enquiries difficult to capture?
Bi-fold and sliding door jobs require precise on-site measurement, so teams are out all day. Callers researching bi-folds are comparing several firms and book the first consultation. Calls that hit voicemail convert at under 20% — callers move on immediately.
Bi-fold doors are a premium purchase. Homeowners researching them have usually already decided to renovate — they're choosing the supplier, not the product. The firm that answers first and books the survey wins the comparison process.
Opening widths for bi-folds vary from 2.4 m to 6 m+. Frame material (aluminium, uPVC, timber) affects price significantly. Ava captures these on the first call so the surveyor arrives with a cost estimate framework ready.
How does Ava handle a bi-fold or patio door enquiry?
Ava asks for the approximate opening width, number of panels, frame material preference, whether structural work is needed, and the homeowner's availability. She books the survey directly into your diary. The lead note contains everything the surveyor needs to prepare.
For patio door enquiries, Ava distinguishes between sliding and bi-fold designs and captures the room it's for — kitchen, extension, living room. This context shapes the product recommendation the surveyor makes on-site.
Urgent requests — a damaged patio door, a broken lock mechanism — are flagged and triaged for same-day or next-day attendance. Standard survey enquiries follow the normal booking flow.

Before you choose
What to look for in an AI receptionist for bi-fold & patio doors.
Opening dimension capture
Bi-folds require precise dimensions. Your AI should ask for approximate width on the first call.
Material preference
Aluminium vs uPVC vs timber affects pricing by 40–60%. Capture this upfront.
Structural question handling
Some installations require structural lintels. Ava should flag this as a point for the surveyor.
Urgent vs standard triage
Damaged doors are urgent; new installations are not. Ensure the routing logic handles both.
Common questions
Everything you’re wondering.
Can Ava capture approximate dimensions over the phone?
Yes — Ava asks for the approximate opening width and number of panels. Final measurements are taken on-site by the surveyor.
What if the caller doesn't know what they want — bi-fold or sliding?
Ava asks a few questions about the space and usage to narrow down the options, then books the consultation where the surveyor advises.
Does Ava handle both residential and commercial glazing enquiries?
Yes — she can be scripted to route commercial enquiries to a separate contact or handle them in the same flow.
How does Ava handle calls about a broken or damaged patio door?
She flags it as urgent and offers the earliest available slot or a same-day callback.
What's the setup process?
48-hour done-for-you setup. 10-survey guarantee or refund.
