A familiar moment

The kitchen renovation where heating and flooring must meet

You are completing a manifold check when a homeowner calls about underfloor heating for a kitchen extension. Ziverly can capture the property, rooms and intended use, wet or electric preference if the caller has one, current heating and controls, floor construction and covering as described, caller-supplied area, drawings, insulation or heat-loss information they already hold, build stage, other trades, access and desired response. It does not calculate heat loss, pipe spacing, cable loading, zones or output, assess floors, insulation, electrics, plumbing or compatibility, choose controls or finishes, quote, accept the job or promise performance and running cost. Design, preparation, regulated work and commissioning remain with competent people.

The useful handover

Enough context to respond properly.

The aim is to welcome the caller, gather the details you decide matter and keep the same enquiry easy to follow until the work is resolved.

  • Who is calling and how to reach them.
  • What they need help with and where.
  • What should happen next, without inventing a response time.

Where the pressure tends to gather

Make space for the work without leaving the caller in the dark.

Think about the calls that interrupt you most often. Ziverly can follow the questions and boundaries you choose, then leave the details ready for your judgement.

Several design decisions meet beneath the floor

Heat source, build-up, insulation, covering, controls and room use all affect what needs professional assessment.

Project stage can create real constraints

A conversation before screed or flooring is different from a request after finishes and fitted units are in place.

Testing and commissioning require focus

You can review a well-structured new enquiry later instead of trying to take renovation notes beside a live system.

What a better handover can change

Less interruption now, a clearer thread afterwards.

The build stage leads the handover

See rooms, current heating, described floor construction, drawings, other trades and the homeowner's intended timing.

No design value is invented

Your wording can keep heat loss, loads, output, controls, build-up and suitability within proper design and checks.

A coordination question can follow

Add the screed, floor finish, heat source or drawing detail for Ziverly to ask if the project contact rings again.

Navi, The Guide

For domestic underfloor-heating installations, start with the interruption you most want to remove, then choose how calls reach Ziverly and how you want to keep the follow-up moving.

Before, during and after the call

From first ring to finished follow-up.

Ziverly can do more than take a message. You stay in control of when it answers, how you hear about each call and what context is available if the customer rings again.

  1. You decide which calls reach Ziverly.

    Use the call-diversion options supported by your mobile or landline service, such as no reply, unreachable, busy or rejected. Turn them off again whenever you want to answer normally, or use cover for evenings, weekends, holidays and unexpected time away.

  2. Your call details meet you where you are.

    Choose email or SMS alerts where enabled, then open Ziverly to review the summary, transcript, recording where available, status and priority.

    Review the rooms, current heat source, described floor construction, covering, caller-supplied area, drawings and build stage after your notification.

  3. The next conversation starts further forwards.

    Add an AI-facing note when you want Ziverly to have more context if the same known caller rings again. Separate private notes stay private.

    Add an AI-facing note with the coordination window or the screed, finish, heat-source or drawing question still needed from the known contact.

  4. Open calls do not have to rely on memory.

    Choose a daily or weekly email summary of calls still waiting for attention, at the time that best fits your working day.

  5. You can check in by phone, too.

    With Owner Voice Access enabled, call your own Ziverly number, verify your PIN and manage the calls you are allowed to see.

    Once the current test and system are secure, use PIN-protected Owner Voice Access to hear which underfloor-heating projects await your review.

Use your own numbers

What might unanswered calls represent for your business?

If an average heating installation is worth around £1,800 to your business, even one suitable enquiry can be worth understanding properly. Replace that example with your own figures below.

The result is an illustration based only on what you enter. It is not a forecast, a promise that Ziverly will recover the work or a reason to accept an unsuitable job.

This simple multiplication does not account for timing, capacity, costs, cancellations, repeat work or whether another response would have changed the outcome.

Useful boundaries for call handling

Let Ziverly gather details without overstepping your expertise.

Building Regulations and, for some projects, planning permission apply; requirements and self-certification arrangements differ across the UK nations.

You remain responsible for the advice you give, the work you accept and the safety, eligibility and professional checks your business requires.

A few practical questions

What would you want to know before starting?

Use these answers to decide where Ziverly could help and where the conversation should always return to you.

Can Ziverly say whether wet or electric underfloor heating is best?

No. It records the project context; system choice and design remain with competent professionals.

Will it calculate output or running cost?

No. Heat loss, design temperatures, controls, energy use and cost require project-specific assessment.

Can it confirm a floor covering is suitable?

No. Floor build-up, materials, temperatures, manufacturer requirements and installation sequence must be checked properly.

Try the smallest useful version

Begin with the calls that interrupt your working day most often.

Choose what Ziverly should know, what it should never promise and which details make a follow-up genuinely useful. Creating an account is free, so you can look around before deciding when you want Ziverly to handle a call.

No monthly or annual plan is required and there is no fixed-term commitment. Add pay-as-you-go credit only when you are ready to use it.
