A familiar moment

The checkout is booked before the cleaning is

A tenant calls while your team is working through another property. They need a clean before a fixed checkout, the flat is furnished and the agent has supplied a checklist. Ziverly records the property size, furnished state, occupancy, deadline, access, checklist, appliances and requested additions such as carpet or window cleaning, ready for you to assess the scope and availability.

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.

The deadline is fixed

Checkout, key return and the next tenancy can leave very little room for missing information or late changes.

The words 'end-of-tenancy clean' hide variation

Size, condition, furnishings, appliances, carpets, windows and excluded areas can all change the work.

Deposit expectations need care

Cleaning quality matters, but no call handler can guarantee how a landlord, agent or inventory clerk will decide.

What a better handover can change

Less interruption now, a clearer thread afterwards.

A fuller property brief

Capture rooms, bathrooms, furnished state, occupancy, condition and requested extras before you quote.

Checklist and access considered early

Record whether an agent's checklist is available, who holds the keys and when the property can be entered.

Honest expectations

Explain your process and scope without promising availability, a fixed unseen price or a deposit return.

Navi, The Guide

For end-of-tenancy cleaning, 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.

    See the property size, furnished state, current condition, checkout deadline, access, checklist and requested extras before deciding whether the clean fits.

  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 the agreed price, arrival window, key arrangement, included extras or another condition question, so Ziverly has the latest context if the customer rings again.

  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.

    Hear which cleaning enquiries are awaiting photographs, a quotation, access or confirmation and update their status or priority between properties.

Use your own numbers

What might unanswered calls represent for your business?

If an average end-of-tenancy clean is worth around £180 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.

Enquiries represented by your figures 0 Monthly work value represented £0

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.

No trade-specific statutory licence; COSHH, safe work at height, electrical safety and waste duties apply according to methods and products used.

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 guarantee that the deposit will be returned?

No. Ziverly can record the checklist and explain your cleaning process, but the deposit and inspection decisions belong to the relevant landlord, agent or scheme.

Can Ziverly give an instant cleaning price?

No. It can gather the property and condition details you choose; you decide when there is enough information to quote.

Can Ziverly confirm a clean before checkout?

No. It records the deadline and access, then your team confirms whether the work fits the diary.

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.
