A familiar moment

The refurbishment paused after a survey result

You are completing controlled work when a homeowner calls after a survey reported an asbestos-containing material in a utility room. Ziverly can record who is enquiring and their stated authority, property and project stage, survey type, date and relevant finding as described, material location and condition without interpretation, whether work has stopped, occupancy, access, other contractors and preferred response. It does not identify asbestos, interpret or amend the survey, decide whether work is licensed, non-licensed or notifiable, advise touching, sampling, sealing, packaging, transport, disposal or re-entry, accept waste, quote, accept the work or promise attendance. Damaged material, airborne dust, fire, exposure or immediate danger needs the appropriate emergency, environmental, occupational-health or competent asbestos route.

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.

Classification cannot come from a telephone description

Material, condition, task and exposure controls need proper evidence before the work route is determined.

Authority and documents matter

The owner, landlord, contractor and surveyor may hold different parts of the information needed for a lawful next step.

Controlled work cannot be interrupted casually

A new enquiry can be captured without distracting your team from containment, protective equipment or site procedures.

What a better handover can change

Less interruption now, a clearer thread afterwards.

The evidence arrives in order

Review authority, property, project stage, survey finding, material location, occupancy and contractor context together.

No asbestos decision is improvised

Your approved process can keep identification, classification, controls, transport and disposal with competent people.

A survey detail can follow the caller

Add the approved report-page, material-location or contractor question so Ziverly can use it if they call again.

When someone calls about domestic asbestos-removal enquiries, your receptionist should sound like a respectful extension of your business, with honest expectations and no invented promises.

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 caller authority, property, project stage, survey finding, material location, occupancy and contractor context in your App summary.

  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 approved report-page, location or contractor question so Ziverly can use it without interpreting the evidence.

  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.

    After the current controlled area and records are secure, verify your PIN to hear which permitted removal enquiries await review.

Use your own numbers

What might unanswered calls represent for your business?

Enter figures from your own recent calls to put the possible value of unanswered enquiries into context.

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.

Asbestos surveys must be competent; higher-risk asbestos work requires an HSE licence and notification, while all work is governed by the Control of Asbestos Regulations.

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 confirm that the work is non-licensed?

No. Classification depends on the material, condition, task and current legal requirements reviewed by competent people.

Will it advise the caller how to handle or package the material?

No. Ziverly gives no disturbance, sampling, removal, packaging, transport or disposal instructions.

Can it accept the waste or arrange removal?

No. Evidence, scope, notifications, controls, price, acceptance and attendance remain with your authorised process.

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.
