For Chimney repair specialists

AI call handling for
Chimney repair specialists.

A chimney-repair enquiry may begin with a leak, loose masonry, staining or a change noticed after severe weather. Ziverly can gather safe ground-level observations, chimney use, property status and access while you are working at height, without diagnosing the chimney or advising continued appliance use.

A familiar moment

The damp patch that appeared beside a chimney breast

You are repairing another stack when a homeowner calls about staining after rain. Ziverly can record the property, chimney and roof context, safe observations from the ground or inside, location and timing of leaks or debris, whether a fireplace or appliance is connected and in use, recent weather or work, listed or conservation status mentioned, access and existing reports or photographs. It does not encourage roof access, diagnose flashing, masonry, liner or combustion issues, advise lighting or using an appliance, interpret consent requirements or promise attendance.

Where Ziverly can help

More room for the work.
A clearer thread afterwards.

A visible symptom can have several causes

Water, masonry, flashing, pots, ventilation and internal flues require inspection rather than a conclusion from a call.

Chimney condition can affect more than weather protection

Combustion and ventilation concerns need competent routes and must not be reduced to an ordinary roof repair message.

Height work cannot compete with the phone

Tools, access equipment and loose materials require your full attention while enquiries continue to arrive.

What a better handover can change

Less interruption.
More useful context.

Property and chimney observations are ready

Review leaks, debris, appliance use, weather history and access before deciding what needs professional inspection.

Heritage and combustion questions stay visible

Keep conservation, listing and connected-appliance context marked without Ziverly interpreting it.

Your approved inspection step can return

Add a visit window, photograph request or further safe question for that known homeowner without promising a diagnosis.

your working day.

☎Calls you choose≡Useful details→Your next step
  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 property, chimney and roof context, safe observations, leaks or debris, appliance use, weather or work history, stated heritage status, access and documents.

  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 approved visit window, photograph request or further safe question so Ziverly can use your latest context if that known homeowner returns.

  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.

    When safely off access equipment, verify your PIN to hear which chimney enquiries await photographs, inspection or response and update their status.

    With Owner Voice Access enabled in the Ziverly App, you can ask by phone for current conditions locally and a short forecast for your configured area as planning context. Height, access, combustion and safe-working decisions remain entirely with you and other competent people.

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

You keep the judgement

Your expertise.
Your boundaries.

Combustion, ventilation and Building Regulations requirements apply; installers of solid-fuel appliances commonly use HETAS or another authorised route.

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

Before you
get started.

Talk it through →
Can Ziverly diagnose where a chimney leak comes from?

No. It records safe observations, while diagnosis requires competent inspection of the chimney and surrounding construction.

Will it tell the caller whether a fire or appliance is safe to use?

No. Ziverly does not advise continued use or make combustion and ventilation safety decisions.

Can it explain listed-building or conservation requirements?

No. Requirements depend on the property, location and proposed work and must be checked with the relevant professionals and authorities.
