AI for Electricians in Folkestone: Fewer Unsent Quotes, More Booked Jobs
An electrician's backlog is usually quotes: the ones not yet written, and the ones sent and never chased.
The best AI setup for a Kent electrician is one that answers new enquiries quickly, sends quotes promptly and chases the ones left unanswered, then books accepted jobs into the diary. Dean Keating, based in Horndean, Hampshire, installs this for Folkestone and Kent firms remotely.
Three electrical firms are listed in the directory, in a category of only five trades businesses. It is a small field, and customers who find one by search often contact two or three at once. The firm that replies well and follows up tends to be the one that gets the job.
Where the booked jobs go missing
Electrical work divides into small jobs, such as a new socket or a fault, and larger ones, such as a rewire or a consumer-unit change. The small jobs need a speedy answer and a date. The larger ones need a site visit, a written quote and patience. Both can slip.
For the large jobs, the weak point is the gap between the visit and the decision. A quote goes out on Thursday. The customer is comparing three. Without a prompt, the follow-up never happens, and the one who chased gets the work.
A set-up in four pieces
Instant acknowledgement. Each new message gets a prompt, friendly reply that asks what the job is, where it is and when it suits.
Quote delivery. Once you have priced the work, the agent sends it in your format and notes the date.
Quote chasing. A reminder after a few days, and another after a few more. If the customer says no, it logs the reason; if yes, it moves on.
The diary. An accepted quote becomes a booking, with a confirmation and a reminder the day before.
What is not automated
Safety judgements, test results, certificates and anything regulated stay with you. Nothing here involves the agent making technical decisions. It handles the messages around the work.
The provider
Dean Keating's website lists sending quotes and chasing unanswered ones, booking jobs into the diary and replying to enquiries within minutes.

He is based in Horndean, Hampshire. The work is remote, and he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby in person; for Kent, plan on remote. There is no published price. A cost is given after the free call, with no obligation, and you leave with a plan you can use with or without him.
