Common questions

FAQ, Plumbing Callouts across Scotland

Do I need to cover all of Scotland?
No. Calls are matched using your business postcode, not the whole region. You hear the estimated drive before accepting each call.
How many calls can I expect?
There isn’t a fixed weekly number. It depends on emergency demand in Scotland, advertising and when you’re available.
Can I turn calls off when I’m busy?
Yes. Pause calls in your WhatsApp account controls when you’re busy, then resume them when you’re ready.
Can I ask something before joining?
Use the chat button on this page, or email support@getthecall.uk.
