Admin support for tradespeople in Bristol You do the work. We do the rest.
Fyxo Sidekick is a real person in Kingswood who answers your enquiries, sends and chases your quotes and keeps your diary, all from one app on your phone. You stay on the tools. We do the admin.
- Replies within the hour, 9am to 5pm
- A real person, not a bot
- You approve every price
Good morning, Dan
Today
Great at the job. Buried in the admin.
Enquiries come in by phone, text, email and Facebook while your hands are full. By the time you reply that evening, half have gone elsewhere. Quotes go out late or not at all, and the diary lives in your head.
Job-management apps don't fix that, because they still expect you to do the admin. Sidekick is different: we do it for you.
- Missed calls while you're up a ladder
- Quotes written at 10pm on the sofa
- Customers who never hear back
- Double-booked Tuesdays
What your Sidekick does for your business
Everything between "Can you quote for this?" and turning up on the day.
Enquiries answered
Every new enquiry gets a friendly reply in your business's name within the hour, 9am to 5pm, so you stop losing jobs to whoever answers first.
Quotes written and sent
Tell us the price, or approve one we've drafted, and we send a tidy, branded quote your customer can accept online in one tap.
Quotes chased for you
We follow up after 3 days, again after 7, and before the quote runs out. You hear when it's a yes, and why if it's a no.
Your diary, kept
Jobs are booked with no double-bookings, customers get a confirmation, and everything shows in your Apple, Google or Outlook calendar.
One app on your phone
See every enquiry, quote and booking at a glance. It opens from your home screen, no download needed, and tells you when something needs you.
A person to message
Need a job moved or a customer called back? Message your Sidekick from the app and it's done, without you leaving the job.
How it works
Up and running in days, not weeks. No new software to learn.
Step 1: Book a free call
15 minutes on the phone. Tell us about your trade, your prices and what's eating your evenings.
Step 2: We set you up
We add your services, price guide, hours and logo, and give you an enquiry form for your website and socials.
Step 3: Your Sidekick takes over
We answer enquiries, write and chase quotes and keep your diary, as your business and in your tone.
Step 4: You approve and turn up
You okay prices with a tap, check your day in the app, and get on with the job.

We do the admin. You keep the say.
Your Sidekick drafts the quote from your price guide. You get one notification, check it, and tap approve. Only then does it go to your customer, with your name and logo on it.
- Approve and send, or ask for changes
- Customers accept online, then we book the job
- See who did what, and when, on every job
Based in Kingswood, Bristol
Local for Bristol, built for beyond.
Fyxo is a Bristol business, run from Kingswood in the east of the city. When your Sidekick replies to a customer in Hanham, Fishponds or Keynsham, they know where that is, how long it takes to get there and what the parking's like.
We're starting with a small group of Bristol trades so we can do it properly. The app works wherever you are, and we'll welcome trades from across the UK as we grow.

Questions trades ask us
What is Fyxo Sidekick?
Fyxo Sidekick is admin support for tradespeople and small businesses. A real person at Fyxo, your Sidekick, answers your enquiries, writes up and chases your quotes, and keeps your diary. You see everything in one app on your phone.
Is my Sidekick a real person or a chatbot?
A real person, based in Kingswood, Bristol. We use good software to stay quick and organised, but a person reads every enquiry and nothing is sent without a human checking it.
Do you set prices on my behalf?
No. You tell us the price, or approve the one we've drafted from your price guide, and only then does the quote go to your customer. You can also ask for changes before anything is sent.
How quickly do you reply to new enquiries?
We reply to new enquiries within the hour, 9am to 5pm. Anything that arrives later is picked up first thing the next morning.
Which trades do you work with?
Mostly trades and small service businesses: plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, decorators, cleaners, dog groomers, mobile mechanics, locksmiths and more. If you quote for jobs or take bookings, we can probably help.
Do I need to download an app?
No download needed. The Sidekick app runs in your phone's browser and you can add it to your home screen so it opens like any other app. You'll get a notification when something needs you.
Where is my data kept?
Your data is stored in the UK (London) and handled under UK GDPR. Each business's records are kept separate, and only you and your Sidekick can see them.
How much does it cost?
We're running a founding pilot with a small number of Bristol trades. Book a free call and we'll talk you through founding-member pricing, with no obligation.
Do you only work in Bristol?
We're local for Bristol and built for beyond. We're based in Kingswood and starting with trades in and around Bristol, so we know the streets your customers live on. Sidekick works wherever you are, and we'll welcome trades from across the UK as we grow.
You do the work. We do the rest.
