Roofing Job Leads

Roofing Job Leads for Contractors

GetRoofingPrices.co.uk generates enquiries from homeowners, landlords and property owners across the UK who are actively looking for prices for roofing repairs and replacements.

The enquiries cover a wide range of domestic roofing work, including garage roof replacements, bay window roof repairs, pitched roof felt replacement, lead flashing repairs, roof valley work and ridge tile repairs.

If you are a roofer, builder or property maintenance contractor looking for more work in your local area, joining the contractor network could help you connect with customers who already have a roofing project in mind.

Rather than spending all of your time on advertising, social media or chasing recommendations, you can receive details from people who have completed an online enquiry and asked to hear from suitable roofing professionals.

The contractor network is managed by Leads Do Work. Matching roofing leads can be delivered through the Leads Do Work mobile app, by email and through your online contractor account.

Each lead is an opportunity to contact a potential customer, discuss the work and provide your own quotation. There is no guarantee that every lead will become a job, as the homeowner remains free to compare contractors and choose who they wish to hire.

What Is a Roofing Lead?

A roofing lead is an enquiry submitted by a customer who is looking for help with a roofing problem or planned roofing project.

The customer will normally provide details such as their postcode, contact information, the type of roofing work required and a short description of the problem. Some customers may also provide photographs or measurements.

Depending on the type of enquiry, you may receive information about:

• The roofing service requested.
• The location of the property.
• The customer's preferred timescale.
• The approximate size of the roof or damaged area.
• The existing roof covering.
• Whether the roof is currently leaking.
• Whether the customer wants a repair or complete replacement.
• Any photographs or additional notes supplied by the customer.

You can then contact the customer directly, introduce your business and ask any additional questions needed before arranging a quotation.

Types of Roofing Leads Available

GetRoofingPrices.co.uk focuses on common domestic roofing services where homeowners often want to compare prices from more than one local contractor.

The number and type of leads available will vary depending on customer demand, season, location and the services selected within your account.

Garage Roof Replacement Leads

Garage roofs regularly need repairs or replacement because the existing covering has cracked, split, lifted or reached the end of its useful life.

Garage roofing enquiries may include:

• Removing and replacing old garage roofing felt.
• Installing EPDM rubber garage roofing.
• Installing GRP fibreglass roofing systems.
• Fitting torch-on felt to a garage roof.
• Replacing rotten or water-damaged roof decking.
• Repairing leaking garage roof edges and trims.
• Repairing storm-damaged garage roofs.
• Renewing roof coverings on single and double garages.
• Replacing roof boards before fitting a new covering.
• Flat garage roof inspections and maintenance.

These leads may suit general roofers, flat roofing specialists, EPDM installers, felt roofers and GRP contractors.

Bay Window Roof Leads

Bay window roofs are usually small, but they often involve detailed waterproofing around walls, corners, frames and flashings.

Bay window roofing enquiries may include:

• Finding and repairing a bay window roof leak.
• Replacing old lead sheet roofing.
• Installing EPDM on a bay window roof.
• Installing a GRP fibreglass covering.
• Repairing or replacing worn roofing felt.
• Repairing flashings around bay window frames.
• Replacing rotten timber beneath the covering.
• Repairing small tiled bay window roofs.
• Renewing trims, joints and wall abutments.
• Replacing repeatedly patched bay roofs.

Some customers may only require a local repair, while others will be looking for a complete replacement using lead, felt, EPDM or fibreglass.

Roof Felt and Underlay Replacement Leads

Older pitched roofs often contain bitumen-based felt beneath the tiles or slates. Over time, this underlay can become brittle, torn or damaged around battens and fixings.

Roof felt and membrane enquiries may include:

• Replacing damaged felt beneath pitched roof tiles.
• Installing a modern breathable roofing membrane.
• Stripping and relaying roof tiles with new underlay.
• Replacing damaged roof battens during the work.
• Renewing roof underlay following storm damage.
• Replacing felt beneath slate roofs.
• Repairing local sections of torn underlay.
• Renewing felt on dormers and extensions.
• Replacing underlay where water enters during driving rain.
• Full pitched roof strip and re-cover projects.

These projects may lead to additional work where the contractor discovers damaged tiles, battens or timbers during inspection.

Lead Flashing Repair Leads

Lead flashing protects the joints around chimneys, rooflights, walls, dormers and other roof details. When the lead becomes loose, split or poorly pointed, water can enter the roof space.

Leadwork enquiries may include:

• Repointing loose chimney flashing.
• Replacing cracked or displaced step flashing.
• Renewing chimney soakers and cover flashing.
• Repairing leadwork around rooflights and skylights.
• Replacing flashing where a roof meets a wall.
• Repairing lead around dormer roofs.
• Replacing failed mortar-based flashing details.
• Repairing split or weathered lead sheet.
• Renewing leadwork around extensions.
• Replacing poorly installed flashing.

These leads may be suitable for general roofers as well as contractors who specialise in traditional leadwork and chimney repairs.

Roof Valley Repair Leads

Roof valleys carry a large amount of rainwater from adjoining roof slopes. Even a small fault can lead to significant water ingress, making valley repairs an important source of roofing work.

Roof valley enquiries may include:

• Repairing or replacing failed lead valleys.
• Installing new GRP valley liners.
• Removing and replacing mortar-filled valleys.
• Clearing valleys blocked by moss and debris.
• Replacing cracked valley tiles.
• Repairing valleys following storm damage.
• Removing and relaying tiles around a valley.
• Repairing leaks at valley junctions.
• Replacing corroded or split valley material.
• Investigating recurring valley leaks.

Some enquiries will involve a straightforward repair, while others may require the valley and surrounding roof covering to be stripped and renewed.

Ridge Tile Repair Leads

Ridge tiles can become loose when the bedding mortar cracks, shrinks or fails. Storm damage may also dislodge or break individual tiles.

Ridge tile enquiries may include:

• Repointing cracked ridge tile mortar.
• Rebedding loose or displaced ridge tiles.
• Replacing broken ridge tiles.
• Installing dry ridge systems.
• Repairing and rebedding hip tiles.
• Replacing ridge tiles damaged by storms.
• Renewing a full run of ageing ridge tiles.

How Roofing Leads Are Delivered

Speed matters when dealing with homeowner enquiries. For this reason, matching leads are delivered as quickly as possible after the customer submits their details.

Depending on your account settings, leads may be available through:

• The Leads Do Work mobile app.
• Email notifications.
• Your online contractor dashboard.
• Optional CRM integrations for suitable accounts.

The lead information should be reviewed carefully before contacting the customer. Reading the enquiry first allows you to understand the main problem and begin the conversation in a more professional way.

Roofing Lead Packs

Leads Do Work offers several lead pack sizes to suit different types of roofing business.

5-Lead Pack

A smaller pack can suit new members, sole traders or contractors who want to test the service before committing to a larger number of enquiries.

10-Lead Pack

A 10-lead pack may suit established roofers looking for a more regular supply of additional local opportunities.

20-Lead Pack

A larger lead pack may be suitable for roofing companies with several teams, wider coverage areas or capacity for more enquiries.

Current prices, account options, availability and full terms can be viewed during registration at leads.work.

What Happens After You Receive a Lead?

Once a lead reaches your account, you should review the information and contact the homeowner as soon as reasonably possible.

A good first conversation should help you confirm:

• The exact type of roofing problem.
• Where the damage is located.
• Whether the roof is currently leaking.
• The age and material of the roof.
• Whether the customer wants a repair or replacement.
• Whether photographs are available.
• The property's access arrangements.
• The customer's preferred timescale.
• Whether a site visit is required.

Some straightforward jobs may be suitable for an initial estimate based on photographs and measurements. However, most roofing work benefits from a site inspection before you provide a fixed quotation.

Tips for Converting Roofing Leads into Jobs

Respond Promptly

Homeowners requesting roofing prices may be contacted by more than one contractor. Calling quickly gives you a better chance of speaking to the customer while the enquiry is still fresh.

If the customer does not answer, leave a short and professional message explaining who you are and why you are calling.

Read the Enquiry Before Calling

Review the job description, postcode and any supplied notes before making contact. This avoids asking the customer to repeat information they have already provided.

Opening the conversation with a reference to their specific roofing problem can also show that you have taken the time to understand the enquiry.

Introduce Your Business Clearly

Tell the homeowner your name, business name and the type of roofing work you carry out. Explain that you are calling about the roofing price request they submitted online.

A clear introduction can reduce confusion and make the customer more comfortable discussing the project.

Ask Useful Questions

Good questions can help you decide whether the project suits your business and whether a visit is worthwhile.

For example, ask when the problem started, whether water is entering the property and whether any previous repairs have been attempted.

Ask for Photographs

Photographs of the full roof, damaged area and access route can help you understand the likely work before travelling to the property.

They may also help you prepare the right equipment and materials for an inspection.

Arrange Visits Quickly

When a site visit is needed, try to offer the customer a clear choice of dates and times. Confirm the appointment by text or email where possible.

Turning up on time and communicating clearly can make a strong first impression.

Provide a Detailed Written Quotation

A clear quotation makes it easier for the customer to understand and compare your offer.

Your quotation should normally include:

• The area of roof being repaired or replaced.
• The existing materials being removed.
• The new roofing materials being installed.
• Any timber, battens or decking included.
• Scaffolding or access equipment.
• Waste removal and disposal.
• The estimated start date.
• The expected duration of the work.
• The total price and VAT status.
• The deposit and payment terms.
• The workmanship or material guarantee.

Follow Up Professionally

If the customer has not responded after receiving your quotation, a polite follow-up call or message may help.

Avoid placing too much pressure on the homeowner. A simple message asking whether they have any questions is usually more effective.

Why Some Roofing Leads Do Not Convert

Not every lead will result in paid work. This is normal with any form of marketing or customer enquiry service.

A customer may decide to delay the work, choose another contractor, change the project or decide that the price is outside their budget.

Other factors may include:

• The customer receiving a faster response from another roofer.
• The work not matching your selected service area.
• The property being outside your normal travel distance.
• The homeowner only seeking an early price estimate.
• The customer choosing a recommendation from a friend or relative.
• Your quotation being higher than competing prices.
• The proposed timescale not matching the customer's needs.

Roofing leads should be treated as sales opportunities rather than guaranteed jobs. Contractors who respond quickly, communicate well and provide clear quotations are more likely to achieve stronger results.
