We don’t just do marketing. We understand roofers.
Roofing is one of the toughest trades to market well. The job values swing from small leak repairs to full re-roofs worth many times as much. The weather decides when the phone rings. The market is full of storm-chasing cowboys with magnetic signs and no insurance. We’ve been running marketing for roofing firms since 2016, including JLR Smith Roofing, a family-owned Leeds roofer.
A re-roof is worth many repairs. A small leak repair is an afternoon of work. A full re-roof is a fortnight, and worth many times as much. The marketing for each is completely different, and most roofing agencies just chase “roof repair near me” because the lead volume looks good. We focus you on the work that builds a real business.
Weather is your biggest ad spend variable. After a storm, “emergency roofer” searches spike hard. If you don’t have Google Ads running, you missed it. We ramp your bids when storms hit your patch, so you’re the first call, not the cowboy with a magnetic sign.
Trust signals carry far more weight here. Roofing has more rogue traders than any other trade. Customers know it. So Which? Trusted Trader status, NFRC membership, public liability cover and manufacturer-backed warranties (Sika, IKO, Bauder) are not optional, they’re the entire pitch. We put them in front of customers before they ask.
Seasonality is asymmetric. Spring is peak (post-winter storm damage). Autumn is steady (pre-winter checks). Winter is slow but high-value (emergency leaks). Summer is dead for repairs but peak for full re-roofs. We build your marketing calendar around that, not against it.
