Felt roofing Job Leads

Get Felt Roofing Leads in Your Local Area

Felt-Roof.co.uk works with Leads Do Work to connect roofing contractors with homeowners and businesses looking for felt roofing repairs, replacement and other flat roofing services.

If you are an experienced roofer and want to increase your workload, you can apply to join the Leads Do Work contractor network. Once your account is active, suitable enquiries can be delivered to you in real time through the Leads Do Work mobile app.

Customers submit their details online because they have a genuine roofing requirement. They may have a leaking garage roof, a damaged extension roof, an ageing felt covering or a larger commercial flat roofing project. Each enquiry includes information about the job and the location, helping you decide whether it suits your business.

You remain in control of the areas you cover and the types of roofing leads you want to receive. Lead packs are available in bundles of 5, 10 and 20, allowing sole traders and larger roofing companies to choose an option that suits their workload and available budget.

How Felt Roofing Leads Work

Leads Do Work is designed to give roofing contractors a straightforward way to find customers who are actively requesting quotations.

Rather than spending time contacting people who may not be ready to proceed, you receive enquiries from property owners who have already described the work they need and asked to hear from local roofers.

1. A customer submits a roofing enquiry
   The homeowner, landlord, business or property manager completes an online form with details of the roof, the problem and the property location.
2. The enquiry is matched with suitable roofers
   The system checks the job type and postcode against the contractors who cover that area.
3. The lead is delivered in real time
   Matching enquiries are made available through the Leads Do Work mobile app, allowing you to view new opportunities quickly.
4. You contact the customer
   You can discuss the job, ask further questions and arrange a roof inspection where necessary.
5. You provide your quotation
   Any survey, quotation and roofing contract are handled directly between your business and the customer.

Receiving the lead does not guarantee that you will win the work. Your success will depend on factors such as how quickly you respond, your communication, availability, reputation, quotation and the customer's requirements.

Lead Packs for Different Roofing Businesses

Contractors can choose from subscription packs containing 5, 10 or 20 leads. This gives you flexibility over the number of opportunities you receive and can help you manage demand around your existing workload.

5-Lead Pack

A smaller pack can suit sole traders, new Leads Do Work members or roofing firms that want to test the service before increasing their lead volume.

It may also be useful when you only need to fill a small gap in your diary or want additional work in a particular area.

10-Lead Pack

A 10-lead pack can suit established roofers who want a regular flow of local enquiries alongside recommendations and repeat customers.

This option may provide a practical balance between lead volume and the time needed to contact customers, visit properties and prepare quotations.

20-Lead Pack

A larger pack may suit roofing companies with several surveyors, sales staff or installation teams. It can also be useful for businesses covering a wider area or looking to increase their workload more quickly.

Before selecting a pack, consider how many enquiries your team can respond to properly. Buying more leads than you can follow up may reduce your chances of converting them into paying work.

Real-Time Lead Delivery Through the Mobile App

New roofing enquiries can be delivered through the Leads Do Work mobile app in real time. This allows you to check opportunities while you are on site, travelling between jobs or working away from the office.

The app helps contractors:

• View newly available roofing leads
• See the job location
• Read the customer's description of the work
• Check the type of roofing enquiry
• Respond while the customer is actively looking for quotes
• Manage leads without relying on a desktop computer
• Keep new opportunities in one place
• Build a more organised follow-up process

Fast delivery is particularly useful for urgent roof repairs. A homeowner with water entering a garage, extension or business premises will often want to speak to a roofer as soon as possible.

• Business contact details
• References or examples of completed work
• A professional approach to customer service

• Responsible use of customer information

The exact checks and acceptance criteria are managed by Leads Do Work. Completing the signup form does not automatically guarantee approval.

Choose the Areas You Want to Cover

You do not need to receive enquiries from every part of the country. Contractors can set the areas they want to cover, helping them focus on work that is practical for their business.

Your chosen coverage might include:

• Your home postcode area
• Nearby towns and villages
• A group of selected postcode districts
• A wider county or regional area
• Areas close to current projects
• Locations where you want to expand

Think carefully about travelling time, fuel costs and the value of the average job. A small repair enquiry a long distance away may be less suitable than a full replacement job in the same location.

Why Roofing Lead Generation Can Be Useful

Many roofing companies rely heavily on recommendations. Word-of-mouth work can be valuable because the customer already has some confidence in the business. However, recommendations are not always consistent enough to keep a diary full throughout the year.

Lead generation can provide another source of opportunities alongside your existing marketing. It can be particularly helpful when:

• You have gaps between larger roofing projects
• You want more work in a specific postcode area
• You have taken on another roofing team
• You want to grow beyond personal recommendations
• You have recently started trading independently
• You are moving into felt or flat roofing work
• You want to reduce seasonal quiet periods
• You are expanding into a nearby town or county
• You need additional repair work for a small-jobs team
• You want more replacement enquiries for a larger installation team

Paid leads should not necessarily replace every other form of marketing. Many successful roofing businesses use several channels so they are not dependent on a single source of work.

Other Ways Roofers Can Find Work in the UK

There are many ways to promote a roofing company. Each marketing channel has different costs, timescales and levels of customer intent.

Customer Recommendations

Recommendations from previous customers remain one of the strongest sources of roofing work. A satisfied customer may recommend you to neighbours, friends, relatives or local businesses.

You can encourage referrals by:

• Completing work on time
• Keeping the property tidy
• Explaining the work clearly
• Providing written guarantees
• Returning calls after the job
• Asking satisfied customers to recommend you
• Leaving business cards or contact details

The main limitation is that referral work can be unpredictable. Even a well-established roofer may experience quiet periods.

Repeat Customers

Previous customers may return for further roofing work or ask you to help with another property. Landlords and commercial clients can be particularly valuable because they may manage several buildings.

Keep accurate customer records and make it easy for people to contact you again. You should only send marketing messages where you have the appropriate permission.

Google Business Profile

A well-maintained Google Business Profile can help your company appear when people search for roofers in the local area.

Your profile should include:

• The correct business name
• Your telephone number
• Areas covered
• Opening hours
• Roofing services offered
• Photographs of completed work
• Regular updates
• Customer reviews

Local search visibility can produce valuable enquiries, although building a strong profile usually takes time and regular effort.

Your Own Roofing Website

A professional website gives potential customers somewhere to check your services, work examples and contact information.

A useful roofing website can include:

• Separate pages for repairs and replacement
• Pages for felt, EPDM and GRP roofing
• Location pages for the areas you cover
• Before-and-after photographs
• Customer reviews
• Insurance information
• Guarantee details
• An enquiry form
• A telephone number that is easy to find
• Information about your business

Search engine optimisation can help the website attract visitors over time. However, ranking well for competitive roofing searches may require ongoing content, technical work and link building.

Google Ads

Google Ads allows roofing companies to appear for searches such as “felt roof repair near me” or “garage roof replacement”. This can produce enquiries quickly, but you pay for clicks and not every visitor becomes a customer.

A successful campaign normally needs:

• Well-chosen keywords
• Location targeting
• Negative keywords
• Strong adverts
• Dedicated landing pages
• Call tracking
• Conversion tracking
• Regular budget management

Popular roofing terms can be expensive. Poorly managed advertising may spend money on unsuitable searches, DIY enquiries or jobs outside your area.

Facebook and Instagram Advertising

Social media adverts can help roofing businesses reach homeowners in selected locations. They may work well for visual services, especially when adverts include photographs of damaged roofs and completed projects.

However, social media users are not always actively searching for a roofer at the time they see the advert. This means the quality and urgency of enquiries can vary.

Organic Social Media

Posting completed work on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or other platforms can help demonstrate your experience.

Useful content can include:

• Before-and-after images
• Short repair videos
• Examples of failed felt roofs
• New roof installations
• Drainage improvements
• Customer testimonials
• Advice on spotting leaks
• Information about the areas you cover

Organic social media is usually low-cost, but it requires regular posting and may take time to produce enquiries.

Online Trade Directories

Trade directories and quotation websites can provide another source of leads. Some charge a membership fee, some charge per lead and others use a mixed model.

Before joining any directory, check:

• The total cost
• Contract length
• Cancellation terms
• Number of contractors receiving each enquiry
• Lead refund rules
• Areas covered
• Types of roofing work available
• How customer details are delivered

Local Directories and Community Websites

Local business directories, community websites and neighbourhood groups can help a roofer become known in a specific area.

These channels may produce occasional enquiries, but results can vary and some groups restrict direct advertising.

Leaflet Distribution

Leaflets can work well when distributed around an area where you are already completing a project. Nearby homeowners can see that your team is active locally.

A roofing leaflet should clearly show:

• Your business name
• Telephone number
• Website address
• Main roofing services
• Areas covered
• Insurance information
• Photographs or branding
• A clear reason to make contact

Leaflet campaigns require printing and distribution, and it may be difficult to measure results unless you use a dedicated telephone number or offer code.

Door-to-Door Marketing

Some roofing companies approach nearby properties while working in an area. This can produce local work, but it must be handled professionally.

Avoid high-pressure selling or suggesting that a roof needs urgent work without carrying out a proper inspection. Aggressive doorstep practices can damage your reputation and reduce trust in the wider roofing trade.

Site Boards and Vehicle Signwriting

Branded vans and site boards can generate enquiries from people who see your company working locally. This is particularly useful for visible projects such as garage roof replacement and extension roofing.

Make sure the telephone number and web address can be read easily. Always get permission before placing an advertising board at a customer's property.

Networking with Other Trades

Builders, plasterers, damp specialists, window installers, surveyors, architects and property maintenance firms may encounter customers who need roofing work.

Building relationships with reliable local trades can lead to regular referrals. In return, you may be able to recommend them when your roofing customers need other services.

Estate Agents and Letting Agents

Estate agents, letting agents and block managers often need roof inspections and repairs completed quickly. Building relationships with local agencies may lead to repeat work.

They may expect:

• Prompt attendance
• Written quotations
• Photographic reports
• Clear invoices
• Communication with tenants
• Reliable appointment times
• Proof of insurance

Commercial Contracts and Tendering

Larger roofing companies may tender for work from councils, housing associations, schools, facilities managers and commercial property owners.

Tendering can produce substantial projects, although the process may require:

• Formal accreditations
• Health and safety documentation
• Risk assessments and method statements
• Financial information
• Detailed pricing
• References
• Longer payment terms
• Dedicated administration time

Subcontracting for Larger Roofing Firms

Smaller roofing teams may find work as subcontractors for larger contractors. This can reduce the need to generate every job directly, although subcontract rates may be lower than the price charged to the end customer.

Always agree rates, payment terms, insurance responsibilities and the scope of work before starting.

Insurance Repair Work

Storm damage and escape-of-water claims can create roofing opportunities. Some businesses work directly with loss adjusters, claims companies or property repair networks.

This type of work may involve detailed reports, photographs, fixed pricing schedules and longer payment times.

Maintenance Plans

Offering annual inspections or planned maintenance can create repeat revenue, especially for landlords, schools and commercial properties with several flat roofs.

A maintenance visit might include:

• Checking seams and joints
• Inspecting roof edges
• Clearing outlets
• Removing debris
• Checking flashing
• Photographing developing problems
• Providing a written condition report
• Quoting for preventative repairs

Lead Generation Compared with Other Marketing Channels

How to Convert More Roofing Leads

Receiving a lead is only the first step. The way you handle the enquiry can make a substantial difference to your conversion rate.

Respond Promptly

Customers may be speaking to more than one roofer. Contacting them quickly gives you a better chance of discussing the work while the enquiry is still fresh.

Where you cannot call immediately, send a brief message confirming your name, business and when you will make contact.

Read the Lead Details

Review the job type, location and customer description before calling. This helps you ask relevant questions and avoids wasting the customer's time.

Introduce Your Business Clearly

Explain who you are, where the enquiry came from and why you are calling. Customers are more likely to engage when they understand the reason for the contact.

Ask Useful Questions

Depending on the job, ask:

• Where is the roof located?
• Is water actively entering the property?
• How large is the roof?
• How old is the existing covering?
• Has it been repaired before?
• Can the customer provide photographs?
• Is access straightforward?
• When would they like the work completed?
• Are they looking for repair or replacement quotes?

Book a Definite Appointment

Rather than saying you will call again sometime, agree a clear date and time for the inspection. Send a confirmation message where possible.

Arrive When Agreed

Reliability is an important part of winning roofing work. If you are delayed, let the customer know rather than missing the appointment without explanation.

Provide a Detailed Written Quote

A clear quotation can help your business stand out from contractors who only give a verbal price.

Include:

• The work to be completed
• The materials and roofing system
• Decking and timber allowances
• Insulation details
• Waste removal
• Scaffolding or access
• VAT status
• Estimated duration
• Payment terms
• Guarantee information

Follow Up Professionally

Customers may need time to compare quotations. A polite follow-up can remind them that you remain interested without placing them under pressure.

Avoid repeated calls or aggressive sales tactics. Good communication builds trust and can lead to future recommendations even when you do not win the original job.

Calculate the Value of Your Leads

When assessing any lead generation service, look beyond the cost of an individual enquiry. The more useful figure is the total return generated by the leads you purchase.

For example, consider:

• How many leads you contact successfully
• How many surveys you arrange
• How many quotations you provide
• How many jobs you win
• The average value of those jobs
• Your gross profit after labour and materials
• Whether customers produce repeat or referral work

A small repair may lead to a future garage roof replacement, another property owned by the same landlord or recommendations to neighbours. For that reason, the value of a customer may extend beyond the first job.

Manage Your Workload Carefully

Lead generation works best when you have enough time to follow up properly. Before purchasing a larger lead pack, make sure your business has capacity to:

• Answer or return calls
• Arrange surveys
• Travel to the selected areas
• Prepare written quotations
• Complete accepted work
• Handle customer questions
• Provide invoices and guarantees

If your diary becomes full, adjust your lead activity rather than allowing enquiries to go unanswered. A prompt and professional response protects both your reputation and the customer's experience.
