Roofing leads for UK roofers and roofing companies

Choose pre-paid packs of 5, 10 or 20 roofing leads if you want a simple way to top up your diary, or speak to us about guaranteed weekly lead volumes on a pay-per-lead basis if you’re a larger roofing company with capacity.

Two ways to receive leads

  • Mobile app (recommended): leads arrive instantly with the homeowner’s details and job description so you can call or message quickly.
  • For larger accounts: leads can also be emailed and/or sent to your CRM (so your office team can handle follow-ups).

How Leads Do Work roofing leads work

Pre-paid lead packs (best for smaller businesses)

Ideal for sole traders and small teams who want control over spend:

  • Packs of 5, 10 or 20 leads
  • Delivered in real time to the mobile app
  • Great for filling gaps in the diary without committing to a weekly volume

Guaranteed weekly volume (best for larger roofing companies)

Ideal if you have teams, admin support, and you want consistency:

  • Agree a guaranteed number of leads per week
  • Pay per lead
  • Lead delivery via app, email, and/or CRM integration depending on how you work

What types of roofing leads can you get?

Depending on your service area and capacity, roofing leads may include:

  • Roof repairs (tile/slate, pitched roofs, storm damage, leaks)
  • Flat roof repairs and replacements (felt/EPDM/GRP)
  • Ridge and hip repairs, verge repairs, re-bedding/repointing
  • Leadwork and flashing repairs
  • Guttering/soffits/fascias (if you choose to cover roofline work)
  • Chimney-related roofing work (flashing, flaunching, repointing, leak repairs)

Why speed matters with roofing leads

In roofing, the quickest responder often wins. Homeowners usually contact more than one roofer, especially for leaks. The faster you can:

  • call,
  • ask the right questions,
  • and book a visit (or quote from photos),
    the higher your conversion rate tends to be.

How we help you win more roofing jobs

Better matching

We aim to match leads based on location and job type so you’re not wasting time on work you don’t want.

Flexible delivery

Use the app if you’re on the tools, or route leads into email/CRM if you have an office team.

TradePoint savings (10% discount)

Once you join, you can access a TradePoint discount for materials at B&Q/TradePoint. TradePoint’s loyalty discount can reach 10% depending on qualifying spend (for example, spending thresholds apply and the discount applies for a set period).
Your TradePoint discount card is sent by post within a couple of weeks of joining (typical delivery times can vary).

Other ways roofers can get more work (and how they compare)

Roofing leads are only one route to more jobs. Most successful roofing businesses use a mix of the options below.

1) Google Business Profile (local “near me” work)

Best for: consistent local enquiries, long-term growth
What to do: photos, reviews, services, service areas, regular posts, fast responses.

2) SEO (ranking your own website)

Best for: higher-quality leads over time, lower cost per job long-term
Reality: takes time, but can become your cheapest lead source once it’s working.

3) Google Ads (PPC)

Best for: fast volume in specific areas
Watch-outs: competitive, costs can rise quickly in busy postcodes. Landing pages + tracking matter.

4) Lead platforms and directories (pay-per-lead or subscription)

These can work, but costs and competition vary.

  • MyBuilder: lead fees are shown before you respond, and can start from £7 depending on the job.
  • Rated People: offers subscription-style access (including “unlimited” style plans), typically positioned as a monthly fee model.
  • Bark: uses a credit system where you pay to contact customers you choose.
  • Checkatrade: often positioned as a subscription model for trades (details vary by package and trade).

The key difference: on many platforms, several roofers can chase the same job, so your speed, reviews, and sales process matter as much as the lead source.

5) Trade associations and trust schemes

Will joining help you get more jobs? It can — mainly because it builds trust and can improve visibility through “find a contractor” directories.

  • NFRC: membership benefits include credibility and promotion via their contractor search, and NFRC highlights visibility on their website.
  • TrustMark: government-endorsed quality scheme; TrustMark-registered businesses are described as vetted and committed to standards/customer service.
  • Competent Person Schemes: joining a competent person scheme can allow self-certification for certain work (relevant in some roofing contexts).

Trade bodies won’t replace marketing, but they can improve trust and help convert quotes into jobs.

Where roofers buy materials and tools in the UK

Most roofing businesses use a mix of:

  • Local roofing merchants (often best for availability and trade pricing)
  • National suppliers for specialist membranes, insulation, lead and fixings
  • TradePoint/B&Q for day-to-day consumables and collection convenience (and discounts where applicable)

What to check before buying roofing leads (and before paying any provider)

If you’re comparing roofing lead providers, ask these questions:

  1. Is the lead exclusive or shared?
  2. How quickly do I receive it? (speed wins jobs)
  3. Do I control job types and radius?
  4. Is the homeowner verified/validated?
  5. What details do I get? (address, job description, urgency, photos)
  6. What’s the refund/credit policy for bad data?
  7. How many other roofers get the same lead?
