What people search for when their roof needs work

A leak, a flat roof and a new roof are different jobs with different customers. Each one needs its own page on your site.

A quick template or a site built around your roofing work
There are template sites that promise a roofing website in a couple of days. You pick a design, add your logo and you’re online.
That can be enough to look the part. The trouble is roofing sells on proof. A homeowner about to spend thousands on a new roof wants to see roofs you’ve done, know you’re insured and know who they’re dealing with. One page that says “roofing” can’t show that for repairs, flat roofs and new roofs all at once.
What sets you apart is a site that shows each job properly, with your own photos, and makes it easy to pick up the phone.
What a roofing website needs
A page for each job
Repairs, flat roofs, new roofs, guttering, fascias and soffits, and chimneys. Each gets its own page and its own call button. If flat roofs are the work you want more of, they sit at the front of the site.
Before and after photos
Real photos of your own roofs. A before and after of a re-roof tells a customer more than any stock photo. Take them on the job and send them over with one sentence on what you did.
Guarantees and insurance up front
If you give a guarantee on your work, say how long and what it covers. Show your insurance. If you’re a member of a trade body, such as CORC, we show it where customers make up their minds. Only the ones you actually have.
Pages for the towns you cover
Pick the towns you want more work from and we build a page for each. We’ll say if a town isn’t worth one.
Reviews on the page
Your Google reviews do a lot of the selling. We show them on the pages where customers are deciding.
Click to call and a quote form with photos
Your number sits at the top of every page and one tap rings you. For people who’d rather not call, there’s a short quote form where they can add a photo of the problem.

How a build works
1. The conversation
A proper chat about your business, the towns you cover and the jobs you want more of. No script. Just questions.
2. The research
We look at your current site, what people search for in your area and what the other roofers near you are doing. Then we plan a page for each job and town that’s worth it.
3. The build
We build the site. You check it and tell us what’s not right. We’ll need photos of your work and your feedback along the way.
4. Going live
Your site goes live on your own domain with tracking set up. We aim to have your new site live within six weeks.
Questions about roofing websites
Do I own the website?
Yes. The website, the domain, the hosting and the words are all yours. Nobody can hold your site back if you decide to leave.
Can I add my own job photos?
Yes, and we’d rather you did. Send them over whenever you finish a job worth showing and we’ll add them.
I already have a website. Do I need a new one?
Not always. Put your company name in the review form and we’ll go through your site. If it’s fine, we’ll say so. If it’s holding you back, we’ll show you why.
Will my website show on Google?
A good website is the base. It’s built so Google can understand your jobs and your towns. But a website on its own won’t do all the work. Your Google profile, your reviews and ongoing local SEO for tradesmen do the rest. SEO for roofers →
Do you write the words?
Yes. We write every page for you. You check it over. We just need a chat about your jobs and towns first.
Do you work with roofers outside the Midlands?
Yes. Hinckley is our base, but we take on roofing firms anywhere in the UK.
