Home / Your trade / Roofers
RoofingRoofing is the only trade managed by the sky. Rain moves the day, wind cancels it, and the scaffold quietly bills you either way. Our agent watches the forecast against your diary, chases every hire home, and turns your crew into a lead-spotting machine every time they’re up a ladder.
We solve the day-to-day problems of running your business · Built on a system running daily in a real London field-service company · Standard automations from £995 · No long contracts · Plain English, always
“Is tomorrow still on with this weather?”
The agent checks the forecast against tomorrow's outdoor jobs every evening. Heavy rain or high wind coming? You get flagged tonight with indoor or covered jobs suggested as swaps — the crew get the answer before they ask.
“Is the scaffold still on hire at Beechwood?”
Scaffold and tower hire is tracked like keys: a bold reminder in the responsible person's brief every morning until it's off-hired — with the reference logged. Hire charges stop bleeding silently.
“Do I need the harness kit today?”
Fragile roof, work at height beyond the standard, or a chimney in the notes? The fall-arrest kit and edge protection load themselves onto the morning brief — and the two-man rule puts both names on the job.
“The customer's asking about the flat roof too — who do I tell?”
The agent. Photos and a voice note from the roof, and a quotable lead card with images lands with the office before the ladder's down.
“How many tiles do I order for this?”
Measurements in the job notes turn into a materials list — tiles, battens, membrane and fixings quantified from the roof size — checked once by you, remembered forever.
“Where do the insurance photos go?”
Storm-damage jobs need evidence. Every photo files to the job's own thread, dated and named — ready for the loss adjuster without a single glove-box archaeology dig.
Every scenario below is drawn from the working system — configured for roofing contractors. The conversations show exactly what your crew would see on their phones.
40mph gusts forecast from 10am. When do you find out — tonight, or on the roof?
Every evening the agent checks the forecast against tomorrow's jobs. Wind over your threshold on an exposed pitch? You're flagged at 8pm with a suggested swap — the fascia job under cover, or the indoor loft insulation.
One reply from you approves the new plan; every crew member's evening message updates with the new site and time. Nobody drives to a job that can't happen.
What does a forgotten scaffold cost per week? And who was supposed to remember it?
The agent treats every hire — scaffold, towers, chutes — like a client key: logged out with a name, bolded in that person's brief every morning until the off-hire reference is logged.
The reminder is relentless so you don't have to be. When the job's snagged and signed off, one message books the strike and logs the reference.
Your roofer spots three slipped tiles and a cracked ridge next door. Does that become a job — or a story he tells in the van?
He photographs it from the scaffold and voice-notes the agent. It extracts the lead, asks for the house number and any contact he got, and files a card with images to Storm Leads.
After a big blow, that flow runs all week — your crew become surveyors, and your quote book fills itself.
Asbestos cement sheets on tomorrow's barn job. Does the crew find out from the notes — or from the crack underfoot?
Fragile roof in the notes means the brief leads with it: crawl boards, edge protection, harness kit, and both names on the job — your working-at-height rules applied without you repeating them.
An ordinary tile swap the next day? None of that appears. The brief only ever carries what the day needs.
Three merchant runs a week per van — where are those receipts tonight?
Photographed into the chat before the engine starts. The agent reads the vendor and amount, files each one per person per job, and the 5:30 nudge catches anything missed — only for those who worked.
When the lead and slate prices move, you'll see per-job material spend without a spreadsheet evening.
Three email automations we build most often for roofing contractors — written once in your voice, sent forever at the right moment.
Big-ticket quotes with nervous customers. Staged, patient follow-ups keep you in the running without a single awkward call.
The day the scaffold comes off, the customer gets a thank-you, the drone photos of the finished roof, and a review link.
Every past customer gets 'shall we check it before the storms?' — inspection revenue that books itself every autumn.
