If you’re looking for more roofing leads or guttering leads, Leads Do Work helps you get new homeowner enquiries delivered in real time to your mobile app. Whether you focus on roof repairs, re-roofs, gutter replacement, gutter cleaning, soffits and fascias, flat roofs, downpipes or emergency call-outs, the aim is simple: help you keep a steadier flow of work coming in without relying on one-off referrals alone.

With Leads Do Work, contractors can choose lead packs of 5, 10 or 20 leads, delivered in real time to the app, or for larger accounts we can support a pay-per-lead approach. That gives smaller firms a predictable way to buy work opportunities, while larger businesses can scale in a way that better matches their sales team and coverage area.

Built for roofing and guttering contractors

Roofing and guttering work can be seasonal, weather-driven and highly local. A sudden run of storms can create strong demand for repairs, while spring and summer often bring more replacement, cleaning and improvement jobs. That is why many contractors want leads delivered quickly, straight to a phone, so they can react before the diary fills up elsewhere.

Leads Do Work is designed around that reality. Instead of waiting for work to come only from word of mouth, you can buy a pack that suits your current capacity and receive enquiries as they come in. If your team is larger, covers a wider area or needs higher volume, a pay-per-lead arrangement can make more sense.

Choose the lead model that suits your business

5 leads

A good fit for sole traders, small local firms, or contractors who want to test a lead source without overcommitting. This can work well if you mainly want to fill gaps in the diary or pick up extra roofing and guttering work around existing jobs.

10 leads

Often a sensible middle ground for established contractors who want a steadier pipeline of quote opportunities without jumping straight into a high-volume account.

20 leads

Best suited to businesses with the admin and estimating capacity to respond quickly to more enquiries. If you have multiple fitters, dedicated office staff or cover several postcode areas, a larger pack can help keep the team busy.

Pay per lead

For larger accounts, pay-per-lead can be a better structure. It offers flexibility for companies that already have systems in place to handle volume and want to buy opportunities as they come through, rather than working within a fixed pack.

Real-time delivery to the mobile app

Speed matters with homeowner enquiries. Many leads are won by the contractor who responds first, communicates clearly and sounds organised. Delivering leads in real time to a mobile app gives contractors the chance to review the enquiry quickly, call while the homeowner is still engaged, and arrange a survey or quote without delay.

That matters especially for jobs such as:

• emergency roof repairs
• slipped or missing tiles
• leaking gutters
• overflowing downpipes
• storm damage
• fascia and soffit issues
• flat roof leaks
• full gutter replacement
• re-roofing enquiries

Why contractors use lead services

Most roofing and guttering businesses do not rely on a single source of work. Many mix referrals, repeat customers, van branding, trade directories, organic search, paid ads and lead platforms. The appeal of lead services is that they can help fill the pipeline more quickly when a business wants to grow, expand into a new area or smooth out quieter periods.

The main difference between platforms is usually the commercial model. Some use fixed monthly membership, some use pay-per-lead, and some use credit systems. Current official platform pages show that Checkatrade positions itself around postcode-based plans and a regular flow of leads for a fixed monthly cost, MyBuilder charges when a homeowner shortlists and shares contact details, Bark uses credits to contact leads, and Rated People currently promotes a monthly subscription with unlimited leads for many jobs under £4,000.

How Leads Do Work compares with larger UK lead providers

No single platform is perfect for every contractor. The right one depends on your trade, margins, response speed, sales process and postcode coverage.

Leads Do Work

Leads Do Work is best suited to contractors who want a simpler roofing and guttering-specific route to buying work opportunities, with fixed lead packs of 5, 10 or 20, real-time app delivery, and the option for pay-per-lead on larger accounts. It is a practical fit for firms that want more control over spend than an open-ended credit system, but more flexibility than a long-term high-cost listing model.

Checkatrade

Checkatrade operates more like a membership-and-visibility platform. Its current trade pages say businesses choose their postcode area, select the amount of leads they want each year, and then receive a regular flow of leads for a monthly cost. Checkatrade also places heavy emphasis on reviews, profile strength and broad consumer visibility. That can be attractive for established firms, but it may suit contractors who are happy with an ongoing membership model rather than a smaller pack-based approach.

Rated People

Rated People currently promotes a monthly subscription model with access to a large volume of jobs, and says no more than three tradespeople can buy the same lead. It can suit contractors who want regular quoting opportunities and are comfortable competing on speed, availability and sales process.

MyBuilder

MyBuilder states that there are no joining fees or membership fees, and that you only pay when the homeowner shortlists you and shares their contact details. That can appeal to contractors who prefer to pay at the shortlist stage rather than commit to subscription packs or monthly membership, though the economics depend heavily on how often you get shortlisted and how strong your close rate is.

Bark

Bark uses a credit-based system. Its pricing page says professionals buy credits and spend them to contact the customers they choose, with the lead cost shown upfront before responding. Bark also says it sends leads for free initially and charges only when you decide to contact the customer. This can work for trades who want freedom to cherry-pick, but some contractors prefer the predictability of lead packs rather than buying credits that are spent one enquiry at a time.

TrustATrader and similar directory-style platforms

Industry comparison guides still place TrustATrader among the main UK trade platforms, but more as a reputation and directory play than a straightforward pack-based lead channel. These can work well for long-term trust building, but they are often different in feel from a real-time lead-delivery model.

What makes Leads Do Work different?

For many roofing and guttering firms, the attraction is the balance between control, speed and simplicity.

With Leads Do Work:

• you can choose a 5, 10 or 20 lead pack
• leads are delivered in real time to the mobile app
• larger businesses can move to pay per lead
• the model is easy to understand
• it is built around the way roofing and guttering contractors actually work

That means less guesswork around credits, and less pressure to commit to a broader membership model if what you really want is a practical way to add more homeowner enquiries into the pipeline.

Which contractors is this best for?

Leads Do Work can work well for:

• self-employed roofers who want extra local jobs
• guttering specialists looking for steady quote opportunities
• fascia and soffit installers
• flat roofing firms
• storm damage and emergency repair contractors
• larger roofing companies with office-based sales teams
• multi-trade businesses that also cover roofing and roofline work

Other ways to get more roofing and guttering work

Lead platforms can help, but most strong trade businesses build a wider marketing mix around them.

Google Business Profile

A well-optimised Google Business Profile can help you appear in local map results, especially for searches such as “roofer near me” or “gutter repairs in [town]”. Good photos, regular reviews and accurate service areas all help.

SEO on your own website

A proper website with pages for roofing repairs, new roofs, gutter replacement, gutter cleaning, fascias and soffits, plus service-area pages, can help generate enquiries directly through Google over time.

Google Ads

Google Ads can work well for urgent intent searches such as leaking roof repairs or gutter replacement, especially if you have strong landing pages and quick response times. It does, however, require budget control and careful postcode targeting.

Van livery and local branding

For many roofing and guttering firms, branded vans, workwear and site boards still generate strong local awareness, especially when your vehicles are regularly seen in the areas you want more work from.

Referrals and review generation

Asking every satisfied customer for a review and a recommendation is still one of the best long-term ways to reduce lead cost. Reviews also improve conversion when a paid lead or website enquiry checks you out before calling.

Social media and before-and-after content

Facebook, Instagram and even TikTok can work surprisingly well for showing completed roofing and guttering projects. Before-and-after photos, drone shots, repair videos and storm-damage updates can all help build trust.

Merchant and trade-counter relationships

Relationships with builders’ merchants, scaffolders, roofline suppliers and related trades can lead to regular introductions and repeat work over time.

The main point

If you want more roofing and guttering work, the best strategy is usually not relying on one source alone. A good lead service can help fill the pipeline quickly, while your own reviews, website, vans, referrals and local reputation help reduce dependency over time.

Leads Do Work is designed to give contractors a straightforward route to more enquiries through real-time app delivery, pack options of 5, 10 or 20 leads, and pay-per-lead for larger accounts. For firms that want a practical, flexible way to buy roofing and guttering opportunities, it offers a clear alternative to monthly directory memberships, shortlist-fee systems and credit-led platforms.
