For Roofers and Roofing Contractors

You Cannot Answer the Phone When You Are on the Roof

Storm damage. Emergency call-out. A homeowner who needs a quote before the insurance assessor comes. You cannot leave the job to answer — and every hour you do not call back is an hour a competitor gets there first.

Propel fixes this. Every call answered, every lead captured, every quote request logged — 24/7, 365 days a year.

Missed Calls Cost More Than Your Pride

A homeowner with storm damage calls three roofers. The first two do not answer. The third calls back within 20 minutes and gets the job. That job was worth £2,500 to the roofer who picked up.

A single missed call after bad weather can cost you £1,000–£5,000 in lost revenue. Not because you were the wrong choice — just the wrong number at the wrong time.

Propel solves the problem of being busy doing the job you need to be doing to get paid.

How Propel AI Works for Roofers

When a homeowner calls about a roofing job, Propel answers immediately — captures the property address, describes the issue, checks insurance involvement, and records their preferred contact time.

  • Emergency calls routed to you. Storm damage and urgent leaks get an immediate SMS alert so you can call back in minutes.
  • Property and issue captured. Roof type, pitch, suspected damage type — all logged before you call back.
  • Insurance status confirmed. Whether the caller is claiming or paying privately — categorised for your callback priority.
  • Clean summary, every time. Delivered via SMS and email so you can quote from the van before you call back.

Every Call Type Roofers Receive — Handled

Not every call is an emergency quote. Here is exactly what Propel handles on your behalf:

  • Emergency storm damage callsWater getting in, tiles blown off, structural concerns — immediate routing to you with property details.
  • Insurance quote requestsLoss adjusters and homeowners needing a professional roof inspection for a claim — captured with policy details.
  • Scheduled survey bookings homeowners wanting a formal roof inspection before buying or selling — appointment slots requested and logged.
  • General repair enquiriesPointing, guttering, flat roof repairs — job type and urgency captured for prioritised callback.
  • Price and availability queries"How much to replace a section of felt flat roof?" — answered accurately based on your configured pricing guidance.

Storm Season Is Your Best Revenue — Do Not Miss It

After any significant wind or storm event, roofing enquiry volume spikes 300–500% within 48 hours. Every roofer who can respond fastest captures the most work.

If your phone goes to voicemail for those 48 hours, you miss the window. Insurance work, emergency repairs, and refagging jobs all get allocated to whoever answered first.

Propel means you never miss that window. Calls answered at 11pm on a Saturday, captured and routed, ready for you to call back first thing Monday morning.

"I was on a roof in Leicester when a storm came through. By the time I checked my phone 3 hours later, I had 6 missed calls. I thought I had lost the lot. Propel had captured all of them. I called back 5 of the 6 and got 4 jobs. That week paid for a year of the service."
