Google Ads for Roofers
& Guttering Companies
Homeowners with a leaking roof, blocked gutters or failed flashing need a reliable roofer immediately — and they go straight to Google. I build and manage Google Ads campaigns for roofing and guttering companies across the UK that put your business at the top of local search results the moment those high-intent searches happen, generating a consistent flow of emergency call-outs, planned re-roofing quotes and guttering contracts.

Why Roofing & Guttering Businesses Win
Big on Google Ads
Roofing and guttering searches are among the highest-intent queries on Google. When someone searches for a roofer, they are not browsing — they have a problem that needs solving, often urgently. A leaking roof, blocked gutters overflowing in winter, or storm damage does not wait. These customers search, click on the first credible result and call within minutes. Google Ads places your business at the very top of those results, above the directory sites and organic listings that take years to build. For roofing businesses, the combination of high job values, strong urgency and willingness to pay for quality makes Google Ads one of the highest-returning advertising channels available.
Why Work With Me
What You Get With a Google Ads Specialist
Who Understands Roofing Businesses
Roofing is a competitive, high-CPC environment on Google Ads. Getting a strong return requires precise local targeting, watertight negative keyword lists and ad copy built around the trust signals roofers need — accreditations, guarantees and reviews.
📍
Radius & Local Targeting
Roofing work is entirely local. I configure tight radius targeting, postcode bid adjustments and location exclusions so every click comes from a homeowner within your realistic travel distance. No spend wasted on jobs you would never quote for.
🚫
Roofing-Specific Negative Keywords
Without careful negatives, roofing ads drain budget on “roofing jobs”, “roofing felt price”, “how to fix a roof tile”, “roofing materials” and hundreds of DIY and job-seeker queries. I build comprehensive negative lists from day one and refine them every week.
⚡
Emergency vs Planned Campaigns
Emergency roof repairs and planned re-roofing projects are completely different searches with different customer urgency and different job values. Separate campaigns let you control spend, measure ROI and adjust messaging for each intent type.
☑
Trust & Accreditation Signals
NFRC membership, Checkatrade rating, manufacturer warranties, fully insured, decades of experience — these signals in your ads and on your landing page directly increase conversion rates. I test and optimise them systematically.
📱
Call Tracking & Lead Attribution
Most roofing enquiries come via phone. I configure call tracking from ads and from your landing page so you know exactly which keywords drive calls — not just clicks. Every optimisation is based on actual leads, not vanity metrics.
🌧
Seasonal Budget Management
Roofing demand spikes after storms, in autumn before winter and in spring for planned work. I adjust your campaign budgets and bidding automatically to match these demand patterns, maximising your visibility when customers are most ready to book.
Campaign Types
Google Ads Campaigns for Every
Type of Roofing & Guttering Work
Different roofing jobs attract different searchers with different booking timelines and different average values. Separate campaigns let you control where your budget goes and measure which work types generate the best return.
💥
Emergency Roof Repairs
Leaks, storm damage, missing tiles, failed flashings — homeowners searching in a panic who need someone today. Highest conversion rate of any roofing campaign. Copy focused on fast response, same-day availability and emergency call-out.
Customer urgency: Immediate — same day
🏠
Roof Replacement & Re-Roofing
Homeowners planning a full re-roof are comparison shopping and want multiple quotes. Higher job values (£3,000–£15,000+) with a slightly longer decision window. Campaigns built around experience, guarantees and portfolio.
Customer urgency: Days to weeks
🪜
Flat Roof Repairs & Installation
Flat roofing has its own distinct search demand. EPDM, felt, fibreglass and liquid rubber systems all attract specific searchers. Campaigns targeting flat roof specialists perform well with less competition than pitched roofing.
Customer urgency: Days to weeks
💧
Gutter Cleaning & Repairs
High-volume, lower-value work that generates consistent year-round enquiries. Blocked gutters, broken brackets, leaking joints and downpipe repairs. Good volume campaign for filling gaps between larger roofing jobs.
Customer urgency: Days, often seasonal
🪟
Fascias, Soffits & Bargeboards
UPVC replacement and repair searches are consistent and often combined with guttering work. Homeowners updating the exterior of their property. Good cross-sell opportunity alongside guttering campaigns.
Customer urgency: Weeks, planned
🏭
Commercial Roofing Contracts
Facilities managers, landlords and property developers searching for a commercial roofing contractor. Higher job values, longer decision cycle. Campaigns built around credentials, insurance level and contract track record.
Customer urgency: Weeks to months

FAQ
Questions About Google Ads
for Roofers & Guttering Companies
How much should a roofing company spend on Google Ads?
Roofing keywords are among the more competitive in the trades space, particularly in cities. Most roofing businesses I work with start between £400 and £900 per month in ad spend. The key factor is that even a modest roofing job (£500–£1,500) covers the cost of many months of ads. Re-roofing and commercial jobs return the ad spend many times over from a single conversion. I will recommend a specific budget after reviewing your area and job mix.
Can Google Ads generate emergency roofing call-outs?
Yes — this is one of the strongest use cases in the entire trades sector. When someone has a leaking roof during heavy rain, they search immediately and call the first trusted result they see. Emergency repair campaigns with call extensions and call-only ad formats can generate phone calls within hours of going live.
How do you target the right geographic area for my roofing business?
I use radius targeting centred on your base, with bid adjustments for distance. If you cover specific towns rather than a simple radius, I target at postcode or town level. I also apply exclusions for areas you do not cover, so no budget is wasted on enquiries you would have to turn away.
How do you stop ads showing for non-roofing searches?
Roofing accounts need extensive negative keyword lists. Without them you waste budget on “roofing jobs”, “roofing felt roll”, “how to repair a roof”, “roofing screws”, “roof lantern”, “roofing nail gun” and hundreds of other irrelevant searches. I build these from day one and expand them every week from your actual search term data.
Should I have separate campaigns for emergency repairs and planned work?
Yes. Emergency repair customers search with completely different terms, have immediate intent and convert on phone calls within minutes. Planned re-roofing customers research over days or weeks and often want a written quote. Separate campaigns with different bidding strategies, ad copy and landing pages perform significantly better than a single mixed campaign.
Does my website need to be updated before running Google Ads?
Your landing page needs to be clear and trustworthy: your services, your coverage area, your accreditations (NFRC, Checkatrade, TrustMark), your years of experience and a prominent phone number and contact form. I will advise specifically on what your page needs to convert paid roofing traffic. It does not need to be a large website.
Can you run Google Ads for guttering work separately from roofing?
Yes. Guttering-specific campaigns targeting gutter cleaning, gutter repairs, fascia replacement and downpipe repairs often achieve a lower CPC than roofing campaigns and generate good volume year-round. Many of my roofing clients run a separate guttering campaign alongside their main roofing campaign to maximise coverage.
Are there long-term contracts for your management service?
No. I work on a rolling monthly basis with no minimum term and no exit penalty. You continue because the enquiries keep coming — not because a contract forces you to. Most roofing clients stay for 18 months or longer because the return on investment is clear and consistent.
What Roofers & Guttering Companies Say After Working With Me
★★★★★
“I was sceptical about Google Ads because I had tried it myself and wasted money. Sakil rebuilt everything from scratch — proper ad groups, call tracking, tight geographic targeting. Within the first month I had 22 enquiries including four full re-roofing quotes. The emergency repair campaign alone generates enough work to keep my team busy through the winter.”
Steve L. — Roofing Contractor, Sheffield
★★★★★
“We do mainly guttering, fascias and soffits alongside roofing. Sakil set up separate campaigns for each and the results are brilliant. The guttering campaign runs at around £9 cost per lead — unbeatable when a full gutter replacement is worth £400–£800. We have grown from 2 to 5 vans in 18 months and Google Ads is a huge part of that.”
Mark & Tom B. — Roofing & Guttering Company, Nottingham
★★★★★
“We specialise in flat roofing — EPDM and fibreglass. Sakil built a campaign specifically targeting flat roof searches and the quality of enquiries is excellent. People calling already know what they want and the jobs are larger than typical pitched roof repairs. Cost per booked job works out around £45 on jobs averaging £2,500. The maths is obvious.”
