AI SMS for UK Roofing Contractor Companies

Every incoming text receives a branded reply in your company name within seconds. A builder's precise text — 'extension ready for roofing Wednesday, 40sqm, Marley Edgemere Smooth Grey, dry verge both sides, lead apron to existing wall, scaffold up, Summertown' — is acknowledged with every specification retained. A homeowner's worried text — 'tiles look bad on our roof, should we get it looked at?' — prompts questions about the tile type, whether any tiles are missing or cracked, and whether water is entering the property.

The reply reads like a roofer checking messages on the scaffold during a material delivery wait — specification-aware, practical, and direct. It uses your company name and references tile types and roof features. Homeowners texting roofers about their most important weatherproofing asset expect a knowledgeable reply that shows you understand the difference between a repointed ridge and a dry ridge system.

Current builder clients text about material changes, start date shifts, and additional scope. The AI captures these and flags them separately from new enquiries. Your dashboard differentiates a new homeowner's re-roof request from an existing builder client switching from Redland 49 to Marley Modern on the same extension project.

AI SMS is £23/month as a channel add-on. A standard domestic re-roof generates £4,000 to £12,000 in revenue. Capturing one re-roof through a rapid text — while you nailed battens on another property — produces revenue that exceeds the annual channel cost from one project.

Send a reply in any thread and the AI yields control to you on the spot. During estimating and material ordering — manage texts directly. During active roofing shifts — stripping, felting, battening, and tiling — let the AI handle all commercial messages while your hands stay on the roof.

Text messages containing property addresses, roof specifications, damage descriptions, insurance references, and contact details are encrypted and stored on UK and EU servers under UK GDPR. Data goes only to you. Nothing is shared with competing roofers or repurposed for any secondary use.
