Marketing systems for guttering and fascia installers: what actually works

The two jobs a guttering firm is really marketing

A blocked or leaking gutter after heavy rain is an emergency in the homeowner's mind. They search, they ring the first two numbers, they book whoever answers. That job might be £120. The same homeowner, six months later, might want the whole roofline replaced in uPVC for £3,000 and will get three quotes and take a fortnight.

So we scored providers on three practical things. Can the system catch the storm-week calls you miss while you are up a ladder? Can it quote a small job in minutes without a site visit turning into an evening of admin? And does it turn a £120 repair into a Google review, so the £3,000 enquiry six months later finds a firm with 90 reviews rather than nine? Our note on turning repair jobs into review flow explains the mechanics.

1. Riley Marketing

Best for: Sole trader and two-man roofline firms that want calls, quotes and reviews handled by one fixed-fee system

Riley Marketing's foundational growth system covers every link in the chain described above for £149 a month at the time of writing: an SEO-focused website with service and location pages, Google Business Profile optimisation, Google review automation including reactivation of past customers, missed call text back, and a CRM with lead status tracking and branded quote pages on your own domain.

For a guttering installer the pieces map neatly. Service and location pages mean a page for gutter repairs in each town you cover and another for fascia and soffit replacement, which is how the two different searches get found. Text back catches the storm-week calls that go unanswered. The quote page lets you send a small repair price from the van in a couple of minutes, and the review automation asks every repair customer, then works back through past ones.

The terms suit a small firm: built before you pay, no setup fee, unlimited revisions, cancel any time. Google Ads, Meta ads and local SEO are add-ons if you want to push harder in autumn. Founder Tom Riley has ten years in search and lead generation, led organic growth at an insurtech and has run his own lead generation sites, and clients deal with him directly.

The agency works with roofers, builders, window and door fitters and a range of other trades, and has built a site for Anglia Decor, an industrial painting and roofing contractor, as well as SET Building & Brickwork in Essex.

2. One Base Media

Best for: Roofline firms wanting an established, full-service trades agency with a deep case study library

One Base Media in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, has worked with trades since 2012 and says it has helped more than 1,000 local trades businesses. It provides web design, SEO, Google Ads, exclusive job leads and branding, and publishes a large library of free educational content. Roofers, double glazing firms and building contractors are among its listed trades, which places guttering and fascia work squarely within its range.

It charges one monthly payment with no contracts, with specific prices on a separate pricing page. Case studies cover roofing, driveways and landscaping, windows and more, and it holds Google Partner status. Automation such as text back or review requests is not described as a named feature.

3. Get Work

Best for: Installers who want Google Ads enquiries delivered through a managed booking platform

Get Work, in Lytham St Annes, builds a custom landing page and Google Ads funnel per tradesperson and delivers the leads through its own lead management and job booking platform, with text notifications for new leads and a dashboard showing spend against job value. It is a Google Partner, says leads are exclusive, and works with trade associations.

Roofing is a named trade, so roofline searches fit. The model is strongest for the urgent repair side, where someone searching for a gutter repair today clicks an ad and fills in a form that you see within seconds. One roofing case study gives first-month revenue and return figures. Pricing sits on a separate page.

4. We Build Trades

Best for: Larger roofline and roofing firms wanting ads, follow-up and CRM in one managed platform

We Build Trades describes an AI-powered growth system joining a website, paid media across Google, Meta, TikTok and Bing, AI-powered lead follow-up and a CRM pipeline with reporting, with area exclusivity. Roofing is one of its named trades alongside heating, electrical and solar. It claims more than 300 trade companies as clients and a system refined since 2017.

There is no published pricing and no case studies. For a firm with several vans that wants everything run by one supplier, it is worth a conversation; for a sole trader the lack of any visible numbers is a reason to look elsewhere first.

5. Scale Through Us

Best for: Roofline firms wanting a managed paid-ads department with territory limits

Scale Through Us, based in London and working UK-wide, sells a fully managed growth department with Facebook, Instagram and Google ads, web design, SMS marketing, reputation management, email, SEO, CRM integration and automation, and growth consultancy. It caps itself at three businesses per niche per location. Roofing and construction are among its listed trades.

Pricing is not published and proof is three short testimonials rather than case studies. The SMS marketing and reputation management lines are relevant to a guttering firm's follow-up problem, but the site does not describe how they are set up.

Scored against the guttering firm's three problems

Our recommendation by size of firm

One van, mostly repairs with the odd roofline replacement: Riley Marketing is the obvious starting point. It is the only option here that handles the missed call, the two-minute quote and the review request as one flow, for a fee that a few repair jobs a month cover, with nothing paid until it is built. Pair it with the habits in our guide to setting up missed-call text back properly so the storm-week calls do not leak.

Two to four vans, happy to spend on ads: One Base Media is the established benchmark and Get Work is the cleaner choice if you want Google Ads leads arriving in a platform rather than an inbox. Either way, insist on measuring the spend in booked jobs rather than leads, because a flood of £120 repair enquiries can look like success and still lose money.

If you also do full roof work, our roofline specialist marketing guide covers the replacement side in more depth.
