Roofers: booking roof inspection visits online

A slipped tile, a leak after a storm, a pre-sale check: every roof job starts with an inspection. Fixing those visits by phone while you're up a ladder isn't practical. With Book, clients book an inspection on your own booking page on the days you're in their area, and you book repair days from your list after the visit.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples. Leave the price empty on repair days.

Create inspection services per area and open slots on the days you work there. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Each online booking takes one place, and a booked inspection leaves your page.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for the address, roof type, number of storeys, where the problem shows inside, and access for a ladder. Ask for photos by email.

Don't open public slots for repair days. After the inspection, book each day yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file for each day.

Active leaks need a phone call, not a slot next week. Say in your descriptions that urgent work is by phone.

Rain and wind stop roof work. Say in the description that visits move in bad weather. Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so tell them yourself. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't write reports or estimates, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with several crews, create services per crew. See the guide on scheduling roof work around the weather. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
