Roofers: scheduling roof work around the weather

Roof work stops for rain, strong wind and ice. A calendar packed tight falls apart at the first wet week, and every moved day means calls to clients. With Book, you book work days from your list with spare days built in, move bookings in a few taps when the weather turns, and keep inspections on your own booking page for clients to book themselves.

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 work days.

Book work days yourself from your bookings list, and leave a spare day in each week free of bookings. When rain stops a day, you have somewhere to move it. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file. A slot sits within one day, so a four-day job is four bookings.

When the forecast turns, move bookings from your list to the next dry day. Rescheduling works across services. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so call or text each client yourself; the booking has their phone number.

Write in the work service description that roof work depends on the weather, that days may move at short notice, and how you'll contact the client. Clients who've read this take a moved day better.

Inspections are short and less weather-dependent. Open inspection slots on your page so clients book them without calling. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email.

Keep a service for work you can do from inside, such as loft-side leak checks, and fill wet days with it.

Book doesn't read the weather, write estimates, take payments or send reminders. Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you. One booking page per business, no staff field: with several crews, create services per crew. See the guide on roof inspection visits. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
