Graftline

For roofers

Never miss a storm-damage call again.

The morning after a storm, everyone with a missing tile is ringing every roofer in town — and you're up a ladder with your phone in the van. Graftline answers what you can't and turns the surge into a list of jobs on WhatsApp.

The calls you're missing

Who's ringing while you can't answer

Roofing has the worst version of the missed-call problem: the weather sends everyone's calls at once, at exactly the moment you can't safely answer a phone.

Rain coming through the bedroom ceiling

It's still raining and there's a bucket on the bed. This caller wants a tarp or a patch today, and they'll ring every roofer on Google until one answers. Second-fastest gets nothing.

The morning-after-the-storm surge

A storm creates a week of work in a day. The calls all come at once, they all go to whoever answers, and by the time you're off the roof at 4pm, the callers — few of whom left voicemails — have already booked other roofers.

The insurance job

Homeowners chasing a storm-damage claim need an inspection, photos and a written quote. Organised callers, decent money, happy to book ahead — but only with a firm that answers the phone.

The re-roof enquiry

Five figures of work rings once, politely. They're getting three quotes, and if you're unreachable you're simply not one of them. No drama, no second chance — just a job you never knew existed.

The maths

What one unanswered call can be worth

Graftline costs £79.99 a month. Look at what a single roofer job typically goes for, and the sums do themselves — one saved call usually covers the month.

Typical UK price ranges, shown to illustrate what a missed call can cost — not a promise of work. Your prices are your own, and Graftline only ever quotes what you tell it to.

Emergency patch or tarp-over£150–£500
Tile or flashing repair£200–£1,000
Chimney repointing£400–£1,200
Full re-roof£5,000–£12,000+

How Graftline works

Never miss the job. Skip the retyping.

Graftline answers the call you miss, gets the job onto your phone and reuses those details when you're ready to invoice. You stay in control from first ring to final send.

Around 10 minutes to get your missed calls covered.

How it works for roofers

You keep grafting. We keep answering.

Graftline is briefed on what you do and where you cover — and it knows the golden rule of roofing: nobody prices a roof they haven't seen.

  1. 1

    Answers while you're up the ladder

    Two rings, your business name. It asks what's happening — active leak or visible damage, what they can see from the ground, what kind of roof — plus the postcode and a callback number.

  2. 2

    Sorts the drips from the deluges

    Water actively coming in gets flagged urgent and you're alerted straight away. Quote requests get booked as inspections — Graftline doesn't guess prices for work that needs eyes on it.

  3. 3

    The job card lands on WhatsApp

    Who, where, what's damaged, how urgent, and any access notes. Read it when you're safely down, ring back, and book it in.

Questions from roofers

Straight answers, no small print.

Can it quote a roof over the phone?

No — and you wouldn't want it to. Roofing gets priced after someone's looked at the roof. Graftline captures the job and books you in to inspect. If you do have simple starting prices — a gutter clean, say — it can quote those as "from £…".

What happens when a storm sends twenty calls in a day?

It answers what you can't and turns the surge into a job list instead of a missed-call log. Your plan includes 180 answered minutes a month; if a storm burns through them, top-ups are opt-in and we never auto-charge you.

I can't take my phone onto a roof. How do I hear about jobs?

Job cards wait on your WhatsApp for when you're down, and anything urgent — an active leak — triggers an immediate alert so you can ring back at the next safe moment. Nothing depends on you answering live.

Does it handle repairs and big re-roof enquiries differently?

Yes. An active leak is treated as urgent; a re-roof enquiry is treated as a valuable lead — details taken properly, inspection booked, nothing rushed. Both end up on your WhatsApp with everything you need.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Keep the number on your van and your signage, and set your phone to divert to Graftline when you don't answer. One dial code, about two minutes, tested with you before it goes live.
