Selling business insurance and risk cover to roofers

Roofing firms are usually small family businesses with a crew or two, run by an owner who still quotes jobs in person. Work depends heavily on the weather, so they think about cash flow and about filling the diary in advance.

Insurance brokers grow their commercial book through referrals, renewals and a steady stream of conversations with local businesses. A lead database of your own helps you plan those conversations by sector and renewal month.

The roofers that need business insurance and risk cover are listed publicly. What most insurance brokers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What insurance brokers run into with roofers

Prospect lists by sector are hard to keep organised.

Give each sector you specialise in its own segment.

Renewal dates pass before you get in touch.

Store renewal month on the record and filter on it when you plan outreach.

Many roofers use a free email address or none at all.

An existing email column always wins in Riftjaw; where only a website is known, email from domain suggests role addresses as clearly marked guesses.

Scraped roofer lists mix roofers with builders and general handymen.

Use tags and a field for roof types to clean the list, and archive records that are not a real fit so campaigns skip them.

Fields worth recording for roofers

Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.

Field	Why it helps
Company name	The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
Website	Needed to derive an email when the export has none.
Roof types	Flat, pitched, slate or metal work each pull in different suppliers.
Guarantee offered	Firms that offer written guarantees often work with specific material brands.
Service area	Roofers travel less far than you think, so region matters for any local offer.
Uses scaffolding	Tells you whether they hire scaffolding or own it.

Questions people ask

Is it worth splitting roofers by the type of roof they work on?

Often yes, because a flat roof specialist and a slate roofer buy different materials. Add a Roof types field in your lead file and save a filter for each group.

What if a roofer has no website?

Then email from domain has nothing to work from. Keep the record with its phone number, set the status to New and mark it with a tag so you can call instead.

How do I get email addresses for roofers in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, office@ and enquiries@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
