Your own Reading list of 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.
Reading sits in Berkshire, the UK, close to London, Oxford and Southampton. Build the Reading list first, then add the surrounding towns as their own segments, so you always know which part of the area you already covered.
Your competitors are already emailing roofers in Reading. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.
Build your Reading list of roofers in four steps
You check every step before anything is saved or sent.
Collect roofers in Reading
Export roofers in Reading from Google Maps listings or online trade directories as CSV, or paste the results page into paste and collect.
Import into one lead file
Drop the file into a lead file called Roofers Reading. Columns are matched for you and duplicates are flagged before anything is saved.
Fill in the missing emails
No email in the export? Tick info@, office@ and enquiries@ and addresses are derived from each website.
Reach them in small batches
Pick the segment, keep only status New, write one mail with placeholders like {company|your team} and send it in small batches.
Fields worth recording for roofers in Reading
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. |
What slows down prospecting roofers, and the fix
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.
Replies come in weeks later when the weather turns, and nobody remembers the context.
The contact history shows the mail they received and any notes, so you can pick the conversation up where it stopped.
Angles that get roofers to reply
Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with roofers.
- Talk about smoothing out the quiet weeks caused by bad weather, for example with better online visibility in good weather months.
- Mention storm damage season and how being easy to reach then brings urgent, well paid work.
- Offer something that helps them win trust with homeowners, such as clear photos, surveys or reviews on their site.

Read moreEmailing roofers in the UK
In the UK, B2B cold email is covered by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR. PECR generally allows marketing email to corporate subscribers such as limited companies without prior consent, but sole traders and some partnerships are treated like individuals and usually need consent, and every message must identify you and offer a simple way to opt out. Under UK GDPR you also need a lawful basis, often legitimate interests, to use the details of named contacts. This is general information, not legal advice.
Rainy days, when crews cannot work on roofs, are often a good time to get an answer. Early mornings before crews leave for site also work. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
Questions people ask
No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the roofers yourself from public sources or your own files and import them. That is why the list is yours and why there is no credit meter on it.
Yes. Put Reading in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Reading. You always see which part of the market you already worked.
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.
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.
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.
