Getting roofline quotes can be a tricky business, so how do you get the best deal?
Did you know shopping around for roofline quotes has it’s hidden costs.
Pay per click advertising.
Typically a roofline company will pay about £50 for each enquiry with 1 in 3 resulting in a sale, therefore you end up paying an extra £150 for using any roofline company that uses pay per click advertising. You will not see it in the quote however it will be covered within the mark up on the materials and labour.
Roofline Quotes Web Sites
Roofline companies typically pay £25 per enquiry and need about 3 enquiries for a sales, which is £75 extra you will pay for in hidden marketing costs. You also run the risk of your contact details been sold on to other companies mailing lists.
National Roofline company
These are by far the most expensive companies to get roofline quotes from as they run very expensive TV and radio ads, plus sending out millions of direct mail shots. They also typically pay their sales people a commission up to 20% of the value of your order. Interestingly they buy the same roofline materials from the same suppliers as we do. So if you really want a nationally branded van in your street then just be aware your paying thousands more for the privilege without getting a better quality job.
Super Cheap Quotes
Beware anyone offering roofline quotes based on being the cheapest. Typically these type of companies over cap your existing rotted timbers with very thin PVC, Sometime it can be as thin as a 2 pence piece!
This is false economy and the roofline is not secured to sound timber and being so thin it tends to blow off in the wind. Other issues are using cheap recycled PVC discolours very quickly, particularly if their is mould on the existing timber fascia.
You will also note these companies use ladders rather than proper access, this is not only dangerous but makes fitting the roofline correctly incredibly difficult.
