The ROOF Franchise

A roofing business with the infrastructure already built.

ROOF is designed for experienced roofers who want to operate their own local roofing business without having to build every system behind it from scratch.

You remain the owner and operator of your own independent business. ROOF provides the brand, digital presence, enquiry generation, estimating systems, CRM, operational processes, documentation and commercial infrastructure designed to help you run it professionally.

From the first customer enquiry through to surveying, pricing, quotation, project delivery, variations, invoicing and reviews, the objective is simple: create a structured roofing business that is easier to operate, easier to control and capable of growing without unnecessary management layers.

Talk to us about ROOF

A different way to build a roofing business.

The roofing industry is full of capable tradespeople who are excellent at delivering work but find themselves spending increasing amounts of time dealing with enquiries, pricing, paperwork, marketing, administration and customer management.

ROOF has been created around a different idea.

Instead of asking an operator to build a roofing company and then slowly create the systems around it, we provide much of that infrastructure from the outset.

You operate through your own limited company, employ or subcontract your own workforce, contract directly with your customers and retain control of the day-to-day operation and profitability of your business.

Each territory operates under the ROOF + locality model, creating a strong local identity supported by a wider operating platform.

ROOF YORK and ROOF DUNDEE are examples of how the model can be replicated geographically.

The systems are being developed specifically around how roofing businesses actually operate: surveys, pricing, quotations, variations, project records, procurement, photographs, customer communication and job completion.

ROOF is not intended to be a passive investment franchise. We are primarily looking for experienced roofing professionals and capable operators who understand the trade and want to build a better structured business around their skills.

The objective is to combine local ownership with central infrastructure, allowing the operator to focus more of their time on surveying, selling, managing and delivering profitable roofing work.

ROOF develops and manages the wider digital platform, SEO strategy, content and location-based marketing designed to generate relevant enquiries in each operating area.

Enquiries, surveys, quotations, communications, project records and invoicing are managed through approved digital systems, creating greater consistency and visibility across the business.

Operators are supported by structured estimating and pricing systems, including MOAT-based pricing tools where introduced, helping create consistent quotations and clearer understanding of project costs and margins.

ROOF + YOUR TOWN

One operating system. Strong local identities.

The ROOF model is deliberately local.

Customers generally want a roofing contractor they recognise as operating in their area. Our brand architecture therefore combines a common national identity with a clear local trading name.

Each business has its own territory and operator while benefiting from a shared brand system, central infrastructure and collective digital presence.

This structure allows every operator to build genuine local visibility without losing the benefits of belonging to a wider network.

As the network grows, projects, technical content, customer reviews, purchasing power, systems development and marketing knowledge can all contribute to the strength of the wider ROOF platform.

The ambition is not to create a loose collection of roofing contractors.

It is to create a recognisable network of professionally operated local roofing businesses.

The Infrastructure

You roof. We build the system around you.

Use of the ROOF brand and approved local trading identity within your operating territory, together with brand guidelines, vehicle presentation and marketing standards.

Central website infrastructure, location-based landing pages, roofing guides, project content and ongoing search optimisation designed to build organic visibility.

Relevant enquiries arising through the ROOF digital platform can be routed to the appropriate territory operator through the central CRM system.

A structured digital environment for managing enquiries, customers, surveys, quotations, project information, correspondence and records.

Structured estimating and pricing tools designed to improve consistency, recover overhead and provide greater visibility over the real cost of delivering roofing work.

Access to approved supply channels and trade purchasing arrangements, including group and associated businesses such as On Roof Supplies where appropriate.

Approved quotation formats, variations, RAMS, project records, photographic requirements and operational documentation.

Ongoing development of the wider ROOF platform, systems, content, technology, marketing and franchise network.

A Lean Operating Model

Built around the operator, not layers of management.

ROOF is being developed around a deliberately lean operating structure.

For the right operator, the initial business can be centred around a small core team, with additional specialist labour or subcontract support introduced when required.

The purpose of the technology and central infrastructure is to remove unnecessary administration and allow the operator to remain close to the customer, the quotation and the work.

That means fewer unnecessary management layers, better visibility over jobs and a business that can expand in a controlled way as demand grows.

The objective is not growth for the sake of growth. It is profitable, well-managed roofing work delivered professionally.

Commercial Structure

A straightforward franchise model.

Each franchisee operates through their own independent company and is responsible for their own contracts, workforce, taxation, insurance, health & safety and project delivery.

The ROOF brand, central infrastructure, digital systems and franchise platform are operated and licensed by ONCOMMERCE LIMITED.

The core franchise royalty is presently structured at:

10% of gross invoiced turnover

The royalty supports the ongoing provision and development of the ROOF brand, digital infrastructure, CRM, marketing systems, documentation and wider franchise platform.

Franchisees may also purchase roofing materials and associated products through approved suppliers and group businesses on applicable trade terms.

The commercial model is designed so that the operator remains responsible for and benefits from the profitability of their own contracting business, while ROOF participates in the growth of the network through its franchise royalty and associated infrastructure.

Full commercial terms are provided to suitable applicants as part of the franchise application process.

Who We’re Looking For

Roofers first. Operators second. Franchise investors last.

We are primarily interested in people who already understand roofing.

That might include:

  • Experienced roofing contractors ready to run their own business.
  • Lead roofers or supervisors looking for the next stage in their career.
  • Small existing roofing businesses that would benefit from stronger branding and systems.
  • Operators capable of surveying, selling and managing roofing work professionally.
  • People who understand that reputation and workmanship matter more than simply being the cheapest quotation.

We are unlikely to be the right fit for somebody seeking a passive investment without roofing or construction experience.

The strongest ROOF operators will combine practical trade knowledge with good communication, organisation, commercial awareness and a willingness to work within a structured system.

Every operator contributes to the reputation of the wider network.

We therefore intend to grow carefully rather than appoint territories simply because somebody is prepared to pay for one.

The Network

ROOF is beginning to grow.

The platform is being developed around a network of locally operated roofing businesses supported by common systems, branding and digital infrastructure.

ROOF YORK

York forms part of the initial development of the ROOF franchise system and provides the foundation for the wider operating model.

ROOF DUNDEE

Dundee demonstrates the ability to extend the ROOF + locality architecture into a separate geographic market.

Future territories

We are interested in hearing from suitable operators across carefully selected UK locations.

Potential future territories may include major cities, market towns and surrounding areas where there is sufficient demand to support a professionally operated local roofing business.

Territory availability is considered individually and appointment is subject to approval.
