How we helped a local roofing company turn Google searches into real customers

See how a new website and targeted Google Ads strategy helped this Newbury roofing business increase enquiries and take control of their lead generation.

The challenge

Tombs Leadwork & Roofing came to us with two key problems:

1. Their website was outdated and underperforming

The old site wasn’t designed for conversions, had limited service information and didn’t offer a great user experience — especially on mobile, where most roofing customers come from.

2. They were relying heavily on Checkatrade for leads

This meant paying high monthly fees for inconsistent enquiries and competing with every other roofer on the platform. There was little control, no brand differentiation and no long-term SEO benefit.

The goal was simple

Build a stronger online presence, generate leads directly, and reduce reliance on third-party platforms.

What we did

1. Built a high-performing, conversion-focused website

We redesigned the entire site to feel modern, fast and professional — and most importantly, to convert visitors into enquiries.

Key improvements included:

  • Clear services page for each roofing type

  • Strong calls to action across the site

  • Customer-first messaging and layout

  • Fast load speed and mobile-first design

  • Trust-building elements (photos & reviews)

The new site gives potential customers exactly what they’re looking for: clarity, trust, and an easy way to get in touch.

2. Introduced a Google Ads lead generation system

Instead of paying Checkatrade for uncertain exposure, we created a targeted Google Ads strategy focused on:

  • Roofing services in Newbury & surrounding areas

  • High-intent keywords (e.g., “roofer near me”, “emergency roof repairs”)

  • Search campaigns designed for local conversions

  • Ad copy engineered to drive action

  • Tracking for phone calls and contact forms

Within days, ads started converting — and are now generating consistent, high-quality roofing enquiries every week.

3. Strengthened their local visibility

Alongside ads, we helped improve Tombs’ overall brand presence:

  • Social media posting for consistency and trust

  • Google Business Profile optimisation

  • Review generation strategy (they went from 0 – 25 reviews in a few months)

  • Stronger local search signals

This created a full ecosystem that supports both paid and organic visibility.

The results

Since launching the new website and taking over their Google Ads:

  • Leads have increased significantly

  • Cost per lead is lower than Checkatrade

  • Website conversions are happening daily

  • Local visibility is higher than ever

  • The business now owns its traffic and enquiries

  • No reliance on third-party lead platforms

Tombs Leadwork & Roofing went from competing on Checkatrade… to owning a high-converting website and a reliable pipeline of inbound leads.

Client feedback

“TEN10 built us a great website and now runs our Google Ads and social media. We’ve had loads more leads coming in since they took over, and the whole process has been smooth and professional. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to grow your business online.”
