Roof & gutter cleaning software for the busy season and the rest of the year

Common challenges roof & gutter cleaning businesses face

Running a roof & gutter cleaning business comes with unique challenges. Here's how Surehand helps.

September to December is mayhem

Leaf-fall season brings six weeks of solid bookings — and the rest of the year is patchy. You need to bank the autumn cash and stretch maintenance work across the off-season.

Quoting from the ground is guesswork

You can't always get up the ladder before pricing. Complex roof and gutter jobs need photos, line items, and a clear breakdown the customer can sign off without a back-and-forth.

Annual customers slip through the cracks

Last year you cleared the gutters, this year they forgot. Without a recall system, half your maintenance customers go to whoever knocks first.

Weather rules your week (and your insurance)

High wind, ice or wet roofs aren't safe to work on. You need to reschedule a whole week's worth of jobs without spending an hour on the phone.

Working at heights paperwork is a faff

RAMS, ladder checks, harness records — every commercial customer wants to see them. Without a system, you're hunting through notebooks and emails.

No record trail when something goes wrong

If a customer claims you damaged a roof tile, you need before/after photos and notes from that visit. Without them, your insurance excess takes the hit.

Features built for roof & gutter cleaning businesses

Surehand provides industry-specific tools to help you run your business more efficiently.

Seasonal Scheduling

Block out your autumn diary in August. See capacity at a glance, take deposits early, and stop turning customers away during the leaf-fall window.

Detailed Quote Creation

Build quotes with line items for gutter clean, fascia wash, downpipe clear, moss removal, and roof inspection. Include photos and terms that win bigger jobs.

Annual Maintenance Recall

Schedule the same customer 12 months out automatically. We'll prompt you in good time and send the customer a reminder so they book before someone else does.

Before & After Photos

Snap before/after photos against each job. Stored against the customer record, ready to send to the customer or pull up if there's ever a dispute.

Weather Rescheduling

Bulk-move a wet or windy day's worth of jobs to a clear slot. Customers get an automatic text — no awkward phone calls.

RAMS & Job Notes

Attach a Risk Assessment & Method Statement to commercial jobs. Site-specific notes (alarm codes, parking, ladder access) are right there on your phone.

Direct Debit & Card Payments

Take a deposit on the spot, the balance on completion. Set commercial customers up on Direct Debit for monthly contracts via GoCardless.

Built for the way roof and gutter work actually runs

Working at heights, autumn surge, customer recalls — the bits of your business a generic CRM doesn't think about.

Working at heights paperwork

RAMS templates, ladder inspection logs, and harness records — store them per job and pull them up on a customer's phone if they ask.

Seasonal demand (Sept–Nov peak)

Forward diary view, capacity caps per day, and waitlist handling so you can take the autumn money without dropping calls in November.

Insurance & dispute trail

Dated photos and job notes against every visit. If a customer claims damage three weeks later, you've got the evidence ready to go.

Commercial contracts

Recurring monthly Direct Debit via GoCardless for property managers and commercial sites — far easier than chasing 30-day invoices.
