Roofing software for UK roofers & roofing contractors.

Why UK roofers and roofing contractors choose HiveSuite

Roofing work means multi-day projects, weather delays, stage payments, and coordinating a crew across multiple sites. HiveSuite gives roofers one platform to quote on-site, schedule crews, track materials, photograph work before and after, invoice in stages, and get paid by card the same day.

HiveSuite is UK-built, priced in GBP including VAT, and designed for how UK trade businesses actually work. Flat-fee pricing by team size, no feature locks, and a 30-day free trial with no credit card required.

Quoting for roofing repairs, re-roofs, and new builds

Roofing quotes need to cover a lot - materials, labour, scaffolding, skip hire, and contingency for what you might find once the old roof comes off. HiveSuite lets you build detailed multi-line quotes on your phone while still on-site. Break down every element clearly so the customer knows exactly what they are paying for, then send the quote by email before you leave.

HiveAssist, the built-in AI assistant, drafts quote line items from a short description of the work. Describe the job - "strip and re-tile, 60sqm pitched roof, new felt and battens, replace lead flashings" - and get a structured quote with materials and labour that you review, adjust, and send. You can also send multi-option quotes so the customer can choose between a repair and a full re-roof.

Quotes are branded with your business name and logo and can be accepted online with a single click. Once accepted, raise a deposit invoice to secure payment before work starts.

Scheduling roofing crews across multiple sites

Roofing projects run over multiple days and often across several sites at once. HivePlanner is a visual drag-and-drop calendar that lets you plan multi-week roofing jobs, assign crew members to specific days, and see at a glance who is on which site. When weather delays force a reschedule, drag the job to a new slot and your crew is updated automatically on the HiveCrew app.

Conflict detection warns you before you double-book a crew member. For roofing contractors managing several live projects, HivePlanner gives you a clear view of who is where, what is coming up, and where you have capacity to take on more work.

Photo documentation for roofing work

Roofing is one of the trades where photographic evidence matters most. Customers cannot easily see their own roof, so before-and-after photos build trust and protect you from disputes. HiveSuite lets you attach photos directly to any job record - document the condition of the roof before starting, capture progress shots during the work, and photograph the completed job.

Photos are stored against the job and can be shared with the customer through the customer portal. If a customer queries the work months later, you have everything documented in one place.

Materials tracking for roofing supplies

Roofing projects burn through materials - tiles, felt, battens, lead, fixings, ridge caps, and insulation. HiveSuite lets you track stock levels, set low-stock alerts, and raise purchase orders for suppliers directly from the platform. Log materials used against each job so you always know your true costs and can quote accurately for the next project.

Stage invoicing for roofing projects

Roofing work is rarely paid in a single lump sum. Customers expect a deposit before work starts and the balance on completion, or interim payments on larger projects. HiveSuite makes stage invoicing simple - raise multiple invoices against the same job, each with a Stripe payment link so the customer can pay by card immediately.

The invoice reminder board tracks every outstanding payment at a glance. HiveAssist can draft follow-up reminders when payments are overdue, so you spend less time chasing and more time on the tools.

RAMS and compliance documents for roofing

Commercial roofing contracts and larger domestic projects often require documented safety procedures before work starts. HiveSuite includes a compliance document builder with preloaded templates designed around UK standards so you can generate RAMS, method statements, checklists, and certificates directly from your jobs. Documents are numbered, track issue and next-check-due dates, and can be shared with customers and site managers through the customer portal.

Recurring work for maintenance contracts

Commercial roofing contracts often include scheduled maintenance inspections and gutter clearances. HiveSuite lets you set up recurring jobs that auto-generate on your chosen schedule - quarterly, six-monthly, or annually. Pair with recurring invoices so billing happens automatically too. You never miss a scheduled visit and your client gets a reliable service.

Xero and QuickBooks integration

HiveSuite integrates with Xero and QuickBooks so your invoices, payments, and customer records sync automatically. No double-entry, no manual exports - your bookkeeper or accountant always has up-to-date figures.

Keep your team in the loop

Team members log in to HiveCrew where they see only their own jobs for the day - site addresses, job notes, and one-tap directions. They update job status, log their hours, and upload photos of completed work. Everything syncs back in real time. HiveCrew is available as a native app on Android with offline mode, so jobs, check-ins, photos, notes and certificates keep working with no signal and sync automatically when you reconnect. On iOS it installs as a Progressive Web App with push notifications, and a native iOS app is awaiting App Store approval. Your crew see only what is relevant to them - not your full customer database or financials.

Built for UK roofers, not adapted from a US product

Many roofing software platforms are built for the US market and adapted for the UK as an afterthought. HiveSuite is designed from the ground up for UK contractors - GBP pricing that includes VAT, compliance templates designed around UK standards, and workflows that match how UK roofing businesses actually operate.

Plans start from just £34.99 per month with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required. Every plan includes every feature - HiveCRM, HivePlanner, HiveIntel, HiveCrew, Customer Portal, and Stripe payments. You choose your plan based on team size, not which features you need.
