Why Glasgow Gutters Uses Social Media: Staying Connected, Sharing Our Work, and Helping You Every Day
At Glasgow Gutters, we do more than just clean, repair, and install gutters. We also believe in staying in touch with the people we work for—and that’s where social media comes in. These days, almost everyone uses platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube in their daily life. So we thought, why not use these tools to connect with our customers too?
We started using social media because we wanted to share our work in a simple, friendly way. But over time, we realised it’s about much more than just showing before-and-after pictures of gutters. It’s about building trust, answering questions, showing who we are, and being helpful even when we’re not on a ladder.
If you’ve ever searched for local services online, you’ve probably looked at someone’s social media profile. That’s what many of our customers do. It helps them see if a company is real, active, and trustworthy. And when they come across our posts, videos, or reviews, they get a feel for how we work, how we treat people, and what kind of results we deliver. That’s important to us.
Let’s talk about why we use social media—and how it helps you as a homeowner, landlord, or business owner in Glasgow.
We use
Facebook because it’s like a big online noticeboard where we can chat with our community. It’s a great place to share updates, post pictures of our recent work, answer questions, and respond to messages. Many of our customers first find us through Facebook. They might see a post shared by a friend or come across a local recommendation. We also use Facebook to read reviews and feedback from happy customers. That helps others see we’re a trusted team. Sometimes, we’ll share tips—like how to know when your gutters need cleaning, or why regular maintenance saves you money in the long run. We want our page to be useful, not just a place to advertise. It’s about being part of the local conversation.
On
Instagram, we focus more on visuals. Gutters might not sound exciting, but you’d be surprised how satisfying it is to see a dirty, overflowing gutter cleaned up and looking brand new. We post photos and short videos of our work—before and after shots, close-ups of problems we’ve fixed, and pictures of happy customers’ homes. It helps people see what we do in real life. Many of our followers say they didn’t realise how important gutters were until they saw the difference we make. And for people who like neat homes and tidy roofs, it’s oddly satisfying to scroll through.
Then there’s
Twitter, which we use to stay active in local conversations. Twitter is fast and short—it’s great for sharing quick updates, news, and tips. If we’ve got a special offer, a same-day appointment slot, or we’re working in a certain area, we’ll tweet about it. It’s also where we talk about local weather, because let’s face it—rain in Glasgow is something we all live with. We often remind people to check their gutters before the next storm, and our tweets are a helpful nudge at the right time. Sometimes, people message us on Twitter with questions, and we’re happy to help.
Pinterest might surprise some people, but we like it because it lets us show guttering in a more creative light. It’s where we share inspiration for homes, roofline styles, and ideas for colour-matching gutters with your roof or walls. Many homeowners use Pinterest when they’re planning renovations or building a new home. Our posts help them understand how gutters can be both functional and stylish. Whether it’s a sleek zinc gutter or a classic copper design, Pinterest lets us show that gutters can look good too—not just work well.
We also use
LinkedIn, but this platform is more about our business connections. On LinkedIn, we talk to other professionals—builders, roofers, property managers, and business owners. It’s where we share updates about our services, training, and certifications. We also post stories about our team, how we work, and why we care about doing a good job. People trust a company more when they see the people behind it. LinkedIn helps us build those professional relationships. It’s also where companies looking for commercial gutter services often reach out to us.
And of course, we can’t forget
YouTube. This is where we show the real side of our work. We post short videos of our team in action—cleaning, repairing, and installing gutters across Glasgow. Some videos are educational, showing how to spot a leak or when to replace your guttering. Others are just satisfying footage of a job well done. YouTube is powerful because people can see with their own eyes how careful and skilled we are. When you watch our team cleaning gutters or installing new systems, you know we take pride in what we do. And if you’re not sure what kind of guttering to choose, our videos help explain the differences in simple terms.
Social media also helps us stay responsive. If someone has a question, they can send us a message on any platform. We check our inboxes regularly and try to reply as quickly as we can. Whether you want a quote, need advice, or just want to know if we cover your area, we’re only a few clicks away. This makes it easier for busy people to get in touch—no waiting on the phone, no long forms to fill out.
Another reason we love social media is because it helps us build trust. Anyone can say they do a good job—but when you see real photos, watch real videos, and read real customer reviews, it means more. That’s why we never use stock photos or fake content. Everything you see on our pages comes from real jobs done by the Glasgow Gutters team.
We also enjoy being part of the local community. On social media, we support other small businesses in Glasgow, we share local news, and sometimes we even post about things outside of guttering—like supporting a local event or helping out during a charity day. Being part of the online community helps us stay connected to the real people we serve every day.
We know not everyone uses every platform, and that’s okay. Some people follow us on just one channel, while others like to check a few. No matter which one you choose—Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, or YouTube—you’ll find that our message is always the same: we’re here to help you take care of your gutters with good work at a fair price.
Social media is also where we celebrate our team. We’re proud of our workers—they’re skilled, hardworking, and polite. They go out in all weather to make sure your gutters are safe and working properly. On our pages, we sometimes post team photos or little stories from the job. It’s our way of showing that behind every job is a real person who cares.
In the end, we use social media to be open, honest, and helpful. We don’t just want to be the people who show up, fix something, and leave. We want to build relationships. We want you to know who we are before we even knock on your door. And if you’ve got a question or concern about your gutters, we want to be easy to reach—because that's what good service looks like today.
So whether you’re on Facebook checking your newsfeed, scrolling Instagram on your tea break, watching YouTube videos in the evening, or browsing Pinterest for ideas—we’re there. Not to sell you something you don’t need, but to help you take care of your home and feel confident about who you’re hiring.
