The Proven Method to £40k+ Monthly in Your Installation Business
Running an MCS-certified installation business is no small task. Whether you specialise in solar, heat pumps, or ECO grant projects, the work on-site is already demanding.
But here’s the reality: most installers get stuck at the same revenue ceiling. You may already be doing £5k–£20k per month, but growth beyond that feels out of reach.
Hard work alone will not push you to £40k/month.
What separates you from the larger firms is not quality of installation. It is the system behind the scenes that feeds them consistent enquiries and allows them to scale predictably.
Why Most Installers Struggle to Scale
Many small and mid-size installation businesses depend on two things: referrals and local ads. They produce jobs but rarely in a steady, predictable flow. Without consistent enquiries, you cannot plan labour or cash flow.
One month your diary is full. The next month it feels empty.
Scaling requires moving away from feast-and-famine marketing. You need a structure that produces leads every week, not every once in a while.
Most innovative installers fund growth with UK R&D tax credit grants, boosting systems and local trust.
The Power of a Multi-Discipline Growth Team
Larger renewable firms never leave growth to chance. They have dedicated teams in place to keep the phones ringing.
The good news? You do not need to employ a full-time department to benefit. But you do need access to these skills:
- Full Stack Developers: Automate your enquiries, connect CRMs, and stop leaks.
- Frontend Designers: Build websites that turn clicks into leads.
- Designers (Print): Provide brochures and materials that win trust at the kitchen table.
- Paid Media Buyers: Create campaigns that bring daily qualified enquiries.
- Data Analysts: Track what works and eliminate wasted spend.
- Content Creators: Tell your story, explain your services, and build market authority.
When these roles work together, enquiries become consistent and revenue predictable.

Let’s break down the steps that create real, sustainable growth.
Step 1: Generate a Consistent Pipeline of Qualified Leads
To hit £40k/month, you need enough opportunities coming in. Relying on referrals caps your growth.
The most reliable channels are:
- Google Search: High-intent customers already looking for installers.
- Paid Ads: Target homeowners in your service areas with precision.
- Local Partnerships: Collaborations with estate agents, builders, or grant schemes.
Show up where intent is high and you win jobs faster.
Step 2: Optimise Your Enquiry and Follow-Up Systems
Most installers lose jobs not because of price but because they respond too slowly.
Leads go cold after 30 minutes. Strike while the iron is hot.
A CRM system with automation makes sure no enquiry is lost. Automated emails, SMS confirmations, and call reminders keep you front of mind while your team focuses on site work.
Step 3: Build Trust at Every Touchpoint
Installation jobs are big investments. Homeowners need confidence before committing.
- Online: Professional websites, testimonials, and visible accreditations.
- Offline: Printed brochures and branded proposals to leave behind.
- In Person: Clear, well-presented quotes instead of plain text emails.
Every touchpoint must demonstrate trust and professionalism.
Step 4: Use Data to Cut Waste and Scale Winners
Data transforms guesswork into a strategy. With proper tracking you can see:
- Which ads generate the best enquiries.
- Which installers close the highest-value jobs.
- Which follow-up steps increase conversion.
Data shows you where to double down and where to cut losses.
This means every pound you spend is working harder. Over time, you get more jobs from the same budget.
Step 5: Layer in Upsells and Repeat Work
Once enquiries and conversions are steady, growth comes from increasing value per customer.
- Add maintenance packages to solar or heat pump installs.
- Offer battery storage to existing solar customers.
- Create referral incentives to multiply word of mouth.
Each customer can become a source of future revenue.
Example: Hitting £40k+ Per Month
Here is how the numbers play out:
- Average solar installation: £7,000
- Average margin: 25% (£1,750)
- 25 installations per month = £43,750 revenue
With 120+ enquiries per month and a 20% conversion rate, these numbers are not only realistic, they are repeatable.
How Tech and Marketing Work Together
This is where the real magic happens.
- Developers build systems that capture and organise leads.
- Designers ensure everything looks professional and trustworthy.
- Media buyers drive traffic with targeted campaigns.
- Analysts refine the process with data.
- Content creators keep your brand visible and credible.
Together, they create a machine that delivers leads daily.
Mini Case Study: Competing with National Players
National solar companies spend millions on ads, but they lack local trust.
A smaller installer can win by combining the same marketing systems with personalised service.
You do not need their budget. You just need their structure, adapted to your scale.
