Leads 2 Trade is reporting a significant year-on-year increase in qualified sales leads during the first half of 2026.

The provider of double qualified sales leads is now said to be processing between 3,500 and 4,000 qualified enquiries every week, with figures showing homeowner demand remains resilient despite continued economic pressures.

Across all product sectors, quote requests increased by 6% compared to the same period in 2025, while qualified leads, where appointments have been successfully arranged, rose by 15%, pointing to stronger consumer intent in 2026.

For the fenestration market, performance has remained positive, according to Leads 2 Trade. While raw enquiry volumes for windows and doors were broadly in line with last year in a highly competitive market, conversion from enquiry to qualified lead improved by 3%, resulting in more appointment-ready opportunities for installers.

Demand for conservatory roof replacements has proved especially strong, with raw enquiries soaring by 71% and qualified leads increasing by 43% year on year.

Andy Royle, managing director of Leads2 Trade, said:

“Lead volumes in 2026 are significantly up across most verticals compared to 2025 and 2024, with the figures showing homeowners are still investing in their properties despite the current economic climate.

“But, more importantly, they’re progressing to the quotation stage in greater numbers. That’s a positive sign for installers looking to secure genuine opportunities.

“Windows and doors remain one of the most competitive sectors we operate in, so seeing conversion rates improve is particularly encouraging. Conservatory roofs have also enjoyed exceptional growth, reflecting increasing demand from homeowners looking to improve their existing living spaces to cope with the ever-changing weather.

“For companies looking to keep their sales pipeline healthy, partnering with a trusted lead generation specialist has never been more important.”
