Hi! Please help my construction business!...

I have a question to ask people about how to get more work for my business.
I have been the manager of a construction company for over 20 years. We specialise in dry rot, rising damp control, timber treatment, structural repairs and basement tanking. I have advertised in numerous ways over the years, mainly returning to yellow pages time and time again. However, I really want to get better jobs in, both in quality and quantity. The jobs I mainly want to be involved with on a full time basis is structural repairs and basement tanking, although anything to do with damp works is also what I am seeking.
Is there any thoughts about how to attract this type of work? I have put a website together, sign written my van, advertised in the yellow pages etc for years (most recently rated tradesmen) , but what I really want are the jobs in basement tanking. I am a bit clueless on how to do this. It is frustrating for me as I have years and years of experience and me and my team can do the job ten times better and more efficiently then the competitors!
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hello Overboard,

Well with all this rain and it’s the second poor summer we’ve had.

Is there an opportunity to apply your expertise in assisting households protect their property from flood damage or enhance properties when they have been damaged?

If this is the case, I’d make a direct approach to landlords with properties that have tenants with houses or business premises that are at risk.

Further to that I’d approach insurance companies.

If that's not going to work let me know and I'll come up with something else.

Regards
