What Emergency Roofers Do
Immediate Visit
We aim to attend emergencies within hours, not days. Our vans carry materials for immediate temporary repairs.
Temporary Weatherproofing
Safety Assessment
We'll assess whether the property is safe to occupy and advise on any immediate concerns.
Permanent Repair Planning
Once the emergency is addressed, we'll provide a quote for permanent repairs.
Insurance Considerations
Before Repairs
Emergency Costs
Most buildings insurance covers emergency weatherproofing. Keep receipts and include these in your claim.
Our Support
We provide detailed reports and documentation to support your insurance claim.
Common Emergency Situations
Storm Damage
High winds can lift tiles, damage flashings, and bring down chimney pots. We secure the area and prevent further water ingress.
Fallen Trees
Tree damage can be severe. We work with tree surgeons to safely remove debris before making roof repairs.
Water Tank Failures
A burst tank in the loft can flood downward through the property. We help identify the source and prevent further damage.
Fire Damage
After fire service attendance, we can secure and weatherproof damaged roof areas.
