The work

Make it safe, then make it right

An emergency call-out has two stages. First, stop the water and remove anything that could fall: loose ridge tiles, a lifted section of covering, a hanging length of gutter. Second, once things are dry and settled, carry out the repair that actually fixes it.

Temporary work is exactly that. A sheeted roof or a sealed detail buys you the time to have the job done properly rather than rushed in the rain, and we will tell you which stage you are paying for.

  • Making safe and repairing are separated, so you know what you are paying for.
  • Photographs of the damage as found, which insurers ask for.
  • Debris cleared rather than left in the garden.
  • The permanent repair is quoted calmly, once the roof is dry.

What's included

What emergency roofers covers

  • Make safe

    Loose tiles, ridge sections and damaged roofline removed or secured so nothing can fall.

  • Temporary weatherproofing

    Sheeting or a temporary seal to stop water entering while the weather is bad.

  • Storm damage assessment

    A photographed record of what the storm did, which is what an insurer will ask for.

  • Permanent repair

    The proper fix carried out once conditions allow, quoted separately and clearly.

  • Debris clearance

    Fallen tiles and broken material cleared from the garden, path and gutters.

The price

Emergency Roofers costs

What emergency roofers costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.

  • How much needs making safe, and whether access is possible in the conditions.
  • Whether temporary sheeting is needed and how long it stays up.
  • The scope of the permanent repair once the roof is inspected properly.
  • Time of day and whether the work needs more than one person on site.

Questions

Emergency Roofers: common questions

The questions we get asked most often about this work. Anything else, ring and ask.

Still not sure? Ring and ask. It is usually quicker than typing it out, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

Will you go up in bad weather?

Only where it is safe to do so. In high wind, work at height on a roof is dangerous and often makes the damage worse. In that case we make things safe at ground level and return as soon as the wind drops.

Should I claim on my insurance?

That is between you and your insurer, but photographs of the damage as found help either way. We take them as a matter of course on storm work.

Is temporary sheeting a waste of money?

No, when water is actively entering. Stopping the water protects plaster, ceilings and electrics, and those cost far more to put right than a day of sheeting.

What should I do before you arrive?

Move what you can from under the leak and put a container down. If water is pooling in a ceiling, a small hole lets it drain in one spot rather than bringing the whole ceiling down. Outside, keep clear of anything loose.

Does an emergency call-out cost more?

Attending quickly and making safe is priced differently from a booked repair, and we will tell you the basis before we come rather than after. The permanent repair is quoted separately once the roof is dry.
