About this service
An emergency roof repair is the immediate response to active water ingress, storm damage, loose masonry or any defect that is putting your home or safety at risk right now. The first priority is always to make the roof safe and stop water getting in — usually with temporary weatherproofing such as tarping or sealing — before the permanent repair is inspected, quoted and scheduled.
Because water travels along timbers before it shows inside, the visible damp is rarely where the water is entering. Our team traces the real source of the leak, using drone imagery where access is difficult, so the permanent repair addresses the cause rather than the symptom.

Our process
For an emergency call, we prioritise getting a team to you quickly. On arrival we make the roof safe and apply temporary weatherproofing to stop further water ingress. We then inspect the full extent of the damage — using a drone where needed — and explain clearly what has happened and what the permanent repair involves.
How we carry out the work
The permanent repair is carried out once the immediate risk is dealt with and you have a clear written quotation. Our roofing team renews tiles, flashing, leadwork or chimney detailing as required, using quality materials matched to your existing roof, and leaves the site clean and weathertight.
Drainage considerations
Many emergency leaks trace back to guttering or valley drainage rather than the covering itself. We check gutters, valleys and downpipes as part of the inspection so the underlying drainage issue is fixed, not just the visible damage.
Edging and finishing
Where the emergency involves the roof edge — stripped verges, damaged eaves or fascia boards — we restore the detailing so the repair integrates cleanly and the edge is wind-resistant.
Maintenance information
After an emergency repair we advise on what to watch for, especially ahead of further storms, and can carry out a preventative inspection to catch any other weak points before they become emergencies.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you attend an emergency?
We aim to respond to emergency calls as quickly as possible, often the same day, to make the roof safe and weatherproof. Same-day attendance depends on team availability, weather, access and materials, so we cannot guarantee it in every case — but we always prioritise emergency calls.
What does an emergency roof call-out cost?
Emergency roof call-outs are from £195. The final cost depends on the nature and scale of the repair, access and materials. We provide a clear written quotation for the permanent repair after inspecting the damage.
Will you just patch it or fix it properly?
In an emergency we make the roof safe and weatherproof first, often with temporary protection. We then inspect the real cause of the problem and carry out a permanent repair that addresses it — not just a patch over the symptom.
