About this service
Emergency roofing is the immediate response that makes a damaged roof safe and stops water getting in. That might mean tarping over a section stripped by wind, securing loose tiles or flashing before they fall, or sealing an active leak temporarily. The aim is to protect your property and belongings from further damage while the permanent repair is planned and quoted.
We respond quickly because a leaking roof causes damage hour by hour. Once the roof is made safe, we carry out a proper inspection — using drone imagery where helpful — and provide a written quotation for the permanent repair. You are never pressured into work; you get an honest assessment and a clear price.
With multiple Pro Guard roofing teams operating across Kent, we can often provide same-day inspections, quotations and smaller repairs where weather, access, materials and availability allow. We do not guarantee same-day attendance in every case, but we always aim to respond as quickly as we reasonably can — and your call is answered by a real member of our team, not an AI receptionist.
Our process
We start with a professional inspection of your roof — using drone imagery where access is difficult — to identify the cause of the problem rather than just the symptom.
You receive a clear written quotation setting out the recommended works, materials and price, with no obligation.
Our experienced roofing team carries out the work using quality materials, keeping the site clean and organised throughout.
We complete a final inspection, remove waste responsibly and confirm any applicable workmanship guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you respond to a roof emergency?
We aim to respond 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. Call us on 01622 611 499 — our team answers calls 24/7.
Can you repair a roof the same day?
Where weather, access, materials and availability allow, we can often carry out same-day inspections and smaller repairs, and provide temporary weatherproofing to stop further damage. Larger permanent repairs are quoted and scheduled after the initial visit. We will always be honest about what is possible on the day.
Will you just put a tarp on, or do you do a proper repair?
We make the roof safe and weatherproof first to stop further damage, then carry out a proper inspection and provide a written quotation for the permanent repair. The temporary protection is a first step, not the whole job.
Can you help with an insurance claim after storm damage?
Yes. We can document the damage with drone imagery and a written report to support your insurance claim, and carry out the permanent repairs once agreed with your insurer.
What should I do if my roof starts leaking?
If it is safe, move belongings away from the leak and contain any water with buckets. Do not climb onto the roof yourself. Call us on 01622 611 499 and we will talk you through immediate steps while we arrange to attend.
Can you temporarily waterproof a leaking roof?
Yes. Where appropriate we apply temporary weatherproofing — such as tarping or sealing — to stop water ingress and protect your property while the permanent repair is planned and quoted. This is a first step, not a substitute for the proper repair.
