Emergency Roof Repairs

Strong winds can strip a row of tiles or tear away a length of ridge, and a fallen branch can crack a slope wide open. Once the roof is breached, every shower adds to the damage below, soaking insulation, staining ceilings and putting electrics at risk. The first job is always to stop more water getting in.

Making the roof safe can mean refixing tiles that are about to fall, securing damaged ridge sections, or sheeting an open area with heavy-duty tarpaulin battened down against the wind. A temporary cover like this keeps the weather out and protects the rooms underneath until the permanent repair can be carried out in suitable conditions.

Once the immediate danger has passed, the damage is inspected in full from the roof and from the loft. You are told what failed, what needs replacing and whether the storm has exposed older weaknesses, then given a price for the permanent repair that puts the roof back to its full condition.

When to Call

When a Roof Problem Is an Emergency

Some roof faults can be booked in at a convenient time. These are the ones worth phoning about straight away.

Water Coming Through

Water dripping from a ceiling or light fitting during rain means the roof is open and the damage below is spreading.

Tiles Torn Off

Several tiles or a length of ridge missing after a storm leave the underlay exposed to the next band of wind and rain.

Tree or Debris Damage

A fallen branch or flying debris that has cracked tiles or broken through the roof needs covering before more rain arrives.

Tiles Hanging Loose

Tiles or ridge pieces left hanging over the edge after high winds can drop at any moment and endanger anyone below.

FAQs

Emergency Roofing Questions

What Counts as a Roofing Emergency?

Anything that leaves the roof open to the weather or puts people at risk: water coming through a ceiling, missing tiles or ridge pieces after a storm, or loose tiles hanging over a path or drive. If you are unsure, call 0800 151 2875 and describe what you can see.

What Should I Do Before the Roof Is Made Safe?

Shift furniture and belongings clear of the leak, set a bowl or bucket under the drips and switch off lights or sockets near the water. Keep people clear of the ground beneath loose tiles. Stay off the roof and ladders, above all while it is wet or blowing hard.

What Is a Temporary Roof Cover?

It is a heavy-duty tarpaulin or sheet laid over the damaged area and battened down so the wind cannot get underneath it. It keeps rain out of the roof space until the permanent repair can be carried out in suitable weather.

Why Is a Temporary Repair Done Before the Permanent One?

Replacing tiles, battens and underlay needs dry, calm conditions and materials that match your roof. Making the roof watertight first protects your home in the meantime, and the permanent repair is then carried out when it can be finished to a good standard.

Can You Match the Tiles That Blew Off?

In most cases, yes. Tiles that came down in one piece can often be refixed, and broken ones are replaced with tiles matched in profile and colour to the rest of the roof.

Can You Come Out in Bad Weather?

Emergency call-outs are offered for storm damage and sudden leaks. Work on a roof is only carried out when it is safe to be up there, so in severe wind the temporary cover may go on once the worst has passed.
