24/7 Emergency Roof Repairs Across the Fens

When a storm rips tiles off or water starts coming through the ceiling, you need someone who answers the phone. We take emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, make the roof safe and watertight, then come back to fix it properly.

The problem

Some roof problems can't wait until Monday

The Fens get some of the strongest winds in the region, and there's very little to break them up. A big gust can lift a run of tiles, strip a ridge or bring a loose chimney pot down in minutes. Left overnight, rain soaks straight into the felt, insulation and plaster below.

Some situations are a safety risk as well as a leak: a ridge tile balanced on the edge of the roof above a front door, a cracked chimney stack leaning after a storm, or a section of roof open to the weather. These need someone out quickly to make them safe before anything else.

Signs to look out for

  1. 01Water dripping or pouring through a ceiling or light fitting
  2. 02Tiles, ridges or slates blown off in high winds
  3. 03A loose ridge tile or chimney pot that could fall
  4. 04Fallen tree branches damaging the roof
  5. 05A flat roof that has split or blown back
  6. 06Lead flashing torn away from a chimney or wall

How we fix it

Make it safe first. Fix it properly second.

Call us and you'll talk to someone who can actually help. Tell us what's happening and, if it's safe to do so, send a photo from the ground on WhatsApp. We'll get a team out as quickly as possible.

Our first job is to make the roof safe and stop the water — removing loose tiles or ridges that could fall, sheeting and battening open areas, and temporarily sealing torn flashings. Sometimes, like with high winds, the safest thing is to take the hazard down and wait for a calm day to refix it.

Once the weather allows, we come back and complete a proper permanent repair, with photos of the damage and the finished work. Those photos are useful if you're making an insurance claim.

What we bring to an emergency

Heavy-duty sheeting
Battened-down tarpaulin and sheeting to keep weather out of an open roof until a permanent repair can be done.
Spare tiles & ridges
Common tile and ridge profiles on the van so many storm repairs can be completed on the first visit.
Breathable membrane
Replacement underlay for areas where the felt has been torn or blown away.
Lead & fixings
Lead, clips and mechanical fixings to resecure flashings, verges and ridges properly.

Good to know

After the storm

Once the wind drops, it's worth walking round the house and looking up. Check for gaps in the tile lines, ridge tiles out of place, lead lifted around the chimney and anything sitting in the gutters that shouldn't be there. Don't climb up yourself — a wet, damaged roof is no place to be.

If you can see damage but nothing is coming in yet, call or message us anyway. Getting a small storm repair done before the next band of rain is far better than dealing with a soaked loft and ceiling afterwards.

FAQs

Emergency repairs: your questions

Do you really answer at night and weekends?

Yes. We offer emergency call-outs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for storm damage, falling tiles and water coming in.

What should I do while I wait for you?

Stay safe and stay off the roof. Move valuables and electrics away from the leak, put down buckets and towels, and if water is near a light fitting, switch off that circuit at the fuse box. Keep people away from anything that could fall from the roof.

Can you help with an insurance claim?

We take clear photos of the damage before and after our work and can provide a written description of what we found and what we did, which most insurers ask for.

Will you fix it on the first visit?

Often, yes. Where wind or rain makes a full repair unsafe, we'll make it safe and watertight first, then come back to finish once the weather allows.

Do you charge extra for emergency call-outs?

We'll always talk through costs with you before we start, so there are no surprises.

What counts as a roofing emergency?

Anything letting water into your home, anything that could fall and hurt someone, or a roof open to the weather. If you're not sure, call us — we'll tell you honestly whether it can wait.
