Emergency Roofing Services in Surrey

Our Emergency Response

Available 24/7

Call 07889 649 878 anytime. We answer emergency calls outside normal working hours and respond as quickly as possible.

Rapid Attendance

We prioritise genuine emergencies. In most cases, we attend within 2-4 hours during the day, or first thing the following morning for overnight calls.

Being based in Sunbury-on-Thames means we're never far from properties across Surrey.

Make Safe Procedures

Our first priority is making your property safe and weatherproof. We secure loose materials, cover exposed areas with tarpaulins, and prevent further water ingress.

Assess Damage

Once the immediate emergency is resolved, we assess the full extent of damage and provide a quote for permanent repairs.

Permanent Repairs

We schedule permanent repairs as quickly as possible, typically within 1-5 days depending on materials needed and weather conditions.

Common Roofing Emergencies

Storm and Wind Damage

Surrey experiences severe storms periodically. Wind damage includes:

● Lifted or missing tiles

● Damaged ridge tiles

● Broken slates

● Failed flashing

● Damaged chimney stacks

We respond quickly to storm damage, making roofs safe before completing permanent repairs.

Heavy Rain Leaks

Persistent heavy rain can overwhelm roofs with existing problems or find weaknesses in ageing systems. Large leaks need immediate attention.

Tree Damage

Fallen branches or entire trees can cause severe roof damage. We make damaged roofs safe and arrange permanent repairs.

Fire Damage

Fire can compromise roof structures even if the main property is saved. We make fire-damaged roofs weatherproof pending full repairs.

Age-Related Sudden Failure

Old roofs can fail suddenly - large sections of felt coming loose, multiple tiles slipping, or major flashing collapse. These situations need rapid response.

What to Do in a Roofing Emergency

Stay Safe

Don't attempt roof access yourself in emergencies. Damaged roofs are dangerous.

Contain Interior Damage

Place buckets under active leaks. Move valuables away from water.

Document for Insurance

If safe to do so, photograph damage for insurance purposes.

Call Us Immediately

Call 07889 649 878. Explain the situation and we'll attend as quickly as possible.

Keep Clear

Keep people away from areas where tiles are falling or roof sections are damaged.

Emergency vs Urgent Repairs

True Emergencies

True emergencies need same-day or next-day response:

● Water pouring through ceilings

● Falling tiles endangering people

● Major storm damage leaving roofs exposed

● Structural damage

Urgent but Not Emergency

Some situations are urgent but can wait 24-48 hours:

● Small leaks during rain

● Missing tiles on secondary roofs

● Minor flashing problems

We still respond quickly to urgent situations, but we prioritise genuine emergencies first.

Insurance Work

We regularly work with insurance companies on storm damage and emergency repairs. We can:

● Provide detailed reports of damage

● Supply photographs and documentation

● Complete insurance claim forms

● Work with loss adjusters

● Provide quotes for permanent repairs

If your emergency is covered by insurance, we help with the claims process.

Emergency Repair Costs

Emergency callouts incur additional charges for out-of-hours attendance and rapid response. We're transparent about costs and explain charges before attending where possible.

For insurance claims, emergency costs are typically covered. We provide clear documentation for all work completed.

Preventing Roofing Emergencies

Regular Inspections

Professional roof inspections identify problems before they become emergencies. We recommend inspections every 2-3 years.

Address Small Problems Quickly

Small leaks and minor damage worsen over time. Addressing problems early prevents emergencies.

Tree Management

Keep trees trimmed back from roofs. Overhanging branches cause problems during storms.

Gutter Maintenance

Blocked gutters cause water to back up under roof edges. Regular gutter cleaning [/services/gutter-cleaning.html] prevents problems.
