Call-outs we attend
What we deal with on an emergency visit
Storm damage
Ridge tiles off, verges stripped, felt torn or sheets lifted. Made safe first, photographed for your insurer, then repaired.
Fallen or loose tiles
Loose tiles above a path or driveway are a safety risk. We remove the danger the same visit and replace like-for-like.
Blown-off lead and flashings
Chimney and abutment flashings lifted by wind get temporary sealing immediately and code-graded lead once the weather allows.
Blocked or burst gutters
Overflowing gutters soak walls fast. We clear, re-fix and correct the fall so it doesn't happen at the next downpour.
Temporary tarpaulin cover
Where a full repair can't be done safely on the day, we sheet the roof properly so the property stays dry until we return.
