Service Overview

## Emergency Roof Repairs — explained properly.

What it is

An emergency roof repair is any rapid response intervention that makes a leaking, storm-damaged or partially failed roof watertight and safe — without committing you to a full re-roof on the spot. Our crews carry tarpaulins, sealants, replacement slates, tiles, lead, mortar and fasteners so 9 out of 10 emergencies are resolved on the first visit.

Who it&#x27;s for

Homeowners, landlords, letting agents and commercial property managers across Worcester, Malvern, Droitwich, Bromsgrove, Pershore, Evesham, Kidderminster, Redditch, Hereford and the wider region. If water is coming through a ceiling, light fitting or chimney breast — that is us.

When you need it

Call us immediately during or after storms, when you find a fresh damp patch on a ceiling, when slates or tiles are on the ground, when flashings have lifted, when a chimney is leaning, or when an insurer has asked for an independent roof inspection within 24 hours.

Why professional matters

An untrained climber on a wet roof is a fall risk; a poorly placed tarp can funnel more water into your loft than the original leak. Professional emergency roofers stabilise the situation safely, document the damage for your insurer with photos, and quote permanent repairs honestly — so you never end up paying for work you did not need.

Cost of Doing Nothing

## What happens if you leave it?
Roof emergencies do not pause politely while you collect three quotes. Every hour a leak runs, the damage compounds — and the cost of putting it right with it.

### The risks

- Soaked loft insulation loses up to 60% of its thermal value and stays wet for weeks, driving up heating bills all winter.
- Plasterboard ceilings absorb water rapidly and collapse without warning once saturated — typically within 24–48 hours of a sustained leak.
- Damp electrics in light fittings and ceiling roses are a live fire and shock hazard; insurers will challenge claims if the property is left unattended.
- Wet timbers feed wood-rotting fungi and woodworm, turning a small slate repair into a major rafter replacement in under a season.
- Storm damage left unrepaired commonly invalidates buildings insurance under the &#x27;reasonable steps&#x27; clause.

### Common mistakes

- Calling a general builder or handyman who is not insured to work at height.
- Accepting a verbal quote on the day under pressure to &#x27;re-roof the whole thing now&#x27;.
- Trying to climb up themselves with a domestic ladder — the single biggest cause of UK A&amp;E roof injuries.
- Letting an installer dispose of the damaged tiles before the insurer has seen evidence of the storm.

Our Process

## A simple, predictable system — start to finish.

- 01

### Step 1 — Triage call
We take your postcode, ask a few diagnostic questions, give you an honest ETA and tell you exactly what to do inside the property to limit damage while you wait.

- 02

### Step 2 — Make safe &amp; watertight
Crew arrives with full PPE, fall arrest and a stocked van. We tarp, seal, replace tiles or lead-dress whatever is needed to stop the water within the first hour on site.

- 03

### Step 3 — Diagnose the root cause
We inspect the surrounding roof, flashings, valleys and loft space — leaks rarely originate where they appear inside. You get photos and a plain-English explanation.

- 04

### Step 4 — Written fixed-price quote
Permanent repair options, costs and timescales delivered in writing — usually within 24 hours, sometimes before we leave site. No high-pressure sales.

- 05

### Step 5 — Permanent repair &amp; guarantee
Work scheduled at your convenience, completed by our team, signed off with photos and a written guarantee — 2 years on repairs and maintenance, 10 years on full roof replacements, chimney works and flat roofs (both covering materials and labour).

The Benefits

## What you actually get when we are done.

### Fast emergency response
Typical response time 2–4 hours, subject to location and traffic.

### Protects everything underneath
Saving a ceiling, a hardwood floor, or a kitchen island routinely repays the cost of the repair ten times over.

### Insurance-ready paperwork
Dated photos, written diagnosis and itemised quote in the format loss adjusters expect — speeds up your claim and reduces disputes.

### No high-pressure upsell
If your roof has 10 good years left we will tell you. Most emergency call-outs end with a focused repair, not a full re-roof.

### Safe, compliant working at height
Trained, fully insured (£5M public liability cover), with the right ladders, harnesses and fall arrest.

### Guarantee in writing
2-year guarantee on repairs and maintenance, 10-year guarantee on full roof replacements, chimney works and flat roofs — both covering materials and labour.

Specialist Detail

## Materials, methods and the nuances that matter.
Worcester sits on a mix of Victorian terraces, post-war semis, 1960s–80s estates and modern executive housing — each generation of roof fails in its own characteristic ways. Knowing what is on your roof determines the right emergency response.

### Materials we use
Natural slate

Common on Victorian and Edwardian terraces in St John&#x27;s, Barbourne and central Worcester. Slates slip when nails fail (nail-sickness). We replace individually with copper hooks or new copper nails — never relying on roofing cement alone.

Concrete interlocking tiles

Standard on 1960s–1990s estates across Warndon, Dines Green and Tolladine. Tiles crack from foot traffic or frost; we carry common Marley, Redland and Sandtoft profiles in van stock.

Clay plain tiles

Found on heritage properties and barn conversions across Herefordshire. We source matching reclaimed tiles where listed-building consent applies.

Lead flashings

Around chimneys, abutments and valleys. Lifted or split lead is the single most common &#x27;mystery leak&#x27; source. We dress new Code 4/5 lead with proprietary lead-welded joints.

EPDM and felt

Flat dormers, porches and garages. Emergency patches use compatible primers and butyl tape — never bitumen on EPDM, which destroys the membrane.

### Methods we follow
Temporary tarpaulin tension-cover

For storm damage where multiple tiles have gone. Battened tarp tensioned over the ridge, weighted at eaves — stays watertight for 2–6 weeks while permanent repairs are scheduled.

Individual slate / tile replacement

Slid-out broken units, replacement secured with hook or clip — invisible from the ground, no cement smears.

Lead dressing &amp; re-welding

Lifted flashings re-dressed with a chase cut into mortar joints, sealed with neutral-cure silicone designed for lead-to-masonry junctions.

Mortar haunch &amp; ridge re-bedding

For ridge tiles loosened in high winds — re-bedded in 3:1 sand-cement with flexible mortar additive to resist future cracking.

### Variations of this service

-  Storm damage repairs
-  Slipped slate repairs
-  Chimney leak diagnosis and repair
-  Valley leak repairs
-  Flat roof emergency patching

### Residential vs Commercial
Commercial flat-roof emergencies (industrial units in Blackpole, retail in Lowesmoor) are handled by the same crew but with a dedicated paperwork package: RAMS, asbestos register check, out-of-hours coordination with facilities managers, and itemised compliance reports for landlords and lenders.
