First: make it safe, keep water out

Storm damage escalates quickly. One lifted ridge tile lets in wind-driven rain that soaks felt, battens and ceilings within hours; a slipped slate over a bedroom becomes a plaster and electrics problem by morning. Our emergency work starts with the essentials: secure anything loose, weatherproof the opening, and protect the inside of your home. Then we assess the full extent — including the hidden damage storms leave behind, like split membrane, displaced fixings and cracked tiles that haven't fallen yet.

If your roof is leaking right now: move valuables away from the drip, catch water in containers, and if water is near lights or electrics, switch off the affected circuit. Don't climb on the roof yourself — wet tiles are treacherous. Then call us.

Repairs that stay repaired

Once you're watertight we complete the lasting fix: replacement tiles and slates matched to your roof, ridge and verge repairs (upgraded to dry-fix where mortar has failed), flashing and chimney repairs, guttering put back where the wind removed it, and flat roof repairs or renewal where felt has split. Every repair is finished to blend with the existing roof — no odd tiles shouting from the street.

Claiming on insurance? We'll photograph and document the damage and provide the written detail insurers ask for, so the paperwork is as painless as the repair.

Storm Damage & Emergency Repairs — your questions answered

What counts as a roofing emergency?

Active leaks, storm-lifted or missing tiles and ridges, fallen debris damage, split flat roofs, hanging guttering and anything that could fall or let weather in. If water is entering the property or something looks unsafe, treat it as an emergency and call.

How quickly can you get to me?

We're based in Congleton covering the surrounding Cheshire towns, so we can usually respond promptly — call and we'll give you an honest arrival window there and then. In severe weather, safety governs what can be done on the roof itself, but we can often protect the property from inside and at eaves level first.

Will a temporary repair be enough?

A make-safe keeps weather out short-term, but it isn't the finished job. We'll always follow through with the permanent repair and explain exactly what it involves and costs before we start it.

Can you help with my insurance claim?

Yes. We document storm damage with photographs and a written description of what failed and what repair is required, which is what insurers typically need to progress a claim.
