Call NowIt's a fair question. Most roofing work happens at a sensible hour, booked in a few days ahead — that's the kind of everyday roof repair London homeowners plan around a quote and a convenient date. Emergency repair is the opposite of that — it's us turning up at 2am because your ceiling's actively letting rain through and it can't wait until Monday.
If a storm's just been through, it's worth calling sooner rather than later. Water doesn't sit politely and wait — it gets into ceiling boards, ruins furniture, and given enough time, starts rotting the timber holding your roof up. Getting ahead of it, even by a few hours, tends to make a real difference to how bad the damage ends up being.
Not every drip is a 2am emergency, to be honest — some things really can wait until morning. But a few situations genuinely can't:
If you're looking at any of these, it really is worth calling straight away. The sooner someone's out to stop the water, the less it ends up costing you to put right.
London gets its fair share of heavy rain and proper wind gusts, and roofs take the brunt of it. Wind gets under the edge of a tile, lifts it, and once one goes, it tends to take the ones behind it with it — that's usually how a single loose tile turns into a missing patch overnight.
| Problem Area | What Storms Do | How We Fix It |
|---|---|---|
| Roof Tiles & Slates | Cracked or blown off completely by strong wind | Swapped for solid new ones |
| Flat Roof Felt | Edges lift, the waterproof layer tears | Torn spots patched, seams resealed |
| Lead Flashing | Loosened around chimneys and skylights | Reseal to stop water getting behind it |
| Gaps & Attic Boards | Branches break through, daylight gets in | Boarded up and covered with waterproofing |
Catching it early is really the whole game — a small tear ignored for a week can let in a genuinely alarming amount of water.
We've kept this as simple as we can, because the last thing you need mid-crisis is a complicated process.
Fixing a roof in the dark, in the rain, isn't a job for just anyone. As a roofing company London homeowners have relied on for over 20 years, we've built our emergency service around a few things that tend to stand out:
Can a temporary cover just... be the solution? Short answer: no, not really.
A tarp, some boards, a tight seal — that's there to buy time, to stop the rain that night or through the worst of a storm. It's not built to survive weeks of proper weather.
Once things have calmed down and we've got materials sorted, we come back, take the temporary fix off, replace any damaged timber, lay fresh underlay, and get proper tiles back on. Skip that second visit and there's a good chance you're back to square one the next time it storms. Doing both steps properly is what actually keeps a roof dry for years, not just for one bad night.
Most home insurance covers storm damage — but claims move a lot faster when there's clear evidence behind them.
Insurers move quicker when the paperwork's already sorted for them, so this step tends to save people a lot of back-and-forth.
Catching small stuff early really does save you the middle-of-the-night version of this problem.
We're based in Ealing, close to the main roads, which is really what lets us get to people fast across:
If you're in one of these areas, we can usually be at your door quickly once bad weather hits.
A leak doesn't improve with time — it just gets into more places. Wiring, insulation, the things you actually care about in that room. Acting quickly is really the single biggest factor in keeping the final bill down.
If your roof's in trouble right now, call the 24/7 line or fill in the quick form online — either way, someone's getting back to you fast.
We move as soon as you call — a local roofer heads straight out, because with an active leak, minutes genuinely matter.
It's genuinely 24/7 — weekends, bank holidays, 3am, all of it. Someone real picks up.
Yes, properly fitted, it'll hold rain out fine until the permanent repair's done.
Sometimes, a bit — late hours and travel factor in — but you'll always see the price before anyone starts work, no surprises.
Most policies cover storm damage. We'll give you photos and a written report so your claim isn't held up waiting on evidence.
Active leaks, missing tiles, a fallen branch through the roof, or a chimney that looks unsteady — any of those, call straight away. A single hairline crack you noticed on a dry day can usually wait for a normal booking.
