What We Offer

Rapid Emergency Call-Outs

A genuine local team, not a call centre. We prioritise active leaks and unsafe roofs and aim to make your home watertight on the first visit.

Emergency Leak Repairs

We trace the real source of the leak — not just where the water shows — and stop it at the point of entry.

Storm Damage Repairs

Slipped slates, missing tiles, lifted ridge lines and wind-damaged flashings secured and repaired after high winds and heavy rain.

Temporary Waterproofing

Properly fixed sheeting and secure temporary repairs that hold until the weather allows a permanent fix — never a loose tarp.

Chimney & Flashing Emergencies

Loose masonry, failed lead flashing and storm-damaged chimney stacks made safe quickly and repaired properly.

Insurance Claim Support

Written reports and photographs of the damage and repair, ready to support your buildings insurance claim.

The Proof is on the Roof

While You Wait for Us

The first hour matters. Catch the water in buckets and move furniture and electronics out of the drip zone. If the ceiling is bulging, pierce a small hole in the centre of the bulge to release the water in a controlled way – it feels wrong, but it can save the whole ceiling. If water is anywhere near light fittings or sockets, switch off that circuit at the consumer unit. And please do not get on the roof yourself, however tempting: wet tiles, wind and height are how people get hurt. Our full guide on what to do when your roof leaks in heavy rain walks through all of it step by step.

Photograph everything as it happens – where the water is showing, any visible damage from the ground, anything that comes down. Those photos support your insurance claim, and they help us diagnose the problem before we even arrive. Once the roof is safe, anything beyond the emergency itself is handled by our standard roof repair service, from single slipped tiles to chimney and flashing work.

We cover the whole of central Lancashire, with same-day emergency response across Preston, Chorley, Leyland and the surrounding towns.

Emergency Roof Repairs Questions & Answers.

Don’t find your answer here?
Just send us a message.

We’re based locally and cover Preston, Chorley, Leyland and the surrounding areas, so for active leaks and unsafe roofs we can usually attend the same day — often within hours. Call 01257 491 065 and we’ll give you an honest arrival time straight away.

Water coming in steadily, a sagging ceiling, tiles or ridge tiles that have come loose, storm damage to the roofline or chimney, or water near electrics. If it’s a slow drip and the weather has passed, a standard repair visit is usually the better (and cheaper) option — we’ll tell you honestly which one you need.

Whatever the conditions safely allow. In a storm, the priority is making the roof watertight and safe — a proper secured temporary repair. We then quote for the permanent fix and complete it as soon as the weather permits, with photos of everything we found on the roof.

We’ll always tell you the call-out cost on the phone before we set off, and the price of the repair before any work starts — no surprises. If the damage is storm-related, we can provide the written report and photos your insurer will ask for.

Yes. Most buildings insurance covers storm damage, and insurers want evidence. We photograph the damage before and after, provide a written report, and keep damaged materials where practical until your claim is settled.

A properly fitted temporary repair – secured sheeting, a dressed patch or a refitted tile – will comfortably hold through weeks of bad weather, not days. It buys time to do the permanent repair in safe, dry conditions rather than rushing it in a storm. We always tell you which parts of the fix are temporary and quote the permanent work before we leave.
