Emergency Roof Repair in Henleaze
Water coming through the ceiling, tiles in the garden or a ridge lifted by the wind. Call now and we will aim to make it safe the same day.
What to do while you wait
Contain the water
Buckets and towels under the drip. If a ceiling is bulging, a small hole in the lowest point lets water out in a controlled way instead of bringing the ceiling down.
Make electrics safe
If water is near light fittings or sockets, turn off that circuit at the consumer unit.
Stay off the roof
Please do not go up yourself, particularly in wind or rain.
Take photos
Of the damage inside and anything visible outside. They help us bring the right materials and help with any insurance claim.
Making it safe, then fixing it properly
Temporary weatherproofing
Sheeting, refixing loose tiles and sealing the immediate gap to stop water getting in.
Find the real cause
Once it is dry and safe, we trace where the water came from, which is not always where it showed.
Written quote for the permanent repair
With photographs, so you and your insurer can see what happened.
Storms and insurance
Storm damage is often old damage
A roof in good condition rarely loses tiles in an ordinary gale. Insurers know this, so a clear photo record matters.
The weather side takes it first
Met Office records show the strongest winds in this part of England nearly always come from between south and north-west. Ridges and verges facing that way are where we look first after a storm.
Do not let anyone rush you
A temporary repair buys time. You do not have to agree to a full re-roof on a doorstep.
