What Counts as a Roofing Emergency?

Not every roofing problem requires an emergency call-out, but some situations should be dealt with as soon as possible to prevent further damage or safety risks.

Examples of roofing emergencies include:

• A roof leak that’s allowing water into your home or business.
• Storm damage that has left part of the roof exposed.
• Roof tiles or slates falling and creating a hazard.
• A chimney that’s become unstable following severe weather.
• A fallen tree or large branch impacting the roof.
• Significant damage following high winds.
• Water entering through a damaged flat roof during heavy rain.

If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, give us a call. We’ll be happy to talk through the problem and advise on the most appropriate next steps.

What You Can Do While Waiting for a Roofer

While it’s important to act quickly, it’s equally important to stay safe. Never attempt to climb onto a damaged roof or carry out temporary repairs yourself during bad weather.

There are, however, a few simple things you can do to reduce the risk of further damage while you wait for our team to arrive:

• Move furniture, electronics and valuables away from any active leaks.
• Place buckets or containers under dripping water to help protect your floors.
• Use towels to absorb smaller leaks and prevent water from spreading.
• If it’s safe to do so, move items out of your loft if water is entering the roof space.
• Photograph any visible damage to your insurance records.
• Keep family members or staff away from areas where parts of the roof could become unsafe.
• If water is reaching electrical fittings, switch off the electricity to the affected area if you can do so safely and seek advice from a qualified electrician if required.

Taking these simple precautions can help limit damage while avoiding unnecessary risks.
