When a storm rips tiles off or water starts coming through the ceiling, you can't afford to wait. Because every hour a roof stays open lets more water into the building, damage spreads fast through insulation, ceilings and even the electrics.

Wind and heavy rain cause most of the emergencies we see. A gust can lift a whole run of tiles at once, while prolonged rain finds its way through even a small gap in the flashing.

We prioritise emergency roof repairs across Reading and the Thames Valley. Our first job is always to make your home watertight with a temporary cover, then arrange a proper permanent fix as soon as possible.

If you've had storm damage, we can also document it for your insurer. We fully insure and guarantee all emergency work, and we respond to your call as quickly as we can.

If you're dealing with a leak right now, our guide on what to do when your roof is leaking covers the immediate steps. You can also read more about how our emergency roof repair service works in Reading.

After a storm, it helps to know how to spot storm damage after high winds, since some faults aren't obvious from the ground. Our guide to insurance cover for storm roof damage explains what most UK policies typically include.
