Emergency Roof Leak Response
An active roof leak is treated as an urgent priority. Our roofers attend quickly to locate the source and stop water entering the property before it causes further internal damage.
Roofs & Water Ingress
Private and communal roof leaks, failed coverings, flashings and rainwater systems.
Our emergency roof repair service handles all types of roofing incidents across Southwark. From active leaks to storm damage, our qualified roofers respond 24/7 to make your property safe and weatherproof.
Temporary Weatherproof Covering
Where a full repair can't be carried out immediately, we install tarpaulin or temporary weatherproof covering to stop further water ingress until permanent works are scheduled.
Storm Damage Roof Repairs
High winds and heavy rain frequently dislodge tiles, lift ridge lines and damage roof coverings. We repair storm damage promptly, including full documentation for insurance purposes.
Flat Roof Membrane Repairs
We repair and replace damaged flat roof coverings — including EPDM, felt and GRP fibreglass systems — where the membrane has split, lifted or failed.
Flashing Repairs
Failed or displaced flashing around chimneys, valleys and roof windows is one of the most common causes of leaks. We repair flashing using lead or code-compliant alternatives.
Full Roof Inspection
Rather than treating only the visible symptom, we carry out a complete roof inspection to identify the true source of a leak and any related issues before they escalate.
Gutter and Downpipe Repairs
Blocked or damaged guttering and downpipes are a common cause of water ingress and overflow. We clear and repair them to restore proper drainage from the roof.
Emergency Structural Roof Stabilisation
Following severe storm damage or partial collapse, we carry out emergency stabilisation works to secure the roof structure and protect occupants until permanent repairs can proceed.
Fascia and Soffit Repairs
Storm-damaged fascias and soffits are inspected and repaired as part of the wider roof recovery process, protecting the roofline from further weather exposure.
Insurance Damage Assessment and Photographic Reports
We provide a detailed written assessment with photographic evidence of roof damage, supporting your insurance claim from first inspection through to completed repair.
Loft Drying After Water Ingress
Following a roof leak, saturated insulation and loft timbers are dried and, where necessary, replaced to prevent mould growth and long-term structural damage.
Permanent Repair Planning
Once the property is made safe, we provide a full written quote and plan to move from temporary covering to a permanent, guaranteed roof repair.
Roofs & Water Ingress FAQs
Can you stop a roof leak in the middle of a storm or at night?
Yes — active leaks and storm damage are treated as priority call-outs around the clock. Where full repairs aren't safe to carry out in high winds or darkness, we install temporary tarping to stop water ingress immediately and return to complete the permanent repair once conditions allow.
Will a temporary tarp really hold until the proper repair is done?
Our tarps are heavy-duty and battened at the perimeter specifically so they stay secure in wind and rain, not just draped over the damaged area. It's a genuine hold-the-line measure, not a token gesture, and we'll always agree a timeline for the permanent fix.
Do you cover flat roofs as well as pitched, tiled and slate roofs?
Yes, our roofers work across pitched tile and slate roofs, flat roof membranes including EPDM, felt and GRP fibreglass, plus flashing, guttering and rainwater systems on both.
How do roof repairs work on a shared or communal building?
We liaise directly with the managing agent or freeholder to agree instruction and access, and where the fault sits within a shared roof void we're clear about which costs relate to the individual flat and which to the building as a whole.
Will you help with my storm damage insurance claim?
Yes. Every storm or leak call-out is documented with photographic evidence and a written damage assessment, giving your insurer or loss adjuster what they need to process the claim without delay.
The leak keeps appearing somewhere different each time it rains — what's going on?
That's usually a sign that water is tracking along timbers or felt before it drips through, so the damp patch you see isn't directly under the fault. A full roof inspection traces the actual entry point rather than patching wherever the ceiling looks wettest.
