"A section of our roof collapsed during January storms on our Braunstone estate house. Called at 10pm, team arrived by midnight, made it safe and returned for the full repair three days later. Unbelievable service."
"Woke up to water coming through the bedroom ceiling on our Evington Road terrace. Called 7am, someone was on the roof by 9:30. Traced to a failed flashing — fixed same morning."
"Ridge tiles came down onto our garden in Oadby after high winds. Called the emergency number, very calm and professional on the phone, arrived within an hour. Cleared the debris and made safe properly."
In most cases we can reach properties within Leicester city and nearby areas such as Oadby, Wigston and Braunstone within 1-2 hours. Call 0116 319 1348 and we'll give you a realistic arrival time immediately.
Storm damage causing open holes or active leaks, structural collapse of any roof element, missing or displaced ridge tiles posing a falling risk, and any leak entering a property actively. If water is getting in or a roof element is unstable, call us now.
We charge a standard call-out rate for emergency work, which we confirm before attending. There are no hidden surcharges for out-of-hours or weekend emergency calls.
Yes. If a full repair cannot be completed immediately due to materials or weather, we install temporary weatherproof coverings to protect your property while we arrange the permanent fix.
If water is actively entering the property, place containers to collect it and move valuables away from the affected area. Do not go on the roof yourself — wet roofs and storm conditions are dangerous. If a section of roof has collapsed or there is structural movement, vacate the affected rooms. Call us and we will give you advice specific to your situation while we're on the way.
We charge a standard call-out rate for emergency work, which we confirm before attending. There are no additional surcharges for out-of-hours, weekend or bank holiday attendance. The repair cost itself is the same as for scheduled work of the same scope — we don't apply emergency premiums to the repair price.
Yes. We provide written damage reports for insurance purposes following emergency call-outs across Leicester. These detail the cause of damage, the emergency work carried out, and the recommended permanent repair scope. Most insurers accept our reports for storm damage claims. Ask us when you call and we'll include it as part of the job.
No. Wet and storm-damaged roofs are dangerous — loose tiles, wet felt and damaged structural elements create serious fall risk. Place containers to collect active water ingress inside, move valuables away from affected areas, and keep family members away from the area below any loose roof elements. Take photographs if safe to do so from ground level — these are useful for insurance purposes. Call us and we will advise on precautions while the team is on the way.
Storm damage to ridge tiles and hip tiles is the most frequent emergency call across Leicester and Leicestershire. Ridge tiles sit in mortar at the apex of the roof — once that mortar has cracked and dried out after years of weathering, a single high-wind event can displace several sections simultaneously. On the exposed golf course estate fringe in Oadby and the open south-westerly position of Hinckley and Blaby, we attend more storm-displaced ridge sections than in sheltered inner Leicester suburbs. On the nail-sick 1960s concrete tile estates in Braunstone and Eyres Monsell, wind events that wouldn't displace a securely-nailed tile can displace multiple unfixed tiles simultaneously.
When full permanent repair cannot be completed at the emergency visit we install professional heavy-duty breathable roofing membrane fixed mechanically to battens across the damaged area — not tarpaulins or improvised materials. A correctly installed temporary membrane on a domestic roof provides equivalent weatherproofing to the original tile covering for the days between emergency attendance and permanent repair. We never leave a property without confirming it is protected from further water ingress.
If you intend to make an insurance claim for storm damage to your Leicester property, photograph the damage before any repair work is carried out. Insurers require evidence of the damage as it existed immediately after the storm event. Photograph from multiple angles, including fallen debris and any internal damp marks visible from the loft. Note the date and time. Most home insurance policies cover sudden storm damage to the roof structure but specifically exclude gradual deterioration — your photographs help establish the damage was storm-caused rather than pre-existing.
We provide written damage reports for insurance purposes following emergency call-outs across Leicester and Leicestershire. Most insurers accept our reports for storm damage claims. This is included at no extra charge as part of the emergency attendance. Call us on 0116 319 1348 any time for emergency coverage across Leicester city and all surrounding Leicestershire areas.
Storm-displaced ridge and hip tiles are the most frequent emergency category across Leicester — accounting for approximately 40% of our emergency call-outs. Nail-sick tile displacement on post-war estate properties in Braunstone, Eyres Monsell and Thurmaston follows in frequency, with active lead flashing failures during sustained rain events the third most common. The pattern varies by area: inner-city Victorian properties in Highfields and Belgrave more often generate chimney flashing and lead valley emergencies; the post-war estates generate nail-sickness tile displacement; the exposed outer areas like Hinckley and Blaby generate more wind-damage ridge and hip calls.
