About emergency roof repairs

When a storm strips tiles at midnight or water starts coming through a bedroom ceiling, you need two things fast. The roof has to be made safe and watertight, and you need an honest assessment of the permanent repair. Emergency roofers in our network respond to storm damage, active leaks, slipped and dangerously loose tiles, blown-off ridge lines and felt torn from flat roofs. A first visit typically secures the area and sheets or tarps the exposed section. Since insurers will ask for evidence if the cause was storm weather, the roofer also documents the damage with photographs as standard.

How we help

Find Trusted Roofers is a national network that connects UK homeowners with local roofers. Since we are not a roofing contractor, we don't do the work ourselves. Instead, you tell us about your emergency roofer job once, and we match you with a roofer in our network who covers your postcode and works on your roof type. Every roofer quotes from their own survey. You deal directly with them and choose whether to proceed.

We check the roofers in our network against Companies House, confirm public liability insurance, and note any TrustMark, NFRC or CompetentRoofer membership. We verify what we can, although we don't guarantee the work itself. The work is always contracted directly between you and the roofer.

Available across the UK

We connect homeowners with local roofers offering emergency roofer in towns and cities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Browse areas we cover. Since prices vary by region and access, see what emergency roofer typically costs on our roofing costs guide.

Emergency Roof Repairs — FAQs

What counts as a roofing emergency?

Active water coming into the property, tiles or slates hanging loose above doors, paths or pavements, storm-stripped sections of roof, and structural movement after impact damage. If debris could fall on someone, treat it as urgent and keep people clear.

What should I do while I wait for a roofer?

Contain water with buckets and move valuables, pierce a bulging ceiling bubble with a screwdriver over a bucket to release trapped water, keep everyone away from the drop zone outside, and photograph everything for insurance. Never go on the roof yourself.

Will insurance pay for emergency roof repairs?

Storm damage is one of the most common home-insurance claims. Insurers generally cover the emergency make-safe and the permanent repair when a defined storm event caused the damage. Photographs, dates and a roofer's written report make the claim straightforward.

How quickly can an emergency roofer attend?

In most cities a make-safe visit can happen the same day, though demand spikes after named storms when every roofer in the region is booked. Submitting your request with clear details and photos helps the roofer prioritise genuinely urgent jobs.

What does an emergency call-out cost?

Expect a make-safe visit to cost from around £150–£350 depending on time, access and how much sheeting is needed, with the permanent repair quoted separately once the roof can be properly inspected in daylight.
