How We Approach Emergency Roofing Work

Emergency assessment is different from planned survey work — speed matters, but accuracy matters more. We prioritise identifying the immediate risk (is the roof structure compromised? is water entering the building? are loose materials endangering people below?) and implementing the fastest effective solution. This might be tarpaulin cover, emergency boarding, temporary flashing, or removal of dangerous loose elements. We document everything as we work — photographs, notes on conditions found, materials used — because this information is critical for your insurance claim and for planning the permanent repair.

Materials and Aftercare

Our emergency vehicles carry a permanent stock of heavy-duty tarpaulins in multiple sizes, temporary flashing strips, emergency repair tiles in the six most common profiles found across Godalming, lead patching material, sealant compounds, timber boards for emergency covers, and all necessary fixings. This stock means we can make most properties weathertight on the first visit without needing to return for materials. For structural emergencies requiring props or supports, we carry adjustable steel props and timber spreader beams.

After every emergency call-out, we provide: a written report within 24 hours detailing the damage found, the make-safe work performed, and our assessment of the permanent repair needed; timestamped photographs suitable for insurance submission; a fully itemised quote for the permanent repair; and where relevant, guidance on the insurance claims process including what to tell your insurer, what documentation they will need, and realistic timelines for assessment and settlement. We follow up within one week to check the temporary protection is holding and to schedule the permanent repair.
