Storm Damage Roof Repair in London
A storm has ripped through your roof and water is getting in. We are open 24 hours — call and a real roofer will arrange an emergency make-safe, usually the same day, anywhere in London.
What Our Emergency Repair Service Covers
Storms do the same damage to London roofs again and again — lifted ridges, slipped slates, torn flashing and debris impact. Our first job is always to make the roof watertight, then to repair it properly. Here is what is included.
Emergency Make-Safe
Our 24-hour callout team secures loose material, stabilises anything that could fall, and stops water getting in — usually on the same day you call. We talk you through protecting your home inside while we travel.
Temporary Tarping
Heavy-duty tarpaulins are battened down properly over the damaged area — not draped with a few bricks. This buys you time for the permanent repair without the rain causing secondary damage inside.
Slipped & Missing Tiles
We replace slipped, cracked and missing tiles and slates like-for-like, re-bedding where the mortar or clips have failed. One missing tile is an open door to water, so this is the repair we most often do after high winds.
Ridge, Hip & Flashing Repairs
Ridge and hip tiles take the brunt of a storm, and lifted lead or flashing around chimneys and valleys is a classic storm failure. We re-bed, re-fix or renew these properly so the next storm has nothing to lift.
Debris & Impact Damage
Fallen branches, dislodged satellite dishes and storm-blown debris punch through roofs and guttering alike. We assess the full extent — not just the obvious hole — because impact damage often hides cracked tiles nearby.
Insurance Documentation Help
We photograph everything before and during the repair and provide a written report describing the damage and the work carried out. Insurers accept our reports, and clear documentation is what keeps a claim moving.
Signs Your Roof Took Storm Damage
You do not need to climb up — every one of these can be spotted from the ground or from inside. If you see any of them after bad weather, get a roofer out before the next rain.
- Tiles or slates on the ground — a tile in the gutter or on the patio means an open hole in your roof's outer skin that rain is already finding.
- A damp patch or stain on the ceiling — water shows inside as yellow-brown stains. Read what to do right now in our guide to water coming through your ceiling.
- Dislodged ridge or hip tiles — the very top of the roof takes the worst of the wind; a lifted ridge is often the first failure we find.
- Dented or hanging guttering — debris and wind tear gutters and downpipes loose, which then throws water against walls and foundations.
- Daylight or draughts in the loft — a torch in the loft reveals displaced tiles as pinpricks of light and damp on the felt beneath them.
- Loose flashing around the chimney — lifted lead flashing lets water run straight down the chimney stack and into the roof void.

Storm Damage Roof Repair Questions
We operate 24 hours and aim for same-day emergency make-safe visits across London. Call 07848 256099 and a roofer will talk you through protecting your home inside straight away, then arrange the urgent visit — usually within hours, depending on demand after a major storm.
Stay off the roof — storm-weakened roofs are dangerous. Photograph the damage from the ground, move valuables away from any leak inside, and put a bucket under drips. Our guide to temporary fixes before the roofer arrives walks you through the safe steps, then call us for the emergency make-safe.
Usually, yes — buildings insurance normally covers sudden storm damage, though not pre-existing wear and tear. We document everything with before-and-during photos and a written report that insurers accept. Check your policy excess first, and claim before authorising major work where the insurer requires it.
An emergency make-safe typically runs £180–£350 in 2026, slipped tile repairs £220–£450, and ridge or flashing repairs £350–£900 depending on access and materials. Every job starts with a free, no-obligation inspection and a fixed written quote — the price we quote is the price you pay.
