Leaks & water coming in
We find where the water is getting in and stop it, with a temporary patch if a full repair can't be done on the day.

Emergency roof repairs
in Swindon
Water coming through the ceiling, tiles blown off in a storm or a flat roof that's split? Call us. We aim to get to you the same day to make the roof safe and stop the water, then come back with a proper permanent repair.
Storm & wind damage
Missing or slipped tiles, lifted ridge and verge, blown-off flashing and damaged flat roofs made watertight.
Tarpaulin & make-safe
Secure tarpaulin or temporary covers fitted properly so they stay put until the permanent repair.
Chimneys & loose masonry
Loose pots, cracked flaunching or masonry that could fall made safe.
Flat roof failures
Splits and blown seams on extensions, garages and dormers patched to stop the water.
Overflowing gutters
Blocked or broken gutters sending water down walls and into the house, cleared and repaired.
Emergency make-safe: £354 inc VAT
Our emergency make-safe visit is a fixed £354 including VAT. That covers coming out the same day where we can, finding the cause and fitting a temporary repair or secure tarpaulin to stop water getting in. Once the roof is safe, we give you a fixed written price for the permanent repair. Often the permanent fix can be done on the same visit, using the materials we carry on the van.
What to do while you wait
- Catch the water: buckets or bowls under the drip, and towels around them.
- Protect your things: move furniture, electronics and anything valuable out of the way.
- Watch the electrics: if water is near light fittings or sockets, switch off that circuit at the fuse board.
- A bulging ceiling: if a ceiling is sagging with water, keep clear of it and put a bucket underneath.
- Stay off the roof: wet, storm-damaged roofs are dangerous. Leave it to us.
- Take photos: pictures of the damage inside and out help with any insurance claim.
Storm damage and insurance
Sudden storm damage is often covered by home insurance, while wear and tear usually isn't. We take dated photos and can give you a written report of what we found and what we did, which is what most insurers ask for.

Emergency questions
Emergency roof repairs: your questions
How quickly can you get to an emergency roof leak in Swindon?
We aim for a same-day visit in Swindon and a same-day or next-day visit in the surrounding area. Call 07712 204985 and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.
How much is an emergency roof repair?
An emergency make-safe visit is £354 including VAT. The permanent repair is priced in writing once we have found the cause, and small repairs are often done on the same visit.
Can you fix it in the rain?
We can usually fit a temporary cover or patch in wet weather to stop the water. Some permanent repairs, such as flat roof re-covering, need a dry day, so we'll make it safe first and come back.
Is the tarpaulin a permanent fix?
No. A tarpaulin or temporary patch is there to protect your home until a proper repair is done. We will give you a fixed price for the permanent repair.
Will my insurance pay?
Storm damage is often covered, wear and tear usually is not. Check your policy. We provide photos and a written report to support your claim.
