Emergency Property Maintenance in Coventry
In an emergency the job is not the repair. It is stopping the water, making the building safe, and getting the evidence before any of it is disturbed.

Emergency property maintenance in Coventry means making a property safe and watertight first: temporary covering over an opening, loose or dangerous material taken down, water stopped, and the area secured. We photograph the damage before touching it, because that is what an insurer will ask for. The permanent repair is inspected, quoted and carried out afterwards, once you have had time to think.
- Make safe first, repair second. They are separate visits and separate prices, and we say so up front.
- We photograph the damage before the make-safe. Afterwards the evidence is gone.
- Call rather than email if water is coming in now - it reaches us faster.
- Turn off the electrics to any area where water is coming through a ceiling.
- Nobody should be making a decision about a full re-roof at nine at night in the rain.
What we actually do for you
Storm damage
Slipped or missing tiles, stripped ridges, displaced flashings and fallen material taken down or secured so nothing else can come off.
Active leaks & water ingress
Finding and closing the entry point where water is coming into the building now, before anything else is considered.
Make safe & secure
Temporary covering, boarding and securing after break-in or accident damage, so the building is weathertight and closed up.
Unsafe masonry & structures
Loose chimney pots, leaning walls, failing lintels and anything overhanging a path or a parking space, made safe.
Burst gutters & overflow
Collapsed or blocked rainwater goods emptying down a wall, cleared and made functional before the wall takes the damage.
Evidence for your insurer
Dated photographs of the damage as found, plus a written description of what failed and what we did.
Built around how you own the property
Homeowners
Someone who turns up, stops the water, explains what has happened, and does not use the moment to sell you a roof.
Landlords & agents
A property made safe and a written report with photographs you can send to a tenant or an insurer the same day.
Commercial premises
Make-safe that lets you reopen, with the permanent work scheduled around trading hours afterwards.

Speak to us today0786 5778332How quickly can you get to an emergency?
Active water coming into a property, and anything unsafe, is prioritised over quoting and non-urgent work. We aim to make a property watertight or safe within 24 hours of your call. Ring rather than emailing if it is happening now - it gets in front of us faster.
What should I do before you arrive?
Stay off the roof and away from anything unstable. Move what you can, put a bucket under an active drip, and turn off the electrics to any area where water is coming through a ceiling or near a light fitting. If material has come down outside, keep people and cars away from below.
Do I pay for the make-safe and the repair separately?
Yes, and we tell you that at the start. The emergency visit covers making the property safe and watertight. The permanent repair is inspected, quoted as a fixed price and carried out afterwards - deliberately, so nobody is deciding on major work in the middle of a crisis.
Will my insurance cover it?
That is between you and your insurer and we will not pretend to know. What we can do is give you what claims usually turn on: dated photographs of the damage before we touched it, and a written description of what failed. Get those and your position is much stronger.
Can you make it safe if I am not there?
Usually, for external work, provided we can reach it and we have your authority. We send photographs of what we found and what we did, so you can see it even if you are away or abroad.
Is a temporary repair going to hold?
It is fixed to last until the permanent repair rather than draped over the problem, and if more weather is coming we plan for it. It is still a holding measure though, and we will tell you honestly how long we expect it to last.
