Emergency Roof Repairs in Coventry
In an emergency the first job is not the repair - it is stopping the water and making the property safe. The proper fix follows once we can see what we are dealing with.

Emergency roof repairs in Coventry mean making a property safe and watertight first: temporary covering over the opening, loose or dangerous material taken down, debris cleared and the water stopped. We photograph the damage before we touch it, because that is what your insurer will ask for, then quote the permanent repair separately once the roof can be inspected properly.
- Make safe first, repair second. The two are separate visits and separate prices.
- We photograph storm damage before the make-safe - afterwards the evidence is gone.
- Active water coming into a property is prioritised over quoting new work.
- Do not go up yourself in a storm. Most of what we are called to after bad weather is a two-person job with edge protection.
- Turn off the electrics to any area where water is coming through a ceiling.
The work itself, in plain terms
Storm damage made safe
Slipped, lifted or missing tiles, stripped ridges and displaced flashings - taken down or secured so nothing else can come off onto a car, a path or a neighbour.
Temporary weatherproofing
Sheeting or temporary covering fixed over the opening properly, so it survives the next band of weather rather than flapping loose by morning.
Active leaks stopped
Finding and closing the entry point where water is coming into the building now, before anything else is considered.
Evidence for your insurer
Dated photographs of the damage as found, plus a written description of what failed and what we did. This is usually what a claim turns on.
The permanent repair
Once the roof is safe and dry we inspect it properly and quote the real fix as a fixed price - no pressure, and no decisions made while you are stressed.
Blocked and burst rainwater
Overflowing gutters and split downpipes soaking a wall are an emergency too, and usually a quick one to put right.
Built around how you own the property
Homeowners
Someone who turns up, stops the water, tells you plainly what has happened, and does not use the situation to sell you a roof.
Landlords & agents
One call, the property made safe, and a written report with photographs you can pass to a tenant or an insurer the same day.
Commercial property
Make-safe that lets you reopen, with the permanent work scheduled around trading hours afterwards.
The jobs that start with a phone call
- 01
Tiles on the lawn after a gale, with no way of knowing from the ground whether the roof underneath is now exposed.
- 02
Water coming through a ceiling during heavy rain, with the light fitting filling up.
- 03
A ridge tile or chimney pot that has moved and is now sitting over a pavement or a parking space.
- 04
Lead flashing peeled back by wind, leaving an open joint where the roof meets a wall.
- 05
A gutter that has come away from the fascia and is emptying straight down the brickwork.
- 06
An insurer asking for evidence of storm damage that nobody photographed before it was patched up.

Speak to us today0786 5778332How quickly can you get to an emergency in Coventry?
Active water coming into a property is prioritised over quoting and non-urgent work, and we aim to make a property watertight within 24 hours of your call. Call rather than email if water is coming in now - it gets in front of us faster.
What should I do before you arrive?
Stay off the roof. Move what you can out of the way, 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 anything has come down outside, keep people and cars away from the area below the roof.
Do I pay for the make-safe and the repair separately?
Yes, and we tell you that up front. The emergency visit covers getting the property safe and watertight; the permanent repair is inspected, quoted as a fixed price and carried out afterwards, once you have had time to think and talk to your insurer.
Will my insurance cover storm damage?
That is between you and your insurer, but evidence decides most claims - which is why we photograph the damage as we find it, before the make-safe, and give you a written description of what failed. We cannot tell you whether you are covered, and we will not pretend to.
Can you make it safe if I am not there?
Usually yes, for an external make-safe, as long as we can reach the roof 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.
Is a temporary repair going to leak again?
A temporary covering is fixed to last until the permanent repair, not simply draped over the hole. If a second band of weather is coming we say so and plan for it. It is a holding measure though, and we will always tell you how long we expect it to hold.
