When water is coming in, the priority is stopping it. We carry the materials to make a roof watertight on the first visit, then come back to do the permanent repair once the weather allows.
Call rather than use the form for an active leak. The form is monitored during office hours; the phone is not.
What counts as an emergency
An active leak causing damage inside, storm damage that has compromised the roof, debris on or through the roof, or anything threatening safety. If you are not sure, phone and describe it — we will tell you honestly whether it can wait until morning.
What to do while you wait
- Put buckets under active leaks to protect floors and furnishings
- Move valuables and electricals away from the affected area
- Do not go up on the roof yourself — this is the most common way people get hurt
- Stay out of rooms with a sagging ceiling or visible structural damage
- Photograph the damage as it happens, for the insurance claim
- Turn off electrics in any room where water is coming through a ceiling
Water travels. The stain on the ceiling is rarely directly under the hole, which is why we survey the whole roof rather than only the spot you can see.
What it costs
Guide ranges. Making the roof safe is a separate, smaller job from the permanent repair that follows.

Emergency roofing questions
Still unsure? Call 07468 429000 and describe it. We will tell you whether it needs looking at.
Our emergency line is answered 24 hours a day. We prioritise genuine emergencies and dispatch as soon as we can after your call, and we prioritise situations with active water ingress or a safety risk. Response time depends on demand and your location within Oxfordshire.
We do not operate a premium out-of-hours rate for emergency roofing.
Yes. We document the damage with photographs and provide a written repair estimate to support the claim. Confirm your cover with your insurer, then we will handle the documentation.
A properly installed temporary cover will protect the property for weeks or months, but it is not a permanent solution. We recommend arranging the permanent repair as soon as the weather allows.
