What Emergency Roof Repairs Involves and Who It's For
What it is
Emergency roof repair is about making your home safe and weathertight as quickly as possible, then putting a proper permanent fix in place. It covers active leaks, storm damage, fallen tiles and slates, and damaged chimneys.
Who it's for
Anyone with water coming into the house, a roof damaged in high winds, or loose materials that could fall. One customer told us the lads came out to help with an emergency and left everything clean and tidy afterwards.
When you need it
Call immediately if water is coming through a ceiling or light fitting, if tiles, slates or parts of a chimney have come down, or if a section of the roof has been exposed by a storm.
Why use a professional
Climbing onto a wet, damaged roof is dangerous. We have the experience to work safely and the know-how to stop the water in the right place, not just where it's showing.
Don't leave it
What Happens If You Ignore It
An active leak doesn't stop on its own. Each hour of rain adds more water to your ceilings, insulation and timbers, and storm-loosened tiles can come away completely in the next gust.
The risks of waiting
- Ceilings becoming saturated and collapsing
- Water getting into electrics and light fittings
- Tiles or chimney pieces falling onto people, cars or neighbouring property
- Rapid damage to belongings, carpets and plaster
- Structural timbers soaking and starting to rot
Common mistakes we see
- Going up a ladder in wind or rain to have a look yourself
- Waiting until the morning or the weekend is over
- Leaving electrics on near a leak
- Paying for a quick patch that's never followed up properly

A temporary fix is followed by a permanent repair, not left to fail.

In detail
Emergency Roof Repairs: Materials, Methods and Options
Every emergency is different. These are the situations we're most often called out to.
Storm damage
High winds can strip tiles and slates, lift ridges and damage flashings. We secure the roof, cover exposed areas and then carry out the full repair once conditions allow.
Sudden leaks
A leak that appears during heavy rain is often caused by a slipped tile, a blocked valley or failed flashing. We trace it and stop it, rather than just catching the drips.
Chimney damage
Loose pots, cracked flaunching or perished mortar can become dangerous quickly. We make chimneys safe and then repair them properly.
Flat roof failures
Ageing felt flat roofs can split or blister and let water pour in. We can carry out an emergency repair and talk you through replacing it with rubber or fibreglass if it's reached the end of its life.
Blocked gutters overflowing
Overflowing guttering can push water back into walls and roof edges. We clear the blockage and check fascias, soffits and downpipes for damage.

Why JD Roofing
Family-Trained Roofers
You Can Actually Reach
JD Roofing Specialists is run by John O'Connor, who has worked on roofs alongside his dad all his life. When you book emergency roof repairs with us, you deal with John and his team from the first phone call to the final sweep-up.
The same things come up in our reviews again and again: fair, competitive prices (often the best of several quotes), a team that turns up when they say they will, fast replies, clear explanations with photo evidence, and a site left clean with the rubbish taken away. Many of our customers come back to us for their next job.
We offer free quotes on all work and a 24-hour emergency call-out, and we're rated 4.2 out of 5 on Google (38 reviews), 100% recommended on Facebook (39 reviews) and 5 out of 5 on MyBuilder (11 reviews).
Six questions to ask any roofer before you book
Whoever you choose, these questions will help you avoid the most common problems homeowners run into.
- 01
- Will you show me the problem?A good roofer should be able to show you what's wrong. We take photos of the problems we find as standard, so you can see the evidence for yourself before agreeing to anything.
- 02
- What exactly is included in the price?Two quotes can look very different because one leaves things out. Ask what's being replaced, what's being re-used, and whether rubbish removal is included. With us, the clean-up and rubbish removal are always part of the job.
- 03
- Is the work guaranteed, and for how long?We give 15-year guarantees on full re-roofs, rubber flat roofs and fibreglass flat roofs, and a 10-year guarantee on felt flat roofs. Always ask any roofer to confirm guarantees before work starts.
- 04
- Are you insured?Working at height carries risk. JD Roofing Specialists carries £1.5 million public liability insurance, which protects you and your property while we're on site.
- 05
- How quickly will you reply?If a roofer is slow to reply before you've paid, they're unlikely to be quicker afterwards. Customers regularly say we text back within minutes, and one told us seven other companies never sent a quote at all.
- 06
- What happens in an emergency?Roofs fail in storms, often out of hours. Our 24-hour emergency call-out means you've got someone to ring when it matters most.
