Common Roofing Emergencies in Grantham
Some of the most frequent reasons we're called out across Grantham:
Fallen Debris Damage
Mature trees in Grantham's older gardens, and the tall chimney stacks on its Victorian streets, can bring branches or brickwork down onto a roof in bad weather. We check the rafters and felt beneath the impact as well as the broken tiles on top.
Sudden Leaks
A sudden drip through a Grantham ceiling often comes from a lifted flashing at the stack or a cracked valley that's finally given way. We find where the water is getting in and stop it, rather than just catching the drip.
Slipped or Missing Tiles
On older Grantham roofs, the nails holding slates and tiles corrode over the years until one storm brings several down together. We refix or replace them and check the fixings across the rest of the slope while we're there.

FAQs about Emergency Roofing in Grantham
What counts as an emergency roofing problem in Grantham?
Storm damage, a tree limb through the roof, missing tiles letting water straight into the property, or anything actively letting water in and causing damage are the kinds of things we treat as urgent.
My Grantham roof is leaking but the storm hasn't passed. Will you still come?
We'll come out as soon as we safely can, but nobody should be working at height in very strong wind. If conditions aren't safe, we'll do what we can from the ground or inside, such as protecting the loft, and get on the roof as soon as the weather allows.
A chimney pot has come down in the wind. What should I do?
Keep everyone clear of the area below, because loose brickwork from the stack may follow it. Don't go up to look yourself. Ring us with what you can see from the ground and we'll check the stack, the flashing and the tiles it hit when we arrive.
Will my insurance cover storm damage?
Many home insurance policies cover storm damage. We're not insurers, but we can take photos and give you a written account of the damage and the repair, so you have what you need to support a claim.
Do you offer a guarantee on emergency work?
We stand behind our work. Talk to us about the specific job in Grantham and we'll explain what's covered before we start.
Do you charge just to come out?
Call us and we'll be straight with you about any call-out and what the repair is likely to involve before we do the work, so there are no surprises.
