Systems we fit

Common Roofing Emergencies in Horncastle

Some of the most frequent reasons we're called out across Horncastle:

Storm and Wind Damage

Horncastle lies on the southern edge of the Wolds, and storms sweeping across the open country can strip pantiles and ridges from older roofs in town. We come out to make the damage safe as quickly as we can within our hours, then repair it properly.

Fallen Debris Damage

Trees along the rivers and in older gardens, and tall chimney stacks on period buildings, can come down in high wind and break through a roof. We check the timbers beneath the impact, not just the tiles.

Sudden Leaks

On older Horncastle buildings, a failed flashing or a slipped tile can suddenly let heavy rain into a loft or a flat above a shop. We find where the water is coming in and stop it, then plan the lasting repair.

Slipped or Missing Tiles

Old pantiles and slates can work loose for years and then come away in a storm. We refix or replace them with matching or reclaimed tiles and check the rest of the slope.

FAQs about Emergency Roofing in Horncastle

What counts as an emergency roofing problem in Horncastle?

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.

Water is coming into the flat above my shop. What should I do?

Turn off the electrics to the affected area if it's safe to do so, move stock and belongings away from the water, and keep people out of the room. Then call us and we'll get out as soon as we safely can within our hours.

Will you find other problems once you start?

Sometimes. On older Horncastle properties, storm damage can expose rotten battens or weak timbers underneath. If we find anything, we'll show you and explain what it means before any further work is agreed.

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 Horncastle 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.
