Systems we fit

Common Roofing Emergencies in Lincoln

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

Storm and Wind Damage

Homes on the hill catch the worst of the wind, and a storm can strip slates from a terrace roof or lift a run of ridge tiles in one go. We get out to make the roof safe as quickly as we can within our hours, then put it right properly.

Fallen Debris Damage

Lincoln's tree-lined streets and tall Victorian chimney stacks mean branches and loose masonry are a common cause of sudden damage. We check what's been hit underneath, not just the hole you can see, and make the roof watertight.

Sudden Leaks

When water suddenly comes through a ceiling on a terrace, the cause can be a failed flashing on the chimney stack or a slipped slate a few rows up. We trace it to source and stop it, rather than covering the drip.

Slipped or Missing Tiles

Old slate roofs lose slates when the nails holding them finally rust through, and once one goes, rain gets straight in underneath. We refix or replace it, and check the slates around it while we're up there.

FAQs about Emergency Roofing in Lincoln

How quickly can you come out in Lincoln?

We prioritise emergencies and get out as fast as we safely can within our hours, 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm. Call us and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.

A slate has come off my terraced roof. Is that an emergency?

If rain can get in through the gap, it's worth dealing with quickly, because water soaks the battens and ceiling below. Call us, and in the meantime keep clear of the pavement underneath in case anything else comes loose.

What should I do while I wait?

Stay off the roof and keep people away from anywhere debris could fall. Inside, move valuables away from the leak and catch water in a bucket or bowl. Tell us what you can see when you call so we arrive ready to help.

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 Lincoln 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.
