Common Roofing Emergencies in Saxilby
Some of the most frequent reasons we're called out across Saxilby:
Fallen Debris Damage
Trees along the canal and in established gardens can drop heavy branches in a storm, and loose chimney pots can fall onto the roof below. We check the battens and timbers underneath and make the roof watertight.
Sudden Leaks
A sudden leak in Saxilby is often a blocked or split valley overflowing in heavy rain, or a slipped slate. We find the cause and stop the water, then arrange the lasting repair.
Slipped or Missing Tiles
When old nails rust through, slates slide out of place, and on a pantile roof a gust can shift several tiles together. We refix or replace them and check the surrounding area before we leave.

FAQs about Emergency Roofing in Saxilby
What counts as an emergency roofing problem in Saxilby?
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.
Rain is leaking down through a light fitting in my Saxilby home. What should I do?
Turn the electricity off at the consumer unit if you can do so safely, and keep everyone away from the light fitting. Then call us so we can stop the water at the roof, and have an electrician check the circuit before it's switched back on.
My gutters overflowed in a storm and water got into the house. Is it the roof?
It may be the gutter rather than the roof. A blocked or overloaded gutter can push water back under the bottom row of tiles or down the inside of the wall. We'll check both and deal with whichever is letting the water in.
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 Saxilby 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.
