[Get Free Fixed-Price Quote](/contact) [0800 043 1108](tel:+448000431108) 10-year insurance-backed guarantee £5M public liability Most quotes booked within 48 hours 20+ Years experience TrustMark Government-endorsed 9.5 / 10 Fair Trades rated £5M Public liability 10-year HomePro guarantee Overview ## Emergency Repairs — what, who, when & why ### What it is Emergency response for wind and storm damage, active roof leaks, dislodged slate or tile, chimney damage, dislodged lead, and structural make-safe pending a permanent repair. ### Who it's for Homeowners after a named storm, landlords with tenants reporting leaks, letting agents needing rapid response, and commercial premises with continuity concerns. ### When you need it As soon as damage occurs — mobile line covers evenings and weekends for genuine emergencies. ### Why professional matters The first 24 hours after roof damage determine whether you pay for a repair or for a repair plus internal reinstatement. Fast make-safe is the difference between an insurance excess and a full rewire. The cost of waiting ## What happens if you leave it ### Damage escalation - One dislodged tile is a projectile in the next gust — public liability follows if it hits a car, a person or a neighbour's property. - Active leaks find electrics before you find them. A pendant light fitting fills with water in hours. - Wet insulation loses insulation value permanently and encourages mould that affects respiratory health within weeks. ### Common mistakes - Waiting for the storm to pass before calling — the sooner we tarp and make safe, the smaller the eventual bill. - Accepting a chase-you-through-the-door 'roofer' who knocks after a storm without insurance or credentials. - Not documenting damage photographically before make-safe — insurance claims often need pre-repair evidence. Our process ## How we deliver the work Step 1 ### Call Mobile line 07727 254394 — answered outside 8am–5pm office hours for genuine emergencies. Step 2 ### Attend Same or next working-day attendance across Wirral and Merseyside. Chester and North Wales next working day. Step 3 ### Make safe Temporary tarping, lead redressing, tile refitting or ridge securing to stop water ingress and remove hazards. Step 4 ### Document Photographs of damage, make-safe and any recovered materials — supplied to you for insurance claim purposes. Step 5 ### Permanent repair Fixed-price written quote for the permanent fix, scheduled at your convenience and, where appropriate, coordinated with your insurer. Benefits ## What you get from booking RTC ### Answered mobile line 07727 254394 — genuinely answered for emergencies, not routed to an overflow answering service. ### Same-week permanent repair Most storm-damage make-safes are followed by a permanent fix within 5–7 working days. ### Insurance-claim documentation Written cause-of-damage report and photographic record supplied for your insurer at no extra cost. ### £5M insured Public liability and employers' liability at £5M each with Covéa Insurance plc — properly insured to work in an emergency. ### No opportunistic pricing Same fixed-price approach as our normal work — storm response is not a licence to overcharge. ### Directly-employed team Not a network of subcontractors dispatched by a call centre — the person on your roof is the person who quoted it. The detail ## Materials, methods & specifications ### Storm damage make-safe Temporary weather-cover using heavy-duty tarpaulin secured to battens through the existing membrane, ridge and verge tiles rebedded or removed for safety, dislodged lead redressed and lightly weighted pending permanent works. ### Active leak diagnosis Water follows rafters — the drip on the ceiling is rarely below the actual entry point. We trace back to source with loft inspection, moisture readings and, if necessary, water testing. ### Chimney emergency Loose pots, cracked flaunching and dislodged crown work removed or secured. Full rebuild quoted separately once the immediate hazard is addressed. ### Insurance-claim support Written report explaining cause (storm, wind, impact), photographic evidence pre- and post-make-safe, itemised quote formatted to insurer requirements. No additional cost — this is part of the service. ### Coverage & response Wirral and Merseyside: same-day or next-day for genuine emergencies. Chester and North Wales: next working day. Genuine emergency defined as active leak, hazard to public, or structural risk.
