Protect people first.
Then assess the roof.
A roof leak can show up as a steady drip, water running down a wall or a damp patch that grows during rain. Wind damage may leave tiles on the ground or part of a gutter hanging loose. Tell us what you can see and whether the problem is continuing, so we can discuss the right response.
Keep people and pets away from falling debris, damaged areas and sagging ceilings. Do not climb a ladder or go onto the roof to investigate. If the area is safe and clear of electrical equipment, you can place a container under a drip and move belongings away from the water.
Water near lights, sockets or electrical equipment needs specialist attention. Keep clear and contact a registered electrician. If there is immediate danger to people, move to safety and contact the emergency services.
Photos taken safely from the ground or an unaffected room can help explain the problem. Note when it started, whether it changes with the wind or rain, and any previous repair. You do not need to find the exact cause before calling.

What an urgent visit
can involve.
The work depends on the damage, access and conditions. We agree the proposed scope before proceeding and explain any limitations.
Emergency roof repair costs in Charvil.
Our call-out fees cover attendance and assessment only. They do not include repair labour, materials, temporary coverings or access equipment. We confirm the exact fee within the relevant range before booking; any repair work is agreed and priced separately.
| When you need the visit | Call-out fee including VAT | Hours & scope |
|---|---|---|
| Daytime call-out | £180–£468£150–£390 + VAT | Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm, excluding bank holidays. Attendance and assessment only. |
| Out-of-hours call-out | £330–£660£275–£550 + VAT | Outside 8am–5pm Monday–Friday, plus all weekends and bank holidays. Attendance and assessment only. |

| Follow-up permanent repair | Written quotation | The repair specification, materials, access, disposal and VAT are set out for the agreed work. |
What can change the price?
Your location, the time of attendance and the assessment needed help determine the call-out fee. The separate repair price depends on roof height and pitch, the damage, matching materials and safe access. Scaffolding, lifting equipment and structural work are priced for the job.
Keep the two stages clear.
The call-out fee pays for attendance and assessment. It does not include the labour or materials to repair the roof. Temporary work and a later permanent repair are priced separately where needed. Do not assume the emergency charge will be deducted from later work unless that has been agreed in writing.
Prices include VAT at 20%, with the excluding-VAT figures shown alongside. Rates apply to the agreed time of attendance and are confirmed before booking. Our phone line is open 24/7, 365 days a year. Attendance availability and timing are confirmed by phone.

cover the cost?
You may be able to claim eligible call-out and repair costs back through your home insurance after paying for the work. Cover depends on the cause of the damage, your policy, excess and limits, and your insurer’s approval.
Contact your insurer before authorising work wherever possible. Ask whether the call-out, temporary protection and permanent repair are covered, and whether they need to approve your chosen contractor first. Wear and tear and poor maintenance are generally excluded. Reimbursement is not guaranteed.
Read the Association of British Insurers’ home insurance guidance.
A plan for the
lasting repair.
The next step is to understand why the roof failed and specify the repair. That may involve replacing damaged tiles, renewing a flashing detail, repairing a flat roof covering or correcting a rainwater outlet. Older coverings or hidden damage may need a wider assessment before a price can be finalised.
A written quotation should identify the area being repaired, materials, access arrangements, waste removal and any exclusions. If further defects become visible during the work, the proposed change and its cost should be discussed before additional work is authorised.
Keep a record of the damage and any work agreed, including the call-out charge and any separate repair costs. If you plan to contact your insurer, ask them what evidence or authorisation they require; cover depends on your policy and the cause of the damage.

Call FREE 24/7 →How quickly can you attend in Charvil?
Call 0808 225 0068 any time — our phone line is open 24/7, 365 days a year. Give us your postcode and a description of the problem, and we will confirm attendance availability and the proposed timing. Weather, safe access, your location and existing bookings all affect availability. Please confirm availability before arranging a visit.
Can I call at night, on a Sunday or on a bank holiday?
Yes. Call 0808 225 0068 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including weekends and bank holidays. We will discuss what has happened, confirm whether a visit can be arranged and explain the applicable call-out fee before booking.
Is an emergency call-out free?
No. Daytime call-outs are £150–£390 plus VAT (£180–£468 including VAT), Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm, excluding bank holidays. Out-of-hours call-outs are £275–£550 plus VAT (£330–£660 including VAT). These fees cover attendance and assessment only. Repair labour, materials and access equipment are extra and agreed separately.
Can the roof be repaired permanently on the first visit?
Sometimes a small, accessible defect can be repaired during the visit if suitable materials are available. Other work needs dry conditions, scaffolding, matching tiles or a closer assessment. We will explain whether the proposed work is temporary or permanent before you agree to it.
What if water is coming through a light fitting?
Keep away from the wet fitting and affected electrical equipment. Do not touch switches or appliances in the wet area. Get advice from a registered electrician about making the electrical installation safe. If anyone is in immediate danger, leave the affected area and call the emergency services.
Can you work on a roof during a storm?
Strong winds, lightning, heavy rain and unstable roof materials can make access unsafe. The first step may be an assessment from a safe position, with work at roof level delayed until suitable access and conditions are available. Urgency does not remove the need for safe working arrangements.
Does temporary weatherproofing replace the need for a repair?
No. A temporary cover or patch is intended to limit further water entry while the permanent work is arranged. Its suitability depends on the roof and weather. Ask what has been covered, what remains vulnerable and when the next inspection or repair should take place.
Will my insurer pay for the damage?
You may be able to claim eligible emergency attendance and repair costs back through your home insurance. This depends on the cause of the damage, your policy, excess and limits, and any authorisation your insurer requires. Contact your insurer before approving work wherever possible and keep photographs, quotations and invoices. Your insurer decides whether to reimburse a claim; wear and tear and poor maintenance are generally excluded.
Does submitting the form book a roofer?
No. Forms are for non-urgent enquiries and do not receive an urgent callback. A callback may take up to 24 hours. For urgent help, the best option is to call 0808 225 0068 directly — we take calls 24/7, 365 days a year. A visit is arranged only after availability, access and the charge have been confirmed.
