Emergency Roof Repairs in Bridgwater
Water coming through the ceiling, tiles in the garden after a storm, a flashing ripped away. Ring 0800 494 7291 and we will get the roof made safe and watertight, then quote properly for the permanent fix.
What to do while you wait
Stay off the roof
Do not climb up yourself, especially in wind or rain.
Contain the water
Buckets and towels under drips. If water is pooling in a ceiling, keep people out from under it.
Isolate electrics if needed
If water is near light fittings or sockets, switch off that circuit at the consumer unit if it is safe to do so.
Take photos
Photos of the damage, inside and out, are useful for us and for any insurance claim.
Make safe, then make right
You call
Ring 0800 494 7291. Tell us what you can see and whether water is coming in now.
Make safe
We get out as soon as we can and make the roof watertight: refixing or replacing tiles, temporary covers, or clearing a blocked gutter or outlet.
Find the cause
Once safe, we work out why it failed. Storm damage often finds a weakness that was already there.
Quote the permanent repair
You get a written quote for the proper repair, covered by our 20 year written guarantee once done.
What actually hits roofs here
South-westerly gales
The Met Office says the strongest winds in the south-west come from between south and north-west. Across flat, open land, exposed verges, ridges and loose tiles go first.
Heavy rain on flat ground
A blocked gutter or parapet outlet can send water inside in a single downpour.
Frost damage
Around 28 air-frost days a year at nearby Cannington. Water in cracked tiles and soft mortar freezes, expands, and loosens things.
Damage that was already there
Most storm damage starts as a loose tile, a perished bed of mortar or a tired flashing. A storm just finds it.
