Storm damage, sudden leaks, structural concerns — we respond to roofing emergencies across Nottingham the same day, every day. Make-safe first, permanent repair to follow. No call-out fees.
Water actively entering the property, tiles or structure displaced by storm, or visible structural damage that risks further collapse require immediate emergency response.
When it is not the answer: If the damp patch appeared gradually over weeks without rain, it may be condensation rather than a leak. A standard survey at £120-£250 diagnoses the cause. Read the full guide.
Tell us what you can see, where the water is, and whether it is getting worse. We dispatch immediately.
On site within 60-90 minutes across Nottingham. Full emergency kit on every van.
We inspect from the roof, identify the damage, explain what needs doing, and give a price before starting.
Tarpaulin, temporary sealant, emergency tile replacement, or structural bracing. Stopping further damage is the priority.
All damage photographed with dates for your insurance claim.
Scheduled within 1-2 weeks. Many emergencies are permanently fixed on the first visit.
Key Fact: The Met Office defines a storm as sustained wind speeds of 55mph or above. This threshold determines insurance coverage for roof damage claims. Source: Met Office.

Emergency response runs 24/7/365 regardless of weather. We work in conditions most roofers will not.
Emergency access uses whatever is safe and fast: roof ladders, towers, or emergency scaffold. We carry all access equipment on our emergency vans. Scaffold is specified for: never delayed for scaffold on a genuine emergency. Temporary access first, scaffold for permanent repair if needed - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Victorian terraces in Hyson Green and Lenton mean rear-access scaffold and permit-controlled pavement space. Three-storey semis in Mapperley need taller scaffold at £300-£600 extra. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Nottingham City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Alfreton Road, Mansfield Road, Radford Boulevard where space is tight.
Emergency make-safe is temporary by nature. The permanent repair carries the standard 10-year workmanship guarantee. Make-safe materials are specified to hold until the permanent fix.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
Emergency work happens when it happens. We minimise noise and disruption but the priority is stopping water entry. We clean up as much as conditions allow and return the next day to finish cleanup if needed. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
We respond in any weather. Storm damage make-safe is done during the storm if safe to do so. We do not wait for the weather to pass while your property floods. Trent Valley humidity extends drying times in autumn; exposed Arnold ridge catches easterly storms from Lincolnshire.
Covering NG1, NG2, NG3, NG4, NG5, NG6, NG7, NG8, NG9, NG10, NG11, NG13, NG16 and surrounding postcodes.
Nottingham's weather patterns create predictable emergency peaks. Winter storms from the west damage exposed rooflines on the Arnold and Mapperley ridges. The Trent Valley funnels wind that lifts tiles on properties across West Bridgford and Colwick. Summer thunderstorms cause flash flooding through blocked gutters on tree-lined streets in Sherwood and Wollaton. We carry emergency stock — tarpaulins, tiles, lead, cement — on every van and respond to calls across the full NG postcode area.
Move furniture and valuables away from the leak area. Place buckets under active drips. If water is pooling on a ceiling, carefully poke a small hole in the centre of the bulge and let it drain into a bucket to prevent the ceiling collapsing. Do not go onto the roof yourself. Do not attempt repairs in wet or windy conditions. Take photos for insurance before anything is moved.
Realistic prices for Nottingham and surrounding areas. Every job is quoted individually — free, with no obligation.
“Storm took three ridge tiles off our semi in Bulwell at 2am. Called at 7am and they were on the roof by 9. Made safe with a tarp, permanent repair done the next morning. Lifesavers.”
“Water pouring through the ceiling of our Victorian terrace in Sneinton after heavy rain. Emergency call-out — they found a blocked valley full of moss and debris, cleared it, sealed the source. Dry ever since.”
“Chimney pot blew off in high winds and smashed tiles on the way down. They were out within the hour, cleared the debris, replaced the tiles and re-seated the pot. Efficient and professional.”

Every job comes with a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and are registered with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors. All materials come with separate manufacturer warranties. If any issue arises within the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge. We have been serving Nottingham homeowners since 2005 and our reputation depends on standing behind our work.
Nottingham's housing stock spans every era from Victorian terraces to modern estates. Each type has different roofing materials, different failure patterns, and different repair requirements. A roofer who knows Nottingham can diagnose faster, specify the right materials first time, and anticipate problems before they become expensive. We have worked on roofs across every postcode in the city and surrounding areas for over two decades. That experience means faster diagnosis, better solutions, and fewer callbacks.
Once your roof in Nottingham is made safe, we schedule a full survey within 1-2 working days. The survey assesses whether the emergency damage revealed underlying problems that need attention. Storm damage often exposes nail sickness, rotten timbers or failed flashings that were not yet leaking but would have become problems within months. We give you a complete picture with a written report and photographs, then quote for all necessary work — both the permanent repair of the emergency damage and any underlying issues. You are under no obligation to use us for the follow-up work, though most Nottingham customers do because they have already seen how we operate.
We ask for no more than 20 percent deposit on any job. The balance is due on completion and your satisfaction. We accept bank transfer, cheque and card payment. For larger projects over £5,000, we offer staged payments tied to milestones — typically deposit, mid-point and completion — so you are never paying for work that has not been done. Every payment triggers a receipt and your guarantee documentation is issued on final payment.
After the job is complete, we do a final walkthrough with you to check every detail. Any snags are fixed on the spot. We photograph the completed work for your records and for our portfolio. Your 10-year workmanship guarantee is issued in writing with our company details, the work specification, and the date of completion. If any issue arises within the guarantee period, call 0115 670 1242 and we will return to inspect and resolve it at no charge. We have been honouring this guarantee across Nottingham since 2005 and we have never refused a valid guarantee claim.
