Emergency roofer in Folkestone
Roof leaking or storm damage overnight? We make the roof safe fast to stop the water, then sort a permanent repair.
A roof emergency doesn't wait for office hours - and on the Kent coast a strong onshore gale can lift tiles and open a roof up in minutes. If water is getting into your home, the priority is to stop it before it reaches ceilings, wiring and belongings. We respond quickly across Folkestone, Hythe and Sandgate, make the roof safe, and then carry out a lasting repair. We take emergency calls during and outside normal working hours and aim to reach active leaks across CT19-CT21 the same day.
Emergencies we deal with
- Active roof leaks coming through the ceiling
- Storm and wind damage - lifted, slipped or missing tiles
- Fallen or loose ridge tiles and chimney debris
- Damaged or torn flat roofs letting water in
- Flashing blown off around chimneys and abutments
- Temporary tarpaulin make-safe to protect the property
How it works
Call us and tell us what's happening. We'll get to you as quickly as we can, make the roof safe - usually a secure temporary cover to stop the water - and protect your home. Once the weather and roof allow, we return to carry out the permanent repair and explain exactly what's needed and what it costs.
Emergency roofing FAQs
How fast can you get to me?
We prioritise active leaks and aim to get out as quickly as possible, making the roof safe the same day wherever we can.
What does an emergency call-out cost?
An emergency make-safe typically falls between £150 and £450 depending on access and the work needed. We'll be clear about the cost before we carry out the permanent repair.
Will you do the permanent repair too?
Yes. The make-safe stops the immediate damage; we then return to fix the roof properly. See roof repairs.
