Emergency Roof Repairs in Cambridge

When your roof fails, you need someone fast. We respond to emergency calls across Cambridge and the surrounding area within hours — day or night.

Storm Damage Across Cambridge

Cambridge sits on the exposed fenland edge where easterly winds funnel across flat terrain with nothing to break their path. When winter storms hit, the 1960s concrete tile estates in Arbury and King's Hedges take the worst of it — tiles lift, ridges crack, and lead flashings peel back from chimney stacks. We see the same storm damage patterns every year and carry replacement stock for the most common tile profiles in the area.

Leak Response — Same Day

Most emergency leak calls in Cambridge come from Victorian terraces in Romsey Town and Petersfield where original Welsh slate has deteriorated over 130 years. Valley gutters block with leaf debris from mature street trees, water backs up under the slates, and the first sign is a damp patch on the bedroom ceiling. We carry temporary weatherproofing materials on every van and can make your roof safe within hours of your call.

Our Process

Our Emergency Response Process

Your Call

You call us on 0122 366 6465. We ask a few questions to understand the urgency — is water actively entering the property? Is there structural damage? Are people at risk? This takes 2–3 minutes and helps us prepare the right materials before we leave.

Rapid Dispatch

We dispatch the nearest available team with a fully stocked van — tarpaulins, replacement tiles in common profiles, lead sheet, sealant, fixings and temporary weatherproofing. For genuine emergencies across Cambridge and surrounding Cambridgeshire, we aim to be on site within 2–4 hours.

Make-Safe

On arrival, we assess the damage, make the roof safe and stop water entry. This might mean tarping an exposed section, replacing blown-off tiles, or sealing a failed flashing. We photograph everything for your insurance claim.

Permanent Repair Plan

Once the immediate danger is dealt with, we assess what permanent repair is needed and provide a separate written quote. There's no pressure to proceed immediately — the make-safe work stands on its own. If you need an insurance report, we provide one.

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"Called at 10pm after a tile came off in the wind and rain was pouring into the loft. They were with us by midnight and had the whole thing sealed up. Absolute lifesavers."

Claire W. · Arbury, Cambridge

★★★★★

"Tree branch took out three tiles during the January storms. These lads turned up the same morning, cleared the branch, replaced the tiles and checked the rest of the roof while they were up there. Fair price too."

Mark D. · Cherry Hinton, Cambridge

★★★★★

"Woke up to water dripping through the kitchen ceiling. Called first thing and they were round by lunchtime. Turned out to be a blocked valley — sorted in under an hour. Highly recommend."

Tom S. · Romsey Town, Cambridge

Honest advice

How to Tell You Need Roof Repairs

Most roof problems announce themselves indoors before they are visible outside. If you have any of the signs below, a repair is usually the answer — but not always.

A damp patch or brown stain on an upstairs ceiling after rain
A tile or slate seen in the garden or gutter after wind
Daylight visible through the roof boards from inside the loft
Granules from the tiles collecting in the gutter or at the downpipe

When it is not the answer: If more than a third of the covering has failed, or tiles are slipping right across the roof from nail sickness, repairing tile-by-tile is money wasted — a re-roof is the better value. Read the full guide.

Cross-section of a pitched roof — ridge, tiles, underlay, battens, rafters, fascia, soffit and gutter.

Access

Access, Scaffolding & Permits in Cambridge

Most Cambridge repairs run from towers or roof ladders; a full scaffold is quoted only where the job needs safe standing time at height. Scaffold is specified for: chimney-side repairs, full valley rebuilds, and anything beyond a day at height on a two- or three-storey terrace - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.

Victorian terraces around Romsey Town and Petersfield mean rear access is tight and pavement scaffold often needs permit-controlled space. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Cambridge City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Mill Road, Gwydir Street, the terraces off Petersfield where space is tight.

Guarantee

The Guarantee in Plain Terms

Workmanship on the repaired section is covered for 10 years in writing; any replacement tiles or lead carry their manufacturer warranties on top.

Covered: workmanship for 10 years, in writing, transferable if you sell.
On top: manufacturer warranties on materials (terms vary by product).
Not covered: storm or impact damage - that is an insurance matter, and we will document it for your claim.

If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.

What We Carry

Emergency Materials We Stock on Every Van

Every emergency van carries a full range of materials to handle the most common call-outs without delay. We stock Marley Modern, Redland 49, Marley Ludlow Plus and Russell Grampian concrete tiles — the four profiles that cover over 80% of Cambridge's post-war housing. For Victorian properties, we carry a selection of reclaimed Welsh slate in the sizes most common across Romsey Town and Petersfield.

Lead sheet in code 4 and code 5 weights covers most flashing emergencies. We carry pre-formed valleys, lead soakers, stepped flashing kits and a supply of copper and stainless steel nails. Heavy-duty tarpaulins in three sizes provide temporary weatherproofing for any breach we can't close permanently on the first visit. Roof sealant, DPC strips, emergency boarding and a portable work light complete the kit — because emergencies don't wait for daylight.

Why Preparation Matters

A roofer who arrives at an emergency without the right tiles wastes hours sourcing materials while your home is exposed. We audit our van stock weekly and restock after every call-out. When we say we'll make your roof safe, we mean on the first visit — not after a trip to the merchant the following morning.
