Making a Damaged Roof Safe & Watertight

High winds across the Highlands can lift slates, strip ridge tiles and tear flashings in a single night, and a sudden leak can bring water through a ceiling with little warning. When that happens, the first job is to stop more water getting in and to make sure nothing loose is left to fall from the roof.

We secure what is left of the damaged area, clear away loose or broken material and fit temporary weatherproofing where a permanent repair cannot be finished straight away. That keeps your home dry while the right slates, tiles or flashing materials are sourced to match the rest of the roof.

Once the roof is watertight, you get a plain explanation of what failed and what the permanent repair involves. Emergency work is covered across Inverness, Fort William and the Great Glen, and the permanent repair comes with a FREE, no-obligation quote before it is carried out.

Pricing

Emergency Roof Work: What Affects the Price

Every job is priced on what it involves, and you get a FREE, no-obligation quote before anything is booked.

  • FREE, No-Obligation Quote
  • Price Agreed Before Work Is Booked
  • No Commitment to Go Ahead
  • Quoted by the Person Who Does the Work
  • Extent of the Damage

    A few lifted slates cost less to secure than a large section of roof that has been stripped by the wind.

  • Temporary or Permanent Work

    Making the roof safe and the later permanent repair are often priced separately, depending on what can be done at the time.

  • Access & Roof Height

    Taller buildings, steep pitches and awkward positions need more access equipment to reach the damage safely.

  • Replacement Materials Needed

    The type and amount of slate, tile or flashing material needed to match your roof affects the final cost.

How It Works

Making a Storm-Damaged Roof Safe

  1. Step 1

    Assessing the Damage

    We check the roof from safe access points to see what has moved, what is missing and where water is getting in.

  2. Step 2

    Making the Roof Safe

    Loose slates, tiles and broken material that could fall are removed or secured, so the area around your home is safe.

  3. Step 3

    Keeping the Weather Out

    Temporary sheeting or quick repairs close the open area so rain cannot reach the timbers, insulation or rooms below.

  4. Step 4

    Completing the Repair

    Once the roof is safe and dry, you get a FREE quote for the permanent repair. We review all work with you and confirm it is as agreed.

FAQs

Emergency Roofer FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most often about emergency roofers in the Highlands. If yours is not here, call and ask.

What Should I Do If My Roof Starts Leaking During a Storm?

Move belongings away from the leak, catch the water in a container and switch off electrics near any wet ceiling. Do not go onto the roof yourself. Call us and we will arrange to make it safe.

Can a Damaged Roof Be Made Watertight Before It Is Fully Repaired?

Yes. Temporary sheeting or quick repairs can keep rain out while matching materials are sourced for the permanent repair.

Is It Safe to Stay in the House with Storm Damage to the Roof?

In most cases, yes, but keep away from rooms with bulging or wet ceilings and from the ground below any loose slates or tiles until the roof has been made safe.

Will the Temporary Repair Need Replacing Later?

Usually. Temporary weatherproofing is there to protect your home in the short term. You get a FREE quote for the permanent repair once the roof is secure.
