Emergency roof repairs across Ipswich, Suffolk and the Essex border, 24 hours a day. Made safe and made watertight first, documented for the insurer, then quoted properly in daylight.
In an emergency the job is not to fix the roof. It is to stop the water, make the structure safe, and document the damage properly while the evidence is still there. The permanent repair comes after, in daylight, priced calmly.
The work
Call the number and a roofer answers, not a call centre and not an answering service. We triage on the phone first, because some of what gets reported as an emergency at 11pm is safely a morning job and we will tell you so rather than charge you for a night visit you did not need. If it is genuinely urgent we give you a realistic arrival time, not an optimistic one.
Emergency work is where corners get cut hardest, because nobody inspects it afterwards. We photograph the temporary works as well as the damage, so you can see exactly what was done at 2am, and the temporary fix is specified to survive the rest of the storm rather than just the next hour.
What moves the price. Emergency attendance is charged as a call-out plus the making-safe works, quoted before we start wherever the situation allows. The permanent repair is quoted separately in daylight, and there is no obligation to use us for it.
Our own photographs
Emergency work happens at night and in bad weather, so it almost never gets photographed. The jobs below are our completed daytime work.

“Tommy and his team were excellent workers, they replaced my flat roof on my extension, removed spray foam from my loft, and replaced my roof with a new one, also releaded a chimney and removed a chimney. Very friendly team, cleaned up after themselves every day.”
“Within 3 days I had a new dry ridge system installed and a new tiled porch roof. I am very pleased with the work. The team were very professional, very friendly and explained how they planned to complete the work.”
“Responded quickly to my request, arrived to fix the problem early morning the day after my request. Dealt with it quickly and efficiently.”

No small print games
Most roofers say "guaranteed" and leave it there. Here is exactly what ours covers, and exactly what it does not, before you commit to anything.

Straight answers
Yes, seven days a week, and a roofer answers rather than a call handler. What we will not do is promise a two-hour arrival at 3am in the middle of a named storm when that is not deliverable.
Water actively entering the property, anything structurally unsafe or at risk of falling, and storm damage that will get significantly worse before morning. Everything else is safely a next-day job, and we will say so.
Usually, where the damage is sudden and storm-related rather than gradual wear. We provide the timestamped photographs and the written report that claims are assessed on, and we deal with the adjuster directly if that helps.
No. Making safe and the permanent repair are separate jobs and separately quoted. Plenty of people use the emergency service and get the full works quoted elsewhere.
