We do not charge a call out fee so make your roof safe and avoid any additional damage to your roof. We are available 24 hours a day to attend your emergency roof repairs.

Even the best roof in the world may eventually require an emergency repair. The roof over your head is your first protection against Mother Nature and other damaging elements – it protects your home or your business and more importantly, your family or employees.

Scotland’s distinct weather means you may not have time to prepare for specific weather conditions, or can be completely taken by surprise when the winds pick up and start playing havoc with your roof tiles or slates.

We’ll arrive promptly, and diagnose and resolve your roof emergency issue quickly and economically. We are usually able to provide a temporary solution immediately and can then advise on repair or refurbishment options as the situation requires.

If you’ve just discovered a leak – here are some tips until we arrive:

  • If you discover a minor leak, tape a piece of string nearby and place a bucket underneath. The water should flow down the string into the bucket, instead of onto your floor. This will prevent further damage to your home.

  • For heavier leaks, drill a hole in the ceiling to allow water to escape (ensure your tools remain bone-dry however). Place a bucket underneath to catch the flow. This will keep the ceiling from becoming saturated with water—and possibly collapsing.

  • Make it a habit to regularly inspect your home for leaks or water damage so you can detect problems before they get worse.
