The detail
Emergency Roof Repairs in Barnsley: what is actually involved
Ring us and tell us what is happening. If water is coming in, we will tell you what you can safely do to limit the damage while we get to you.
On site, we make the roof safe and stop the water getting in, then photograph the damage. Most home insurers want photographs and a written report of the cause, and we provide both.
Once the roof is secure, we quote for the permanent repair as a separate job, so you are never rushed into a bigger decision during an emergency.
