How Quickly Can Emergency Roof Repairs Be Carried Out in Neath?

What an Emergency Visit Is For

The aim of an emergency visit is to reduce the risk and limit further damage, not usually to finish the repair in one go. That might mean securing loose material, covering an opening or stopping water getting into the building.

The permanent repair follows once the weather and access allow it to be done properly.

What Decides How Fast We Can Get There

• Wind and rain at the time. It is not safe to work on a roof in high wind or heavy, driven rain, and we will not put someone up there to look busy.
• The number of calls. After a named storm, many households need help on the same day.
• Access. Scaffolding or a tower cannot always be put up straight away, and a rear slope may not be reachable from the ground.
• What is happening inside. Water coming through a ceiling is treated differently from a loose tile with no leak.

Why Location Helps

We work from Victoria Gardens in Neath, so for many Neath properties we can often get there quickly. After a storm, distance decides who can realistically reach you. We will give you a straight answer on timing when you call rather than book a time we cannot keep.

What Happens When We Arrive

• We look at the roof and the damage and make the area safe where it can be done safely.
• We tell you what we found and what needs doing, in order.
• Where an insurer is involved we can provide a written quotation describing the defect.
• The permanent repair is arranged for when conditions allow.

What You Can Do While You Wait

Keep clear of the damaged area, protect belongings from drips and take photographs from the ground. Our guide on what to do when a storm damages your roof covers this in more detail.
