Emergency roof leak repair

The first visit is about stopping water, not about the roof

The call when water is already inside: protection under the leak, an honest decision about going up in the dark, a temporary hold and a written handover to the permanent repair.

  • A call that starts with the building
  • Protection under the leak
  • A safety decision said out loud
  • A temporary hold on the roof

What moves the price The hour and the day · The weather on the night · Getting onto the roof in the dark

  • The inside dealt with first
  • An honest read on whether the roof can be walked
  • The water path found and closed
  • A hold built to stay on

  • Penetration and curb rework

What moves the price Roof area and the number of low spots · Whether the drainage can be corrected · Membrane type and age

Find out what the hail actually broke

  • Suspect impacts opened
  • Crushed board found and removed

What moves the price How many confirmed impacts there are · Whether the board under them is crushed · What the membrane is

  • Small corrective work in the visit price
  • A photographic report after each visit

  • Repairs and detail rebuilds first
  • Cleaning and preparation

What moves the price How much preparation the roof needs · Roof area · The system specified

  • Debris cleared and drainage restored

What moves the price How much of the roof moved · Whether water got in, and for how long · Debris, and what it did on the way

  • Laps opened by uplift closed properly
  • Fixings checked, and the pattern corrected where the system allows

Not sure which one you need?

Describe the building and what it is doing. If the answer is a different piece of work from the one you came for, we will say so, and if it is nothing at all we will say that too.
