Storm damage, sudden leaks or a tile failure mid-winter — we're on call around the clock across Ipswich and Suffolk. North Sea weather systems don't keep office hours. Neither do we.
Ipswich sits in the path of weather systems that track in from the North Sea and across the flat Suffolk landscape with very little shelter. Easterly gales in winter are among the strongest experienced in any UK county town — and they arrive with very little warning. A loose ridge tile in October can become a cascade of roof failures by February.
The 1960s–70s concrete tile estates on Chantry and Whitehouse carry a particular emergency risk: nail sickness means tiles are already poorly secured, and the first significant storm of the season can dislodge dozens. Victorian terraces around Christchurch Park and along Norwich Road carry their own risk — lead flashings that have never been replaced, ridge mortar that has softened over decades, and party wall junctions that can fail simultaneously in high winds.
Any situation where water is entering your home, where tiles or materials pose a falling risk, or where the structure of the roof is compromised. Don't wait until morning — a hole that lets in water overnight can cause thousands of pounds of internal damage. Call us and we'll advise immediately.
We carry temporary weatherproofing materials — heavy-duty tarpaulins, lead, flashing tape — and can secure most roofs within an hour of arriving on site.

"Lead flashing failed in a downpour and we had a stream running down the chimney breast. Same-day response, patched it that afternoon, came back the following week for the full repair. Honest pricing throughout."
