Storm damage to a Kesgrave property — concrete tiles loose from nail-sick fixings, a failed flat roof on an extension during heavy rain — needs fast response. We provide 24/7 emergency roof repairs across Kesgrave, Rushmere St Andrew and east Ipswich.
Kesgrave's large housing estates carry a roofing vulnerability that makes emergency calls here more common than their inland, sheltered position might suggest: nail sickness. On 1970s–80s concrete tile roofs where the original mild steel nails have corroded through, tiles are held in place largely by their own weight and any remaining mortar bedding. A storm that would cause minimal damage to a well-fixed roof can dislodge dozens of tiles from a nail-sick Kesgrave property in a single event.
When this happens, we prioritise making the property weathertight before rain causes internal damage. We carry a range of concrete interlocking tile profiles on our emergency vehicles — the most common profiles used across Kesgrave's estates — and can often carry out a significant proportion of the permanent repair on the first visit rather than just tarping and waiting.

📞 01473 807630"Lost eight tiles in the October storm — nail sickness meant they all went at once. Called at 9pm, they were with us by 7am. Tiles back on, temporary fix in place for the ones that were cracked, full repair done the next day. Excellent."
"Flat roof failed during heavy rain — water in the utility room ceiling. Same afternoon call-out, emergency patch applied, full GRP replacement booked for that week. Exactly what you need."
"Several ridge tiles off after the January gale. Emergency response the following morning, made safe and all ridge tiles checked and resecured. Very professional."
We aim to be with you the same day for Kesgrave emergency calls, typically within 1–3 hours from Ipswich. We cover Rushmere St Andrew and the surrounding east Ipswich corridor on the same basis.
Not necessarily immediately, but a nail-sick roof is a structural vulnerability. We'll carry out the emergency repair and then give you an honest assessment of the wider roof condition. In some cases a targeted repair and re-nail is viable; in others a re-roof is the better investment.
