When a Norwich roof fails in a storm, the response time matters as much as the quality of the repair. A national operation that subcontracts emergency work to whoever is available cannot guarantee arrival times or workmanship standards. We are based in Norwich and carry emergency materials — common pantile profiles, lead sheet, GRP patch kits, temporary membrane — in the van at all times. Our target is on-site within 2–4 hours for any Norwich postcode. We provide a written make-safe report and storm damage assessment on every emergency call-out, which is the documentation your insurer needs for a claim.
A temporary make-safe is exactly that — temporary. Polythene sheeting and temporary membrane are not designed for sustained weathering and will fail within weeks if left in place. Once the immediate water ingress is stopped, we survey the full extent of the damage, photograph all defects, and provide a permanent repair quote within 24–48 hours. The emergency make-safe cost is credited against the permanent repair on jobs where we carry out both.
No call-out fees. No obligation. A local Norwich roofer who knows Aylsham properties inside out.
