Professional Roof Repairs in Bishop’s Stortford & Surrounding Areas

What Counts as an Emergency Roof Repair?
Emergency roof repair applies to any roofing issue that needs immediate attention, including:
- Structural instability
- Active water leaks
- Severe storm damage
- Fire or extreme heat exposure
What to do if Your Roof is Leaking Right Now
We understand how worrying a roof leak can be. There are steps you can take to mitigate damage before our roofers reach you. If safe to do so, remove any belongings from the area and place buckets to collect water. Take a note of the source of the leak as well as photographs, as this may help with an insurance claim. Always wait for professionals to access your roof rather than try to do so yourself, as it may be structurally unstable.

How to Spot a Roof Leak Before it Gets Worse
It isn’t always easy to identify the source of a leak. Signs such as wet patches on walls, excess humidity or damp smells could mean water has penetrated your roof rafters. In this instance, it is best to have your roof fully inspected by a licensed contractor.
Can Roof Repairs Be Claimed on Home Insurance?
Homeowners may wonder whether they can claim insurance for roof repairs - this depends on the circumstances. Whilst unforeseen events, such as storm damage or impact damage from fallen trees, are typically covered by insurance, age and general wear and tear are not. It’s best to seek clarity from your insurance provider directly, providing as much information as you can to support your claim.
Roof Repair vs Full Replacement: How to Decide
Below are some key points to decide
Minor Roof Repairs
For minor roofing issues, such as missing or damaged tiles on pitched roofs or cracks on flat ones, repair work can often maximise lifespan.
Major Roof Repairs
For extensive damage, repeat issues or ageing roofs, it is best to consider investing in a replacement - this is more straightforward than a brand-new roof, as we often reuse some original materials.
