Emergency roof repairs on Haverhill property
Post war and London overspill estates on concrete interlocking tile, with a small older core of clay tile and slate around the market square. Older, taller and more exposed roofs are the ones that lose tiles first when the wind gets up.
Emergency roof repairs on Haverhill roofs
That is why Haverhill throws up so much of the same work. Ridge and verge mortar cracking and dropping out, felt underlay torn back at the eaves so water runs behind the fascia, and first generation roofs now due a full strip and re-cover. The newer estates on the edges are starting to show the same thing about ten years behind the older ones.
An emergency call out is two jobs, not one, and it is worth knowing that before you ring anybody. The first job is stopping the water tonight. The second is repairing the roof properly, in daylight, when it is safe to be up there. Anyone who tells you they will do both at ten at night in a gale is not being straight with you.
It matters here because haverhill sits high on the chalk with the wind coming across open ground from the south west, which is hard on ridges, verges and anything bedded rather than mechanically fixed., and that is the weather that takes ridge tiles and lead off in one go rather than gradually.
What the job includes
- Dated photographs of the damage for your insurer
- Make safe: anything loose taken down before it comes down on its own
- The permanent repair booked in as soon as the weather allows
- A written quote for the permanent repair, separate from the call out
Signs to look for
- A fallen branch or aerial that has gone through the covering
- A ridge tile or chimney pot visibly moved
- Lead flashing lifted or peeled back
What happens when you call us out in Haverhill
Temporary does not mean careless. A properly fitted tarpaulin, weighted and lapped so water runs off it rather than under it, will hold for weeks if it has to. What does not hold is a sheet thrown over a roof and tucked under a ridge tile, which is why we would rather do it in daylight than at midnight if the water is not coming in yet.
