Emergency roof repairs on Littleport property
Victorian brick terraces in the village, and bungalows, barns and long single storey roofs out along the droves. Older, taller and more exposed roofs are the ones that lose tiles first when the wind gets up.
Emergency roof repairs on Littleport roofs
Out on the droves we spend a lot of time on ridge and verge work, because a mortar bedded ridge on an exposed fen bungalow simply does not last. Dry ridge and dry verge systems are mechanically fixed and they stay put. The other regular is guttering and fascia work on properties where the timber behind the boards has been wet for years.
The most useful thing you can do before we arrive is get a photograph from the ground and move what is underneath the leak inside the house. We will handle the rest. Do not go up a ladder in wind to look, which is how most of the serious injuries in this trade happen to homeowners rather than roofers.
It matters here because completely open ground, so wind uplift is the main enemy rather than age., and that is the weather that takes ridge tiles and lead off in one go rather than gradually.

- Temporary weatherproofing so the water stops getting in tonight
- A written quote for the permanent repair, separate from the call out

- Dated photographs of the damage for your insurer
Signs to look for
- Lead flashing lifted or peeled back
- Water coming through a ceiling now rather than slowly
- Tiles or slates on the ground after wind
What happens when you call us out in Littleport
If the damage came from a storm there is usually an insurance claim in it, and the thing that decides claims is evidence. We photograph the damage before we touch anything, date it, and write up what caused it. That report is yours whether we do the permanent repair or somebody else does.
A recent job in Littleport
We re-covered a garage roof in Littleport with new treated batten and a breathable felt membrane, relaying the original tiles so it matched the house. The photographs from that day are on our page.

We give you the dated photographs and a written report describing the damage and the cause, which is what insurers ask for. The claim itself stays in your name and your control.

Yes. Littleport is one of the towns we cover as standard, along with Black Horse Drove, Little Ouse, Brandon Creek and the villages around them.
What does a emergency roof repairs job in Littleport start with?
A free survey. We come out, get on the roof where it is safe to, photograph what we find and send you a written quote. There is no charge for that and no obligation afterwards.
