Emergency roof repairs on Mildenhall roofs
The job we get called for most around Mildenhall is mortar failure. Bedded ridge and verge mortar cracks, water gets behind it, the batten ends rot and then the whole edge of the roof starts to lift. It is a straightforward fix if it is caught, and a re-roof if it is not.
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 flat, open and dry, with the wind coming straight off the fen., and that is the weather that takes ridge tiles and lead off in one go rather than gradually.
What the job includes
- The permanent repair booked in as soon as the weather allows
- Dated photographs of the damage for your insurer
- A written quote for the permanent repair, separate from the call out
- Temporary weatherproofing so the water stops getting in tonight
Signs to look for
- Water coming through a ceiling now rather than slowly
- Tiles or slates on the ground after wind
- A fallen branch or aerial that has gone through the covering
