Water is coming in right now and you need someone today.
If water is coming into your house as you read this, ring 029 2010 0576. We answer around the clock. Talking to us for two minutes will tell you more than another hour of searching.
An emergency call-out is about stopping the damage, not finishing the job. We get you watertight first — sheeting, temporary covering, clearing whatever is blocking the water — then come back in daylight and decent weather to repair it properly.
We do not charge a call-out fee to come and look. These are guide ranges for the make-safe work itself in South Wales, 2026.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Come out and assess, day or night | Free |
| Temporary sheeting to stop ingress | £150 – £400 |
| Make safe loose slates, tiles or ridge | £180 – £450 |
| Clear a blocked or collapsed gutter | £90 – £250 |
| Emergency chimney make-safe | £250 – £600 |
| Permanent repair afterwards | Quoted separately, free |
We do not charge a premium rate for answering the phone at night. If the job genuinely has to be done in the dark or in bad weather, that is reflected in the quote and you will know before we start.
Every roof is different. The only number that matters is the one on your written quote, and that costs you nothing — ring 029 2010 0576 or ask for a free survey.
Yes. Roofs do not fail politely during office hours, and most of our emergency work comes in during storms overnight. Ring 029 2010 0576 whenever it happens.
For a genuine emergency in Cardiff or the surrounding area we aim to be with you the same day. During a big storm we are honest about the queue — if there are six houses ahead of you we will say so, and tell you what to do in the meantime rather than leave you wondering.
Storm damage is usually covered; gradual wear and tear usually is not. Insurers will want photographs, a description of what failed and an itemised quote. We provide all three as a matter of course. See our storm damage page for how the claim process normally runs.
Sometimes. If it is a slipped slate on a dry evening, yes. If it is blowing a gale, making you watertight is the sensible job and the permanent repair waits for weather you can actually work in. Rushing a repair in the wrong conditions gets you a second leak.
Water actively entering the building, anything structurally unsafe, or anything that could fall and hurt someone. A slate that has slipped but is still on the roof, in dry weather, is not an emergency — it is a job for this week, and we will book it in rather than charge you for an out-of-hours visit.
