Roofer in workwear repairing a flat roof by the chimney

Emergency roof leaks

After every big storm in North Holland we get more calls than usual. Tiles blown off, a gutter overflowing, lead that has come loose. We come as quickly as we can, and seal it first.

Seal first, then repair

In an emergency we first make sure no more water gets in, with new tiles, a tarpaulin or a temporary seal. As soon as it's dry, we come back for the permanent repair.

Insurance

Storm damage is covered by most buildings insurance policies. We photograph the damage, before and after, and write a short report you can forward straight away.

What customers ask about emergency roof leaks

01Can I go up on the roof myself if it leaks?

Better not. Wet tiles are slippery, and in wind a ladder against the wall is dangerous. Put a bucket down and leave it to us.

  1. After the February storm half a row of tiles was lying in the garden. The same afternoon there was a tarpaulin on, two days later new tiles.
