Emergency roof repairs in Ealing

It depends on the damage, the height and the access. Checkatrade’s Ealing price guide (viewed October 2026) puts emergency roofing services at £261 to £941, with an average of £487. We tell you the make-safe cost before we start, and the permanent repair is quoted separately in writing.

Call straight away if water is coming through a ceiling or light fitting, slates or ridge tiles have fallen, a ceiling is sagging with water, or a flat roof has split. On the other hand, a small damp patch that isn’t spreading can usually wait for a booked repair in the next dry spell.

We stop the water first. For instance, that might mean re-seating slipped slates, sealing a failed joint or fixing sheeting down with battens so it holds in the wind. Please don’t try this yourself on a wet or icy roof. After all, a temporary repair keeps the house dry until the permanent fix.

Our van comes from Hayes, so we’re usually around 20 to 30 minutes from most of Ealing, depending on traffic. First, call 07720 607862 and tell us your postcode and what’s happening. Then we’ll give you an honest arrival time rather than a promise we can’t keep.

First, move valuables, put a bucket under the drip and keep people out of any room where the ceiling is sagging. If water is near lights or sockets, switch that circuit off at the consumer unit. Don’t climb onto the roof or a ladder in wind, rain or ice. Finally, photograph the damage for your insurer.

Generally, a homeowner who hires a competent roofing company isn’t responsible for the roofer’s own working-at-height safety; that sits with the contractor. Before any work starts, ask the roofer for proof of public liability insurance. This is general information, not legal advice.
