Is it an Emergency?
There are a few scenarios that would class your roofing repair needs as an emergency. or at least class it as needing repairs as soon as possible. If your roof has suffered damage and is letting in water at a rate that you are unable to cope with then due to the possible damage to the building structure this should be classed as an emergency. If your roof has been damaged to the point where you think it might collapse wholly or partially then this clearly classes as an emergency situation. Similarly if your roof is posing a hazard to those residing or working in the building underneath then you should evacuate the building and arrange for emergency repairs to be carried out.
Emergency Pitched Roof Repair
No job is too big or too small for emergency roofers. Pitched roofs are susceptible to damage during a storm due to fallen branches and even blown over trees. Tree damage can result in caved in roofs that require immediate attention to prevent any further property damage to your home's interior and even external structure. Emergency roof repair Essex professionals come fully equipped, ready to handle even the most extreme situations.
Emergency Flat Roof Repairs
Flat roofs, while less susceptible to tree damage, are vulnerable to water damage. During heavy rain storms, leaves and other debris may collect in gutters causing blockages. This may result in a dam of water building up on your flat roof. Depending on your roof design and drainage system, water like this could result in leaks affecting the interior of your home. A quick roof repair may provide temporary solutions such as laying tarpaulins over the roof while bad weather continues before full repairs can be conducted.
Types of Roofing Affecting Repair
Depending on the type of roof and severity of the damage, some repairs may only be temporary while the roofers wait for the proper materials. Be aware that repairing designer tile or slate roofing may take longer. Roofs damaged by fire, particularly thatched roofs, may take longer to assess and repair as safety hazards may be an issue. Regardless of the type of roof or extent of the damage, Essex emergency roof repair will provide immediate solutions to your problem to prevent any further property loss.
Extra Expenses Involved in Emergency Repairs
Before you schedule an appointment for emergency roof repair near me, make sure you fully understand the extra expenses you may incur. Most contractors – including roofers, electricians, plumbers, and even HVAC mechanics – work standard business hours. For an extra charge, some will come to your home in the middle of the night or even on a holiday to help you resolve your emergencies. These extra expenses you incur for emergency roof repairs vary from roofing company to roofing company, and that’s why it’s important to get multiple quotes from reputable roofers before you decide.

The Dangers of DIY
Attempting emergency roofing repairs yourself could be extremely dangerous, especially if the damage is severe and due to fire. Structural instability of the roof could result in bad falls and significant injury. Attempting roof repairs in continued bad weather can also be extremely dangerous especially during lightning storms. Always consult the professionals before attempting DIY.
Proper Tarp Placement
Though we don't recommend a DIY approach, if you’re comfortable with placing a tarp on your roof, this can prevent further water damage from impacting the structure of your home. It’s not a permanent solution by any means; in fact, you can think of it as a temporary bandage designed to stop further water infiltration. To do it, you’ll need tarp, measuring tape, a utility knife, some heavy boards, a saw, a staple gun, and some nails. The goal is to wrap the ends of the tarp around the heavy boards, then drape the tarp over the damaged part of your roof. The weight of the boards will hold the tarp in place tightly, which should allow any further rain to simply run off. Please keep in mind that this can be a dangerous task, and if you do not feel comfortable doing it, an emergency roofing contractor can help you place a tarp. Never attempt to tarp your roof while it is windy, lightning, or raining as these conditions only add to the danger.
