Roof Emergency? Call Us Now
A roof emergency doesn't wait for convenient timing. When a storm hits, a tile falls, or you notice water coming through your ceiling, you need a roofer who picks up the phone and gets there quickly. A1 Rooflines provide emergency roofing services across Warwickshire — we treat urgent calls as exactly that.

Storm Damage Repairs
High winds are the most common roofing emergency in Warwickshire. After a named storm or significant wind event, we receive calls across the county for:
- Slipped, cracked or blown-off tiles and slates
- Ridge tiles displaced or fallen
- Sections of roof covering lifted or stripped
- Broken or missing ridge tiles
- Aerial masts or chimney pots fallen onto the roof
- Fallen trees or branches causing structural damage
We can make the roof watertight with emergency repairs on the day and then return to complete permanent repairs once materials are organised.
Active Roof Leaks
Water coming through your ceiling is always an emergency — water damage spreads fast and can cause electrical hazards, structural damage and mould if left unaddressed. Common causes we attend to urgently:
- Failed or displaced tiles/slates allowing direct water ingress
- Failed lead flashing at chimney or parapet
- Split or blistered flat roof membrane
- Valley failure
- Failed felt beneath tiles near the eaves
Structural Roof Damage
In severe cases — fallen trees, structural collapse of a roof section, or major storm damage — the property may need temporary boarding or weatherproofing to be safe and habitable. We carry boards, tarpaulins and materials for emergency weatherproofing on every vehicle.
Emergency Service Areas
What to Do Before We Arrive
- Stay safe — don't attempt to access the roof yourself, especially in wet or windy conditions
- Contain the water inside — put down bowls and towels; move furniture and valuables away from the wet area
- Switch off electrics in affected areas if water is near lights, sockets or fuse boxes
- Photograph the damage — from the ground, inside and out. This helps with insurance claims
- Contact your insurer — most home insurance policies cover storm damage; call their emergency line if needed
- Call us — we'll advise on the next steps and get a roofer to you as quickly as possible
Emergency Roofing Costs
Emergency call-outs involve an additional charge for priority response and out-of-hours attendance. Typical costs:
- Emergency call-out / inspection: £100–£200 (credited against repair cost in most cases)
- Emergency weatherproofing / temporary boarding: £150–£400
- Emergency tile/slate replacement (same day): £150–£350
We always discuss costs before proceeding and don't carry out work without your agreement. We can also provide documentation for insurance claims at no additional charge.
After the Emergency
Once the immediate emergency is handled and the property is watertight, we'll assess the full extent of repairs needed and provide a written quotation for permanent work. We also provide:
- Photographic evidence report for insurance purposes
- Detailed scope of repair works
- Presence during loss adjuster visit if needed
- All permanent repair work carried out to a guaranteed standard
