FAQs
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof or siding leak in Harrogate?
Our dedicated emergency team is on call 24/7 and can usually be on-site anywhere in Harrogate within 60–90 minutes of your call. We prioritise active water ingress situations, so even during peak periods you will receive the fastest possible response.
What temporary measures will you put in place to stop water damage before a full repair can be completed?
On arrival we isolate the leak source, remove any saturated insulation or debris, and apply professional-grade waterproof membranes or tarpaulins. We also install emergency roof sealants, edge flashing, or siding wraps as required, ensuring the property is watertight until permanent materials or larger works can be scheduled.
Can you work on all roofing and siding materials found in Harrogate homes and businesses?
Yes. Our engineers are trained to repair pitched slate and tile roofs, flat felt, GRP, EPDM, and single-ply systems, as well as uPVC, fibre-cement, timber, and composite sidings. We carry a broad range of replacement tiles, slates, trims, and fixings on our vans to handle most repairs in one visit.
How do you calculate the cost of an urgent leak fix and is the call-out free?
The initial emergency call-out, inspection, and temporary make-safe work are charged at a fixed rate that we confirm over the phone before dispatch. Permanent repairs are then quoted on-site once we understand the scope—there are no hidden fees. If further work is declined, you pay only the call-out and temporary repair charge.
Is my repair guaranteed and can you help with insurance claims?
All permanent repairs come with a written workmanship guarantee of up to 10 years depending on materials used. We supply detailed photo reports and invoices that meet insurer requirements and can liaise directly with your loss adjuster to speed up the claims process.
What should I do before you arrive and how can I prevent future leaks?
If it is safe, place buckets under drips, move valuables away, and switch off electricity in affected areas. Once the leak is controlled, schedule our annual roof and siding health check. Regular inspections, gutter cleaning, repointing of mortar joints, and replacing cracked tiles or loose siding panels early are the most cost-effective ways to stop leaks before they start.
