🚨 EMERGENCY ROOF REPAIR NEEDED?

Why Choose Select Roofing for Emergency Repairs?

What Counts as Emergency Roof Damage?

• Storm Damage: Slates/tiles blown off, lifted gutters, missing sections
• Active Leaks: Water pouring in during rain, ceiling leaks, interior damage
• Structural Failure: Sagging roof, broken rafters, dangerous collapse risk
• Tree Damage: Branches through roof, limb impact, debris
• Flashing Failure: Water penetrating around chimneys, vents, skylights

Our Emergency Response Process

1. Immediate Assessment (Within 60 Minutes)

You call. We arrive. We inspect the damage, identify the cause, and explain what needs to happen next. This typically takes 15-20 minutes.

2. Temporary Stabilization (Same Day)

If the roof is actively leaking or dangerous, we deploy temporary weatherproofing—tarps, boards, or temporary patches to stop water damage and prevent further harm. This buys time for permanent repair.

3. Insurance Documentation (If Needed)

We photograph the damage, document the cause, and provide detailed reports for your insurance claim. We work directly with adjusters to expedite approvals.

4. Permanent Repair (Days/Weeks)

Once you approve the plan and insurance confirms, we complete the full repair. This might be slate replacement, structural repair, flashing rebuild, or full roof replacement depending on severity.

Common Formby Storm Damage We Handle

Formby's coastal location means we see specific weather patterns. The Atlantic wind exposure causes:

• Slate tile blow-off (especially older roofs)
• Gutter separation and failure
• Chimney flashing damage
• Tree limb impact (high wind breakage)
• Ridge tile dislodging

We've handled hundreds of storm repairs across Merseyside. Formby weather doesn't surprise us.

Do I Need Insurance or Cash?

Insurance: If the damage was caused by weather/storm, your buildings insurance likely covers it. We help with claims documentation and work with your insurer.

Cash: If you prefer to pay out of pocket (smaller repairs, no claim), we offer competitive emergency repair pricing. Call for a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you come out at night or on weekends?

Yes, absolutely. We're available 24/7, including weekends, bank holidays, and after hours. Storm damage doesn't wait.

How quickly can you fix it permanently?

Temporary stabilization happens same day. Permanent repair depends on damage severity and material availability. Most repairs complete within 3-10 days. We'll give you a timeline after the initial inspection.

Do you work with insurance companies?

Yes. We provide detailed damage assessments, photographs, and documentation for insurance claims. We can communicate directly with your insurer to expedite approval.

What if the damage is minor?

Call anyway. What seems minor can become major after the next rain. We'll assess and advise whether immediate action is needed or if it can wait for scheduled repair.

Can I claim this on insurance?

Likely yes if it's weather-related (storm, wind, fallen trees). Personal accident damage usually isn't covered. Your policy details will determine this. We'll help with documentation either way.
