FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We aim to attend within 2–4 hours during working hours. Overnight emergencies are attended first thing the following morning. Call 01743 537230 any time.

Stay off the roof. If water is entering the property, place bowls under active drips and move valuables away from affected areas. Photograph all damage from the ground for the insurance claim. Do not attempt to cover the roof yourself — a partially secured tarpaulin in wind can cause more damage than the original defect.

Call 01743 537230 and describe what you've seen. We'll confirm whether a same-day visit is appropriate or book a survey within 2–3 working days. The surveyor accesses the roof, photographs the defects, and provides a written fixed-price quote the same day or the following morning. There is no call-out charge and no obligation to accept the quote.

Why Wem Specifically Matters for Emergency Roofer

Wem sits on the flat North Shropshire plain with no significant terrain to its west — the prevailing south-westerlies reach the town at full strength. Ridge tile mortar deteriorates faster here than in Shrewsbury's more sheltered position. The Shropshire Union Canal runs through the town, raising moisture levels for properties along the canal corridor.

A compact Georgian and Victorian town core around Noble Street and the High Street, with 1970s to 1990s residential development on the northern and eastern fringes. Welsh slate on the historic stock, concrete interlocking tile on modern estates.

Wind-driven ridge tile failure is the most frequent emergency call in Wem — more so than in Shrewsbury because of the exposed plain position. Lead flashing failure on Georgian chimneys in the town centre is a regular heritage repair. The 1970s and 1980s estates are entering peak nail sickness age.

Specific to Wem

The historic town core's Georgian properties present a different set of materials and failure modes from the modern fringes. Both require expertise — but the wrong approach on a Georgian chimney in the town centre can cause irreversible damage to soft period brickwork.

Our Emergency Response Process

1

Call answered immediately

Call 01743 537230 any time. During working hours, we aim to attend within 2 to 4 hours. Overnight emergency calls are attended first thing the following morning. We carry repair materials appropriate to the local housing stock on every call-out.

2

Safe assessment on arrival

We assess the damage from the ground before accessing the roof. In storm conditions, we confirm the roof structure is stable before committing to roof-level work. Safety is not negotiated — we do not put our team at risk to accelerate a repair.

3

Temporary weatherproofing

We carry heavy-duty weatherproofing materials to every call-out. If the permanent repair cannot be completed the same day, we make the roof fully watertight before leaving. We never leave a property with an open roof — regardless of what the permanent repair timeline looks like.

4

Written damage report

We provide a full written damage assessment and photographic record after every emergency inspection. This is suitable for insurance claim submission and is provided as standard — not as an optional extra.

Why Homeowners in Shropshire Choose Us

Honest Surveys

We survey every property physically before quoting — never from the ground or from photographs. If repair is the right answer we say so. We do not push replacements when they are not warranted, and we do not recommend repairs when replacement is the more economical decision over a five-year horizon.

Written Fixed Prices

Every quote is written, itemised and fixed before any work starts. No verbal estimates, no day-rate pricing, no additions once the job has begun without prior agreement. You know the exact cost before we lift a tile — and the price does not change unless the scope changes and you agree to it.

Our Own Team

No subcontractors, no agency labour. The team that surveys your roof is the team that carries out the work. We have been building our reputation in Shropshire since 2003 by taking direct responsibility for every job — something a contractor who farms work to subcontractors cannot offer.

10-Year Guarantee

All re-roof and major repair work carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee issued at job completion. We are fully insured with £5m public liability cover. NFRC registered. We have been trading in Shropshire for over 20 years — our guarantee means something because we will be here to honour it.

Our Approach: Survey, Quote, Complete

Every job starts with a physical survey — not a quote over the phone, not an estimate from the ground. We access the roof, inspect defects and their causes, check for related issues in surrounding areas, and photograph the condition. The written fixed-price quote is issued the same day or the following morning. Survey visits are free across all Shropshire postcodes with no call-out charge and no obligation to proceed.

We do not use pressure tactics, do not offer day-of discounts to rush a decision, and do not manufacture urgency. If a job can wait two weeks safely we tell you. If it needs addressing immediately we explain exactly why. Every quote is written and itemised — no verbal estimates, no additions once work has started without prior agreement.

Pricing and Payment

All prices are fixed before work starts. For repair jobs under £500, payment is due on completion. For larger jobs — re-roofs, full guttering replacements, chimney rebuilds — a deposit of 10 to 25 percent covers materials, with the balance on satisfactory completion. We never ask for full payment upfront on any job. We accept bank transfer and card. Full VAT receipts are issued at completion on all work.

Any contractor requiring full cash payment upfront, offering large on-the-spot discounts, or approaching you unsolicited at your door should be treated with caution. Legitimate roofing contractors do not operate this way. If you are unsure about a quote you have received, call us on 01743 537230 for an independent assessment.
