Active Roof Leak in London? We Respond Within 24 Hours.
IRATA-certified rope access technicians on call across Greater London — containment, temporary weatherproofing and a full external survey to stop the damage spreading.
Situations Where Every Hour Counts
An active roof leak is not a planned-maintenance problem. Every hour the water continues to enter the building, the area of saturated masonry, timber and finishes grows. Tenant disruption escalates. Insurance excess often increases with the scale of damage.
Our emergency line is staffed outside normal hours so a technician can be on site the same day, often within hours, to contain the leak and protect what is below.
We work routinely with managing agents, residential block landlords, hotels and commercial property managers across London who need a single number to call when something goes wrong at height.
Our role on the first visit is simple: stop water entering, document what we find, and give you a clear repair route — without committing you to anything beyond the emergency callout itself.
Roof Leak Scenarios We Cover
Storm-Lifted Tiles & Slates
Wind damage, dislodged ridge tiles and missing slates exposing the underlay. We make safe and fit temporary covers.
Failed Flashings & Abutments
Lifted lead, cracked sealants and parapet abutments leaking into top-floor flats — sealed and reported.
Blocked & Overflowing Hoppers
Overflowing hoppers cascading down the elevation, saturating the wall. Cleared and traced to source.
Parapet & Coping Failure
Open coping joints driving water into the wall core during heavy rain. Sealed and surveyed for permanent repair.
Flat Roof Punctures & Splits
Felt or single-ply membrane failure. Temporary patching to keep tenants dry while permanent works are scheduled.
Falling Masonry & Loose Render
Public-safety hazards above pavements and entrances — secured and made safe ahead of permanent repair.
