Storm damage
Tiles down after a gale?
Storm call-outs 7:00–20:00, seven days (sample hours). Outside those hours, leave a message and we call back from 7:00. We won't pretend to be 24/7.
Call 01632 960 418- Keep people and cars away from the area below the damage.
- Don't climb a ladder or go onto the roof in wind, rain or the dark.
- If water is near lights or sockets, keep clear. Switch off at the consumer unit only if it's dry and safe to reach.
- Put a bucket down, move valuables and take photos for your insurer.

07 · Questions
Straight answers
Do your prices include VAT?
Yes. Every price on this site and on our quotes includes VAT at 20%. The prices shown here are samples for typical houses; your quote is fixed after a survey.
My house is in a conservation area. Does that matter?
Often, yes. Like-for-like materials usually matter, and listed buildings may need consent before materials change. We check your address before we quote and price matched natural slate or reclaimed clay where it's needed.
Can I cancel after signing a quote?
If you sign the quote at your home, you have 14 days to cancel. If you ask us to start sooner, you may pay for work already done. We explain this on the quote itself.
What is a competent person scheme, and do I need one?
Larger re-roofing jobs are notifiable under the Building Regulations in England. A firm registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify that work, so you don't need a separate building control application, and you get a certificate at the end. Our registration number is in the footer (sample).
There are gulls nesting on my chimney. Can you help?
Yes, but not while a nest is active: wild birds and their nests are protected. We fit guards and spikes outside the nesting season, usually from late autumn to early spring.
Will my insurance pay for storm damage?
That depends on your policy. Sudden storm damage is often covered; wear and tear usually isn't. We give you a dated photo report you can send to your insurer, and we never promise what an insurer will pay.
