A roof problem does not always start as a major emergency. A small leak, a slipped tile or damage after strong winds can quickly become worse when rain gets into the roof. Acting early can help limit water ingress and prevent damage spreading to other parts of the property.
Damp patches or dripping water may indicate a roof leak that needs attention.
Missing or slipped tiles can expose the roof to rain and water ingress.
Missing or slipped tiles can expose the roof to rain and water ingress.
Water around a chimney may indicate damaged flashing or a roof junction problem. Our chimney repair service can help resolve the issue.

When urgent roof damage needs attention, the right repair depends on the roof type, materials and extent of the damage. We provide targeted repairs to restore weather protection and reduce the risk of further problems.
Where permanent repairs are not immediately possible, we apply protective measures to safeguard the property until follow up work is completed. Roof edge components can also be damaged during storms, so fascias and soffits may need inspection or repair as part of the recovery process.
We locate the likely source of a roof leak and repair the affected area to help stop water ingress. Our approach focuses on addressing the cause rather than simply covering the visible signs of a leak.
Strong winds and heavy rain can loosen tiles, damage roof coverings and leave parts of a roof exposed. We assess the affected area and carry out suitable repairs to help protect the property from further weather damage.
Damage to a flat roof can allow rainwater to enter the property or collect around vulnerable areas. We assess the condition of the roof and provide suitable flat roof repairs where required.
When permanent repairs cannot be completed immediately, temporary protection can help shield exposed areas from rain and wind. This can reduce further water damage while the required repair work is planned.
Damaged flashing around chimneys, roof junctions and other vulnerable points can allow water into the roof. We inspect the affected area and can arrange chimney repairs where chimney-related damage is involved.
Severe weather or sudden damage can affect more than the outer roof covering. Where the roof structure has been affected, we assess the condition carefully and determine whether repair, stabilisation or more extensive work is required.
When a roof is leaking or damaged after severe weather, the priority is to find the cause and protect the property from further damage. EBT Build assesses the affected roof area before recommending the appropriate emergency roof repair, rather than simply covering the visible problem.
From leaking pitched roofs and damaged tiles to problems around flashing, ridges and roof junctions, we focus on practical repairs that restore weather protection. Our experience with North London properties helps us understand the different roof types and older building features that can affect emergency repairs.
We inspect the affected area, identify the likely source of the problem and check safe access before repair work begins.

We cover emergency roof repairs across Islington, Camden, Hackney, Haringey, and surrounding North London areas. Response times depend on current workload and access conditions but we prioritise emergency call outs and aim to attend on the same day where possible. If same day attendance is not possible, we provide temporary advice on limiting interior damage until we can get to the property. Call us directly on the number above to confirm availability for your location.
Emergency roof repair costs in the UK typically range from £150 to £600 for a call out covering inspection, temporary sealing, and minor repair work depending on the roof type, the extent of the damage, and the access required. More extensive repairs involving structural damage, large areas of displaced tiles, or failed flat roof membranes will cost more and a written assessment is provided after the inspection before any additional work is agreed. EBT Build does not charge for the initial damage assessment provided during the call out, and all repair costs are confirmed in writing before work begins.
In most cases yes, provided the damage was caused by a sudden and unexpected event such as a storm, fallen tree, or accidental impact. Gradual deterioration and lack of maintenance are generally not covered under standard home insurance policies. EBT Build provides a written damage report and photographic evidence of the roof condition following every emergency call out, which can be submitted directly to your insurer to support a claim. We advise contacting your insurer as soon as possible after the damage occurs and before any permanent repairs are carried out.
In many cases yes, particularly where the damage is localised — a cracked or displaced tile, a failed flashing seal, or a small split in a flat roof membrane can often be repaired permanently on the same visit. Where the damage is more extensive or where the surrounding roof structure requires further assessment before a permanent solution can be specified, we apply temporary weatherproof protection and provide a written repair plan before leaving the site. We do not apply temporary fixes and leave without explaining what permanent repair is required and why.
Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the area beneath the leak immediately. Place buckets or containers to catch dripping water and lay down towels or plastic sheeting to protect flooring. Do not attempt to access the roof yourself — wet roof surfaces are extremely dangerous and accessing a storm damaged roof without proper equipment and training risks serious injury. Take photographs of the interior damage as soon as it is safe to do so as this will support any insurance claim. If water is coming into contact with electrical fittings or consumer units, turn off the electricity at the mains and call an electrician before anything else.
Yes. We carry out emergency repairs on EPDM, torch on felt, and GRP fibreglass flat roof systems as well as pitched tile and slate roofs across North London. Flat roof emergency repairs typically involve locating the split, lifted edge, or failed seam that is allowing water in and applying a compatible repair membrane or resealing the affected area. Where the flat roof covering has failed across a larger area, temporary protection is installed and a full replacement assessment is provided before we leave the site.
