Emergency roof repairs in Aylesbury

When a roof problem is an emergency

• Water coming through a ceiling, a light fitting or down a wall.
• Tiles or slates blown off or hanging over the edge.
• A ridge, hip or chimney damaged in a storm.
• Flashing torn away after high winds.
• A flat roof split or holed with water getting in.
• A tree or a large branch down on the roof.

If water is getting in or something could fall, treat it as urgent and call. A single slipped tile with no leak can usually wait for a normal roof repair visit.

What happens when you call

1. Call or WhatsApp a photo. Tell us what you can see from the ground and send a photo if you can take one safely.
2. We make it safe. The first visit is about stopping water getting in and securing anything loose before more damage is done.
3. We find the cause. Once the weather allows we inspect properly and photograph what we find.
4. A proper repair, priced clearly. You get a written quote for the permanent repair before any further work starts.

Storm damage and insurance

Storm damage is often covered by home insurance. Photograph the damage from the ground if it is safe to and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our inspections are photographed as standard, so you will have clear pictures of the damage and of the repair to share with them.

Most storm damage starts where a roof was already weak: old mortar on ridges and verges, nails that have rusted through or flashings that were never fixed properly. When we repair storm damage we look at the roof around it too, so the same thing does not happen in the next gale.

What an emergency repair costs

It depends on what has happened, the height of the roof and whether scaffold is needed to work safely. We explain what making the roof safe involves before we do it and the permanent repair is quoted in writing once we have inspected.

Why call Mionlach in an emergency

We are based in Bedgrove, Aylesbury, so most of the town and the villages around it are a short drive away. Emergencies are put first and the team has more than 40 years in the trade, including the leadwork, flashings and valleys where most storm leaks start. We photograph what we find and what we do, so you can see the roof for yourself without going up there.
