24/7 emergency roof repairs across Swindon and Wiltshire. Storm damage, sudden leaks, structural failures — we respond the same day and make your property safe. No call-out fee.
When your roof fails, the damage to your home accelerates by the hour. Water running through ceilings, insulation soaking up moisture, electrics at risk — every minute counts. We respond to emergency calls across Swindon and a 15-mile radius the same day, often within 2–3 hours.
Swindon's exposed position on the Wiltshire plateau means storm damage is a regular occurrence. High winds displace ridge tiles on the 1960s estates across Penhill and Park North. Heavy rain overwhelms failing flashings on Victorian terraces around the Railway Village. And flat roofs on 1970s extensions across Walcot and Covingham develop sudden leaks when the felt membrane finally gives way after decades of freeze-thaw cycling.
Active water ingress through ceilings, missing or displaced tiles exposing the felt or decking, structural damage from fallen trees or debris, and chimney stacks that have become unstable. If water is entering your property or the structure is compromised, call us immediately on 0179 329 7084.
Our first priority is stopping the damage. We'll tarp exposed areas, temporarily seal leaks, and make the structure safe. Once the emergency is contained, we'll survey the full extent of the damage and quote for a permanent repair — which we can usually complete within days, not weeks.
The large council estates built across Swindon in the 1950s–70s — Penhill, Park North, Park South, Pinehurst — used concrete interlocking tiles fixed with plain steel nails. After 50+ years, nail sickness is endemic. It only takes one gale to strip tiles from a roof that's been silently corroding for decades. We see this every winter across these estates and can make-safe on the day, then schedule the permanent re-roof.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Honest pricing from a local Swindon roofer. Call 0179 329 7084 today.
0179 329 7084"Storm ripped tiles off our roof at 2am. Called at 7am and they were here by 9. Tarped it, made it safe, and had replacement tiles on within two days. Lifesavers."
"Water was pouring through the bathroom ceiling. They found the lead flashing had split and patched it within the hour. Came back the following week to do a proper permanent repair. Can't fault them."
"Half a row of concrete tiles came off in the January gales. They secured the roof the same afternoon and quoted for a full re-roof the next day. Quick, honest, professional."
We aim to be on site within 2–3 hours of your call for genuine emergencies. Swindon is our home base, so response times are fast across all areas — from Old Town to North Swindon, Penhill to West Swindon. Swindon's exposed plateau at 120m means storm damage is more frequent than in sheltered valley towns. Our crews carry the 12 most common tile profiles for same-visit repairs.
No. We never charge a call-out fee. You only pay for the work carried out. We'll give you a clear price before starting any repair.

Sometimes, if the damage is contained and materials are available. More often, we'll make-safe on day one and schedule the permanent repair within days. Either way, your property is protected from the moment we arrive.
Storm damage to ridge tiles on 1960s–70s estates is the single biggest cause. Flat roof membrane failure on older extensions is second. And chimney flashing splits after freeze-thaw cycling are third. All three are accelerated by Swindon's exposed plateau position.

Most storm damage is covered by buildings insurance. We can provide detailed reports and photographs to support your claim. We deal with insurance-backed repairs regularly.

Most storm damage to roofs is covered by buildings insurance. We photograph all damage before and during repair, provide detailed written reports, and can deal directly with your insurer if needed. We handle insurance-backed emergency repairs regularly across Swindon — from single tile displacement to full slope failures. The key is acting fast: temporary make-safe work prevents secondary water damage that complicates claims. Call us first, then call your insurer — we'll have your property protected while the paperwork catches up.
Swindon's storm damage follows a predictable geographic pattern. The western estates — Shaw, Toothill, West Swindon — catch the worst of south-westerly Atlantic systems that cross the Severn Estuary with nothing to slow them. The northern expansion around Abbey Meads and Blunsdon faces north-easterly cold fronts that bring ice and sudden temperature drops. Central Swindon and Old Town get partial shelter from surrounding housing density, but chimneys on elevated properties along The Planks and Okus Road are fully exposed. We know which areas get hit hardest each winter and prioritise response accordingly.
Flat roof emergencies spike in Swindon between November and March. The freeze-thaw cycling on the plateau cracks older felt membranes that have been slowly deteriorating for years. One hard frost can turn a hairline crack into an active leak overnight. The 1970s–80s rear extensions across Walcot, Covingham, Liden and Eldene are the most common source of these calls. We carry emergency flat roof repair materials on every van — butyl tape, liquid rubber, and temporary membrane — so we can stop the ingress within the hour and schedule a permanent GRP or EPDM replacement within days.
We know Swindon's geography inside out. From our base, we can reach Penhill in 8 minutes, Old Town in 5, Covingham in 12, West Swindon in 10, and Highworth in 15. This matters when water is pouring through your ceiling. We carry the most common tile profiles on the van — Marley Ludlow, Redland 49, Marley Modern — plus lead sheet, flashing tape, emergency tarpaulins, and temporary fixings. For most emergencies, we can make-safe on the first visit without needing to return for materials.
Not every roof problem is an emergency. A tile that has slipped but the felt underneath is intact is a repair, not an emergency — it can wait for a scheduled appointment. Active water ingress through your ceiling is an emergency. Missing tiles with exposed decking or no felt protection is an emergency. A chimney stack that has become visibly unstable is an emergency. Structural damage from a fallen tree or heavy debris is an emergency. The distinction matters because genuine emergencies get our fastest response — we drop scheduled work and attend immediately. Routine repairs get our next available appointment, usually within a few days. If you are not sure whether your situation is an emergency, call 0179 329 7084 and describe what you see — we will tell you honestly.
Emergency protocol: assess severity by phone, dispatch nearest available crew, arrive on site within 1-2 hours for genuine emergencies. On arrival: assess structural safety, identify the cause and extent of damage, photograph everything for insurance purposes, make the property safe using the most appropriate method — tarping for large exposed areas, temporary tile replacement for displaced tiles, liquid rubber or butyl tape for flat roof breaches, lead patch for flashing splits. Brief the homeowner on what we have done, what the permanent repair involves, and whether an insurance claim is appropriate. Schedule permanent repair within 3-5 working days.

Weather dependent — we never compromise quality for speed.
Access method depends on the specific job — ladder, tower scaffold or full scaffold. Always itemised in your quote. Scaffold is specified for: work above single-storey height, multi-day jobs, chimney and ridge access — always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra.
Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Swindon Borough Council. On restricted streets in Old Town, the Railway Village and parts of Rodbourne, we coordinate access to minimise disruption. Allow a few working days for permit processing.
All work carries our written 10-year workmanship guarantee. Materials carry separate manufacturer warranties on top.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
External work during standard hours. We sheet below and clean up each day. You do not need to be home. You do not need to stay home for external work — we just need access agreed in advance.
Work runs year-round where conditions allow. We build weather margin into every schedule and never leave a roof exposed. Swindon's exposed plateau at 120m produces more frost days and stronger gusts than sheltered valley towns — we factor this into every schedule.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Swindon roofer.
