Storm damage, sudden leaks, structural concerns — our emergency roofing team covers Hanover and the surrounding area around the clock. We make your roof safe, install weatherproofing and arrange permanent repairs fast.
Ridge mortar failure. When weather strikes, call us — we respond to emergencies across Hanover and East Sussex within 2-4 hours. Victorian terraces (1870s-1890s), clay plain tile, shared valley lines
Shared valley lines between terraces mean neighbour disputes are common — act fast to identify the source. Any visible tile loss, water ingress through the ceiling, or structural movement in the roof plane should be treated as urgent. We carry out a professional assessment on arrival and advise on the right course of action before starting any work.
We take your call, confirm location and initial description, and dispatch the nearest available team. On arrival we carry out a roof-level inspection, identify the cause and extent of the damage, and install temporary weatherproofing if a permanent repair cannot be completed the same day. You receive a written report and a quote for the permanent fix.
Emergency call-outs almost always result in two stages of work: make-safe (same day, to stop active water ingress) and permanent repair (within 5-7 days, to full specification). The make-safe visit includes professional weatherproofing — not just a tarpaulin. The permanent repair is quoted separately with full written specification and guarantee.

“Storm knocked three ridge tiles off at 11pm. Called and they were here by 1am, made it safe and booked a permanent repair for two days later. Brilliant service.”
“Ceiling collapsed after a sudden leak. Emergency team arrived within 3 hours, found the source, installed weatherproofing and had it permanently fixed by the end of the week. Couldn't fault them.”
“Tiles came off in the January gales. Same-day response, clear explanation of what needed doing and a fair price. Did exactly what they said they'd do.”
Brighton neighbourhood with Victorian (1870s-1890s) housing. The dominant roofing maintenance issue in Hanover: ridge mortar failure and shared valley lead disputes between terraces.
The dense Hanover terrace layout means shared valley lines between properties are the most frequent source of neighbour disputes. Identifying which property is responsible requires a roof-level survey from both sides.
Every job follows the same clear process — no surprises, no hidden costs, full communication throughout.
24/7 response. We take your call, confirm location and initial damage description, and dispatch the nearest available team. No call-out fee.
On arrival we carry out a roof-level inspection, identify the cause and extent of the damage, and explain our findings clearly before starting any work.
If a permanent repair cannot be completed the same day, we install professional-grade temporary weatherproofing — roofing felt or reinforced sheeting fixed properly, not a tarpaulin.
You receive a written site report documenting what was found and what was done, plus a written quote for the permanent repair.
Permanent repair carried out within 5-7 days of the emergency call-out, to full specification with written 10-year guarantee.
Written workmanship guarantee on all jobs. If the same issue recurs due to our workmanship within 10 years, we return and fix it at no charge.
We carry out roof-level surveys at no charge across Hanover and the surrounding area. You receive a written report and quote, with no obligation to proceed.
The quoted price is the price. If additional work is found during the job, we document and quote separately before proceeding — never without your agreement.
Verifiable at nfrc.co.uk. We meet recognised standards for workmanship, safety and insurance. Fully insured with £5m public liability cover.

No. There is no call-out fee for emergency visits in Hanover. You pay for the work carried out, not for us attending.
Stay safe — do not go on the roof yourself. Document damage from ground level with photographs. Place towels or buckets under any active drips to limit interior damage. Move valuables away from wet areas if safe to do so.
Storm damage to roofs is typically covered by standard home insurance, subject to your excess. Maintenance failure (nail sickness, failed mortar) is usually excluded. We provide written reports that support insurance claims.
Yes — every emergency call-out includes professional temporary weatherproofing if a permanent repair cannot be completed the same day. This is proper roofing-grade material, not a domestic tarpaulin.
We cover Hanover and the surrounding area including Brighton city centre, Hove. Call 01273 973 996 to confirm coverage.
We can carry out safe emergency work in most weather conditions. For work at height, we follow safe working guidelines and will not carry out roof-level work in unsafe wind speeds — but we can always install make-safe measures from ground level or via the loft.
