This service gives you a direct way to request help when water is entering the home or roof damage creates an immediate concern. Call rather than waiting for an ordinary quote enquiry, and explain where the property is, what has happened and whether there is a visible safety risk. An emergency roof situation may involve a displaced tile or slate, damage after strong wind, an active leak or loose roof-level material. The first priority is understanding the risk and what can safely be done. Emergency help should not be confused with a guarantee that every roof can receive a complete permanent repair immediately. Weather, access, the type of damage and material availability can influence the next step. No fixed arrival time or same-visit resolution is advertised. Professional help matters because attempting a repair in wind, rain or darkness can create a much greater danger than the original leak. Water may also travel inside the roof before appearing in a room, so the source is not always obvious. Describe what you can observe safely, keep people away from loose material and avoid the roof. Tiptop can discuss making the situation safe and limiting water entry where practicable, followed by an agreed repair or replacement scope where further work is needed. Why it matters ## Don't let the underlying problem continue. An active leak can affect belongings, plaster and insulation while the source remains outside. Loose roof material may also create a falling hazard. The scale of the risk depends on the damage and conditions, so explain any change clearly when calling. If there is a separate immediate danger to life, a fire, unsafe electrics or a major structural concern, contact the appropriate emergency service or specialist rather than assuming a roofing visit is a substitute for that response. Common mistakes include climbing up to cover the roof, moving displaced materials in the wind or standing below a damaged section to take photographs. A makeshift patch can expose you to a fall and may redirect water without making the roof safe. Do not approach wet electrical fittings or enter a loft with unsafe flooring to catch a leak. Moving belongings or containing water indoors is only appropriate where you can do so safely. The 24/7 phone line is the next step for urgent roof leaks and storm damage, without an invented response-time promise. Our process ## A clear next step, at every stage. 1 ### Call with the location and risk Ring 07346 861456 and give the postcode, active symptoms and any loose or fallen roof material. Explain if the damage followed a storm and which rooms are affected. You do not need to identify the roofing material exactly or climb to gather a photograph before requesting emergency help. 2 ### Discuss safe access and conditions The property, damage and current conditions affect what can be assessed or done safely. Strong wind, unsafe access or unstable material may limit immediate work. A call-out does not override these concerns. Clear information helps the next step be discussed without promising a fixed arrival time or a repair method before assessment. 3 ### Address the immediate situation Where practicable, the immediate aim is to make the roof situation safe and limit water entry. The action depends on the assessed damage, not a universal temporary-fix recipe. A full permanent repair may require different materials, suitable conditions or a separately agreed scope after the urgent concern has been considered. 4 ### Plan the lasting work Once the relevant condition is understood, the next repair or replacement can be discussed. Tiptop offers free roof inspections and no-obligation quotes, but emergency repair work is not advertised as free. Ask what is proposed and any applicable charge before work is agreed, keeping immediate measures distinct from the lasting solution. 5 ### Complete and clarify guarantees The lasting work follows its agreed scope. Every new roof installed by Tiptop comes with a 15-year guarantee; temporary measures and ordinary repairs do not automatically carry it. Ask about any specific repair cover. Payment is flexible in your preferred way once the job is complete, and the work area is tidied. Benefits that matter ## Make the right decision for your home. ### A phone line available 24/7 Urgent leaks and storm damage do not always happen during the day. Tiptop offers emergency call-outs day and night, so you can explain the situation when it occurs. Availability of the service is confirmed; a fixed arrival time is not. ### Safety before a makeshift repair You can report the concern from a safe place and avoid climbing onto a damaged roof. The assessment needs to consider conditions and access as well as the visible fault, instead of encouraging a risky patch simply because water is entering the home. ### Separate urgent action from lasting work Immediate measures and a permanent repair can have different purposes and scopes. Keeping those distinct helps you understand what has been addressed and what still needs agreement, rather than mistaking a temporary step for renewal of the whole affected roof. ### Confirmed reassurance, not invented promises Tiptop holds £1m public liability insurance and offers free inspections and no-obligation quotes. New roofs have a 15-year guarantee. Emergency pricing, arrival times and repair cover are not invented here; they need to be discussed for the actual situation and work proposed. Service details ## Understand the work, not just the finish. ### Active water entry inside the home When calling about a leak, explain which room is affected, whether water is dripping or spreading and when it began. Water can follow hidden paths, so the indoor position is useful context but not a definite map of the roof defect. Move belongings away only if it is safe. Do not touch wet electrics, stand under an unsafe ceiling or enter an unsuitable loft. Where a separate urgent electrical or structural danger exists, seek the relevant emergency help as well as discussing the roof. ### Displaced tiles, slates and storm damage After a storm, loose coverings or fallen material can be visible from the ground. Keep clear of the affected area and mention any risk to entrances, paths or neighbouring property when calling. The visible gap may be one part of the damage; adjoining coverings and details can also need assessing. Do not lift a fallen piece onto the roof or attempt to secure materials in the wind. Once conditions and access allow assessment, the appropriate immediate and lasting work can be discussed. ### Flat roof emergencies An extension or garage flat roof can leak through a damaged surface, edge, outlet or junction. The deck may also be affected beneath the covering. Walking onto it to find a soft section is not a safe way to diagnose the issue. Explain where water appears indoors and any known prior patches or rooflights. The covering type and underlying condition influence what can be proposed, so a generic coating or patch is not promised as a suitable emergency method for every flat roof. ### Chimneys, roofline and surrounding risk Storm damage may affect a chimney junction, gutter or roof-edge section as well as the main covering. Loose material above a path or doorway is a concern to describe, not something to investigate by standing underneath. The 24/7 service covers urgent leaks and storm damage, but not an unconfirmed emergency response for every possible building fault. Where there is suspected major instability or another immediate hazard, appropriate specialist or emergency assessment may be needed in addition to ordinary roofing help. ### Temporary measures versus a permanent repair An immediate step can reduce a risk or limit water while the lasting work is planned, but it is not necessarily a finished repair to every affected layer. Ask what the measure is intended to do and what remains to be addressed. The permanent scope may involve matching materials, junction repairs or wider renewal depending on condition. No universal temporary method is prescribed on this page, and no promise is made that all work can be completed at the first visit regardless of weather or damage. ### Calling from North Devon or Somerset Give the full address or postcode and describe access constraints such as narrow passages, shared roofs or an extension below the affected area. Tiptop is based in Barnstaple and serves North Devon and Somerset, including Bideford, Braunton, Ilfracombe, Minehead and Taunton. This coverage is not a claim of a fixed travel or response time. Clear information lets the situation be discussed, while safe access and the current conditions remain part of deciding what can happen next. Questions ## Straight answers about 24/7 emergency call-outs. How much does an emergency roof call-out cost?+No emergency price or call-out rate is confirmed on this page. Ask about any applicable charge and the proposed work when calling. Free inspections and no-obligation quotes do not mean emergency repairs are free. The damage, access and action required affect the discussion, and lasting repairs may need a separate agreed scope. How quickly can someone arrive in Barnstaple?+Tiptop offers a 24/7 emergency call-out service, but no fixed arrival time is advertised. Location, conditions, safe access and the situation influence what can be arranged. Call 07346 861456 with the postcode and the risk rather than relying on an unconfirmed response-time claim or waiting for a routine enquiry. Will the roof be permanently repaired at the first visit?+That cannot be promised before assessment. Immediate action may focus on safety and limiting water entry where practicable, while a lasting repair can depend on materials, weather and the full damage. Ask what has been addressed and what further work is proposed so temporary measures are not mistaken for a complete renewal. Does an emergency repair have a 15-year guarantee?+The confirmed 15-year guarantee is for new roofs installed by Tiptop. It is not automatically cover for an emergency repair or a temporary measure. Any repair-specific cover should be discussed with the proposed work. If the lasting solution is a new roof, ask for the written new-roof guarantee details. How long will a temporary roof measure last?+That depends on what is appropriate for the damage and the conditions. No fixed temporary-measure lifespan is advertised. Ask what its purpose and limitations are and arrange the lasting work where needed. Continuing to rely on a temporary step without understanding those limits is not the same as completing a permanent repair. Can I call at night or on a weekend?+Yes. The emergency call-out service operates 24/7 for urgent leaks and storm damage across North Devon and Somerset. Ring 07346 861456 and explain the situation safely. The service is not a promise of a particular arrival time or an immediate full repair in conditions where roof access would be unsafe. Should I climb up and put a sheet over the roof?+No. Do not climb onto a damaged roof to attempt a cover or patch, particularly in rain, wind or darkness. Keep clear of loose material and wet electrical fittings. Describe what you can observe from a safe position and call for help. Separate immediate danger to life or unsafe electrics needs the appropriate emergency response. Do you attend emergencies in Minehead and Taunton?+Tiptop serves North Devon and Somerset, including Minehead and Taunton. Give your postcode and explain the active leak or storm damage when calling. Coverage does not establish a fixed arrival time. Current conditions, access and the nature of the risk affect the immediate discussion and what can safely be proposed. ## Roof leaking right now?
