Emergency Roof Repairs in Wokingham
Roof repairs, re-roofs and flat roof specialists across Wokingham. Free surveys, fixed written quotes, tidy workmanship.
Wokingham Roofing Company responds to roof emergencies across Wokingham — water coming through a ceiling, tiles in the garden after a gale, a ridge line visibly out of place. The job in the first visit is containment: stop water getting in, stop anything else coming off, and make the property safe. The permanent repair comes after, priced calmly and in writing.
That two-stage approach is deliberate. Decisions made at 9pm with a bucket under the ceiling are rarely good ones, and no honest roofer should be pricing a re-roof by torchlight.
What the emergency visit covers
Leak containment
Entry point located where conditions allow and sealed temporarily — heavy-duty tarpaulin, sandbags and battens, or a rapid patch that holds until proper repair.
Make-safe
Loose tiles, slipped ridge sections and hanging guttering secured or removed before they land on a car, a conservatory or a person.
Storm damage documentation
Dated photos of the damage from the roof, which is exactly what your insurer will ask for. We've provided this evidence pack many times and know what claims handlers want to see.
The honest verdict
Before leaving you'll know whether this is a £250 fix, a bigger repair, or a roof at end of life — and nothing needs deciding on the spot.

Then the permanent fix
A tarp is a pause button, not a repair — UK weather will find its way past temporary work within weeks. Once the property is safe and dry, we survey properly in daylight, photograph the true extent of the damage, and quote the permanent repair as a normal fixed-price job. Storm damage in Wokingham typically means slipped or broken tiles, wind-lifted ridge and verge mortar, or flashing peeled back at a chimney — all standard repairs once the panic is out of the situation.
If a storm has exposed a roof that was already at end of life, we'll say so plainly and price both routes — patch it honestly or replace it properly — so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.
