Water dripping through a light fitting, a ceiling starting to bulge, or tiles scattered across the garden after a storm all need dealing with quickly to stop the damage spreading. Our emergency roofing service covers Durham and the surrounding area, and the first goal is always the same: make the roof safe and stop the water. East View Roofing is based in Hartlepool and works throughout County Durham. When you call, Luke will ask a few questions about what is happening so he can give you sensible advice straight away, such as moving belongings, putting down buckets and turning off electrics near the leak if it is safe to do so. Once we are on site, we find where the water is getting in, carry out a temporary or permanent fix depending on the conditions, and explain what further work, if any, is needed. You will get a clear price for any follow-up repair before it is carried out. What happens if it's left ## Roof Emergencies We Deal With in Durham These are the situations that usually lead to an emergency call. In most cases quick action keeps the repair small. ### Active leaks Water coming through a ceiling, down a wall or into the loft. We trace the source, which is often not directly above the drip. ### Storm-damaged tiles and slates High winds lift and remove tiles, slates and ridge pieces, leaving the felt exposed to rain. ### Loose ridge or chimney pieces Loose ridge tiles or chimney masonry can be a safety risk as well as a leak risk. We make them secure. ### Flat roof failures Splits, blisters and lifted edges on felt flat roofs over extensions, garages and bays can let in a lot of water quickly. ### Blocked or damaged valleys and gutters Overflowing valleys and broken gutters during heavy rain can send water back under the roof covering or into walls. ### What not to do in a roof emergency - Climbing onto the roof yourself, especially in wind or rain. - Ignoring a bulging ceiling, which can collapse if water is allowed to collect. - Leaving electrics on near water coming through the ceiling. - Accepting a quick patch without asking what caused the problem.

Sometimes a permanent repair can be done on the first visit, for example replacing a few blown tiles on a dry day. In heavy rain or high winds it is often safer to make the roof weathertight first and come back for the permanent repair once conditions allow. Either way, we will explain what we have done and why. ### Finding the real source of a leak Water travels along felt, rafters and ceiling joists before it shows up indoors, so the damp patch is often some distance from the fault. Common culprits on Durham homes include worn chimney flashing, cracked valley mortar, slipped slates and failed flat roof joints. Tracing the source properly means the repair actually stops the leak. ### Costs and payment Emergency call-outs carry a fee of £250. Any follow-up repair is quoted in writing before work starts. For planned follow-up work, a 50% booking fee secures the job, with the balance due on completion. ### Reducing the risk of future emergencies Many emergencies start as small faults that went unnoticed. Keeping gutters clear and getting slipped tiles or cracked ridges fixed early is the best way to avoid a crisis during the next storm. If you spot something that worries you, a free inspection is a sensible first step. ### Making your home safe while you wait While we are on the way, move furniture, electronics and anything valuable away from the leak and put down buckets or towels to catch the water. If water is coming through a light fitting or near sockets, turn off the electrics at the consumer unit if it is safe to do so. Take a few photos of the damage, as these can be useful if you later speak to your home insurer. If a ceiling is bulging with trapped water, keep people and pets out of the room. Please don't go into the loft or onto the roof in bad weather; leave that to us.
