A 2-hour emergency call-out across Lincoln
Water coming through a ceiling doesn't wait for office hours. That's why Allen Roofing runs an emergency call-out service for homes and businesses in Lincoln and the surrounding villages. When you call, you speak directly with a roofer. We aim to attend within 2 hours, stop the water getting in, and make the roof safe.
Once the roof is secure, we'll explain what caused the problem and give you a free, no-obligation quote for the permanent repair. You're never pushed into a decision on the day.
What counts as a roofing emergency?
- Water coming through a ceiling, light fitting or chimney breast
- Tiles or slates blown off in high winds
- Ridge tiles loose or fallen
- Storm-damaged or unstable chimney stacks
- Flat roofs split or lifted by wind
- Fallen tree branches through a roof
- Lead flashing torn away or stolen
If you're not sure, call us anyway. We'll tell you honestly if it can wait.
What to do while you wait
- Move furniture, electricals and valuables away from the leak
- Catch drips with buckets or bowls, and put towels down
- If water is near light fittings, switch off that circuit at the consumer unit
- If a ceiling is bulging with water, keep people out of the room
- Never go up on the roof yourself, especially in wind or rain
- Take photos of the damage for your insurer
Storm damage and insurance claims
Much of our emergency work follows storms. We carry out insurance work regularly, and we can record the damage and the repairs needed so you have what you need for your claim. We'll make the roof watertight first, then carry out the full repair once it's agreed.
What does an emergency roof repair cost?
We don't believe in taking advantage of people in an emergency. Emergency repairs are priced on the work involved, and our prices are always fair and reasonable. We'll tell you what the temporary repair involves before we start. The permanent repair is quoted separately, free, once the roof is safe.
