Wind and rain can leave a roof leaking overnight, and in Brigg we offer emergency call-out, temporary cover and the proper repair that should follow once the weather clears.
Storm damage is rarely dramatic from inside the house. More often it is a drip in the corner of a bedroom, a slate on the path or a tile sitting at an odd angle. In Brigg, where older brick streets sit alongside more mixed housing, these small signs are worth taking seriously.
F H Roofing covers Brigg and the north of the county. We can inspect wind damaged roofs, make them watertight and carry out repairs afterwards, whether that means a few replaced tiles, a re-bedded ridge or fresh lead. We will explain it in ordinary language, not trade jargon.
Start with safety. Stay inside, away from the damaged area, and do not clamber onto the roof. If water is coming through, protect furniture, put a container under the leak and, if it reaches electrics, turn the supply off at the consumer unit. Take photographs from ground level. Then call us. Our emergency service runs 24 hours a day, and although we cannot name an arrival time, we will tell you straight what we can arrange and whether anything needs to happen before we reach you.
Temporary work comes in a few forms. A tarpaulin secured over a bare area is the simplest. Slipped tiles can be nudged back and clipped, missing ones replaced, ridge pieces re-bedded, and loose flashing pinned or sealed until a proper fix is possible. On flat roofs, a torn patch can be covered to stop ponding and leaks. None of this is meant to last for seasons, and we will say how long we think it should be relied on and what the next step should be.
Once things are dry, the true repair can be planned. That could be relaying a slope, replacing broken tiles, repairing a chimney flashing or renewing a stretch of fascia. If an insurance claim might be involved, contact the insurer early, keep dated photos and hold on to any damaged pieces if that is safe. We cannot comment on policies or claim outcomes, but we can talk you through the repair needed, so you understand what to ask for and what you are agreeing to.
Brigg is a market town on the River Ancholme in north Lincolnshire. The centre has older brick streets, with a wide mix of housing around it, and that variety means no two roofs fail in quite the same way. Older roofs may have tired fixings, while newer ones may have been put up quickly and show problems at ridges and verges. We cover Brigg and work in Market Rasen, Gainsborough and Lincoln as well, so do ask if you are nearby.
