Storm damage roof repairs for Mablethorpe homes, bungalows and holiday properties, with a 24-hour emergency call-out to make a roof safe when the North Sea wind has done its worst.
When a gale comes in off the sea, the roofs that suffer are rarely the ones that looked bad beforehand. A tile that has been quietly loosening for a season finally lifts, a ridge section shifts, or a strip of flashing peels back. Water then finds its way in during the next band of rain.
F H Roofing covers Mablethorpe and the surrounding coast for storm damage roof repairs. We deal with wind damaged roof repairs, slipped and missing tiles, damaged fascias and leaks, and we try to explain plainly what has happened, what needs doing now and what can wait for settled weather.
If a roof has been opened up overnight, ring and tell us what you can see from the ground. We run a 24-hour emergency call-out, so you can reach someone at any hour, though we will not promise an arrival time because conditions and demand vary. Stay indoors if slates or tiles are still moving, and never climb up in the wind yourself. Move belongings away from wet ceilings, put a bucket under any drip and switch off lights if water is near fittings. On arrival the first job is simply making the property safe: checking for loose material that could fall, and stopping water getting in.
Single-storey roofs are quick to get at, but exposed ones lose more in a blow. For emergency cover we use tarping, battening and re-seating of loose tiles to keep the weather out until a proper repair is possible. Missing roof tile replacement, ridge tile storm damage repairs and emergency lead flashing repairs often go together, because wind lifts the edges and ridges first. Temporary roof repairs are a stopgap, not a finish, and we will say how long we think they are sensible to leave, which depends on the roof and the forecast.
Once the roof is dry and safe, the permanent repair can be planned properly. That may mean new tiles matched as closely as possible, re-bedded ridges, refixed flashings or a repaired flat roof covering. If you think you will claim on your home or holiday let, it is wise to contact your insurer early, photograph the damage, and keep any broken materials if that is safe. We cannot advise on policies or outcomes, but we can talk through what the repair involves so you know what you are describing.
Mablethorpe sits right on the North Sea, so salt-laden wind is a constant part of life for roofs here. The town has plenty of bungalows, holiday properties and chalet-style buildings, and these often have lighter roof structures and fewer sheltered sides. Salt and wind wear fixings, flashings and sealants faster than inland, which is worth remembering when a repair is quoted. We cover Mablethorpe and work along the coast and inland, including Alford, Skegness and Louth, so a call about storm damage in any of them is the same process: describe the problem, we talk it through, and arrange a visit.
We also take on storm damage roof repairs work in nearby Alford, Skegness, Louth.

Stay safe on the ground and look from a distance only. Take photos, move belongings away from leaks and catch drips. If water is coming in or material is loose, call our emergency line. Do not go onto the roof yourself, particularly in wind or wet conditions.
Yes. Exposure to sea air can corrode nails, clips and metal flashings over time, so they hold less well when a gale arrives. During a repair we look at the surrounding fixings as well as the obvious damage, because nearby tiles may be about to go too.
Yes, we work on bungalows, holiday properties and chalet-style buildings as well as ordinary houses. If the property is empty or let out, tell us how access works when you call so we can plan a visit and the temporary cover properly.
