Emergency roof repairs in Oakham
A leak or storm damage in Oakham or across Rutland? Ring 01406 704369, answered day or night.
When water is coming through a ceiling the only thing that matters is that somebody answers. We cover Oakham and the Rutland villages, all of LE15, and the phone is answered day or night. If nobody picks up we are on a roof, so leave a message and you will get a call back.
Open ground and what the wind does
Rutland is high, open country and the ground around Rutland Water has very little to break the wind. That shows up in the emergency calls: verge tiles lifted at a gable end, ridge tiles whose mortar had already cracked, and slates or stone slates worked loose on an exposed slope. Once one goes it gives the wind an edge to pull at and the rest follow along the run.
Made safe first, put right after
An emergency is two jobs. The first is stopping the water and making the roof safe, which in bad weather can mean a temporary cover. The second is the lasting repair once the roof is dry enough to do properly. We will tell you plainly which of the two we are doing on the day rather than dress one up as the other.
Older buildings, and where we stop
A lot of Oakham and the villages is ironstone and limestone under stone slate. In an emergency the priority is the same on any building: make it safe without making the permanent repair harder. But if that permanent repair wants a heritage stone slater rather than us, we will say so. Getting your roof watertight tonight and telling you honestly who should finish it properly is better than pretending it is all one trade.

What people say
In their words, not ours
One of the problems of finding a roofer when you are an older person is the thought of being scammed, especially given the increasing numbers of rogue traders together with the high costs at stake especially if the work is poor or non existent. We trawled a lot of roofers and found varying prices and limited experience and ‘one man bands’ offering little or no guarantees for their work. We came across Fred’s newly formed EverCrest Property Care Ltd Company and were initially concerned at the limited 3 months or so that they had been trading for, albeit that Fred had been a Sole Trader for some 6 years. So we undertook a ‘due diligence’ on the company and found they had worked on a limited number of roofing projects in the start up time. However having had a number of positive conversations with Fred we decided to give his company a chance having had a very good response and price to our required specification that formed the basis of our Building Control Application through Boston Borough Council. They say you can only make a first impression once and EverCrest Property Care Ltd certainly made an excellent impression indeed, in fact the work they undertook was first class and our Building Control Inspector was equally impressed with the standard of works they carried out. Our project involved replacing a main roof on a detached property and likewise on a kitchen extension. Work commenced on a Friday with the scaffolding being erected along with the delivery of two skips. On the Monday morning around 8:30am a team of 7 arrived on site and by 10am both roofs had been stripped and the Building Inspector was called early to check out the structure prior to the roofers installing the new insulation, membrane and battening in readiness for the new soffits, guttering and tiles being installed from Tuesday onwards. By Thursday the project had been completed and the Building Inspector returned first thing Friday morning and signed off the work having been impressed with the finished work. On the basis of the above experience we would have no hesitation in recommending EverCrest Property Care Ltd as a suitable and very experienced roofing contractor and would be happy to give any references to their standard of works.
Brilliant work! Reasonable price a friendly. Recommend to anyone. Sorted out my roof after 3 companies turned me down.
Amazing roof repair everything finished to a high standard,good communication and reasonable priced would definetly recommend.
Before you ring
Emergency Roof Repairs in Oakham: common questions
Do you cover the Rutland villages or only Oakham?
The whole of LE15, so Uppingham, the Rutland Water villages and the rest are covered the same as the town. A single repair in a village is booked the same way as anything else.
My cottage has a stone slate roof. Can you help in an emergency?
We can make it safe and stop the water without doing anything that makes the permanent repair harder. If that permanent repair needs a heritage stone slater we will tell you rather than take it on.
What should I do while I wait?
Move anything valuable out from under the water, catch what you can, and stay off the roof and off ladders while it is still blowing. Tell us what you can see from the ground.
Is there a charge for coming out?
The visit, the photographs and the written quote are free. You know what the repair costs before it starts, and the price quoted is the price paid.
