Emergency roof repairs in Peterborough
A leak or storm damage in Peterborough? Ring 01406 704369. The phone is answered day or night.
When water is coming through a ceiling, the only thing that matters is that somebody picks up. We cover Peterborough for emergency roof repairs, PE1 through to PE7, and our number is answered day or night. If nobody answers we are on a roof: leave a message and you will get a call back.
Stop the water first
An emergency call is two jobs, not one. The first is to make the roof safe and stop water getting in, which sometimes means a temporary cover until the weather has passed. The second is the lasting repair once the roof is dry enough to work on properly: broken tiles replaced, felt renewed, lead work put right. We will not bodge the second job to get off site quicker, and we will tell you plainly which of the two we are doing on the day.
What goes wrong across the city
The failures follow the housing. On the Victorian terraces around Millfield and New England it tends to be slipped slates and shared chimney stacks, where a stack serving two houses starts letting water down the party wall. On the New Town estates at the Ortons, Bretton and Werrington the roofs went up close together in the seventies, so their felt and verges are reaching the end at the same time and a gale finds the weak one. Flat-roofed extensions and dormers are the other big one, because a flat roof rarely fails politely.
What happens when you ring
Tell us what you can see from the ground: water coming in, tiles on the drive, a ridge sitting wrong. We talk it through, get out to you, and photograph what we find up there so you are looking at the same evidence we are. Then you get a plain explanation and a price in writing, with no pressure and no upselling while your house is leaking. Emergency repairs carry the same five or ten year guarantee as everything else we do, and we hold public liability and employer's liability insurance.

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.

Before you ring
Emergency Roof Repairs in Peterborough: common questions
Do you really cover Peterborough at night?
The phone is answered day or night on 01406 704369, and Peterborough is one of the towns we were asked to cover, not somewhere we visit occasionally. If we do not pick up we are on a roof, so leave a message and you will get a ring back.
What should I do while I wait?
Move what you can out from under the water, put something down to catch it, and stay off the roof and off ladders in bad weather. Tell us what you can see from the ground and we will work out the rest when we get there.
Will you charge me just to come out?
The visit, the photographs and the written quote are free. You are told what the repair will cost before we start it, and the price quoted is the price paid.
My extension has a flat roof and it is pouring in. Can you help tonight?
Usually we can get it covered and stop the water the same visit. Whether the flat roof then needs a patch or a re-cover is a separate conversation, and one we will have with photographs rather than in a panic.
