Emergency roofing

Urgent help for storm damage, leaks and unsafe roofs.

Storm damage, a sudden leak, slates off after a gale - our emergency service helps make the building safe and watertight. Phone us and you'll speak to an Edinburgh roofer, not a call centre.

Edinburgh's urgent roofing help

When wind brings slates off the roof or a downpour finds its way through a failed flashing, you need practical help quickly. We respond to urgent roofing calls across Edinburgh - central tenements, suburban homes and commercial premises - to make the building safe and stop further damage where availability allows.

What we'll do first

The first job is always to stop the water and remove any immediate hazard. That usually means securing or temporarily covering the damaged area with a tarpaulin, clearing loose or unsafe material, and where necessary cordoning off below. Only then do we step back, assess the full extent of the damage, and quote you for the permanent repair.

Insurance claims

Most storm damage is covered by buildings insurance. We can provide written reports and photographs to support a claim, and we're used to working alongside loss adjusters and surveyors.

Why call Christie first

We've been the name Edinburgh has called in bad weather for more than two hundred years. You'll get an honest assessment, fair pricing, and the same workmanship standard on an urgent job as on any other.
