Storm damage and sudden roof leaks do not wait for office hours. DJW Roofing & Leadwork Ltd offers 24/7 emergency call-outs from Littleport, Ely, covering Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire and North London. Call 07862 885143 to explain the situation. Danny has 15 years’ roofing experience, and the priority is to assess the risk and make the roof safe as conditions allow. An emergency visit may involve a temporary measure or a permanent repair; the appropriate approach depends on the damage, safe access and weather rather than an unqualified promise of instant completion.
Call first and describe the problem
Explain where the property is, what has happened and whether water is entering or materials are loose. Details about a chimney, damaged slope or flat-roof edge can help establish the immediate concern. Photos taken from a safe place may be useful, but do not climb onto a roof or enter an unsafe loft to obtain them. Call rather than relying on a quote form for urgent help. DJW is open 24 hours, seven days a week, but arrival and the work possible on site depend on the circumstances.
Make safety the first priority
Wind and rain can turn a roofing fault into a hazard for people below. Keep away from areas where tiles, slates or chimney materials could fall, and keep others clear too. Indoors, avoid contact with water near electrical fittings. If there is immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency service rather than waiting for roof work. Where it is safe, move belongings away from a leak and catch drips without standing beneath a damaged or bulging ceiling. These steps limit risk while professional advice and a safe repair approach are arranged.
Storm damage to tiles, ridges and leadwork
High winds can displace individual coverings, disturb mortar-bedded ridges or lift flashings. A missing tile is sometimes a local repair, but the surrounding fixings and underlying layers also need assessment. Exposed felt and battens may have been affected even if damage looks small from the ground. DJW assesses slipped and cracked tiles or slates, ridge and verge problems, leadwork and valleys as appropriate. The immediate measure is chosen to reduce further damage, with the wider roof condition explained before follow-up work is agreed.
Temporary protection or a permanent repair
A straightforward fault may be repairable during the visit when access, materials and conditions permit. More extensive damage or unsafe weather can mean temporary protection is the sensible first step. Temporary measures are not the same as a completed permanent repair and their limits need explaining clearly. Once conditions permit, a properly scoped repair can address the underlying problem. Work begins when access and conditions make it safe to complete the repair carefully. That protects the property and the people carrying out the work.
Honest advice after the immediate problem
Once the urgent risk is addressed, DJW explains what was found and what further work, if any, should be considered. The same repair-before-replace principle applies: storm damage does not automatically justify a full re-roof. A written quote lets you understand proposed repairs to the covering, underlay or junctions. If you intend to contact an insurer, keep your own record of damage safely and follow the insurer’s requirements; DJW does not make coverage decisions. The company is fully insured and all work is guaranteed, with the details appropriate to the agreed scope explained by Danny.

Emergency repairs
FAQs.
Can I call outside normal working hours?
Yes. DJW is open 24 hours, seven days a week, with emergency roofing call-outs. Phone 07862 885143 to describe the location and immediate problem.
Do you guarantee an arrival time?
No fixed arrival time is promised. Location, current conditions and safe access affect the response. Calling gives you the opportunity to discuss the actual situation.
Will the first visit finish the repair?
Sometimes, where the fault and conditions permit. Other emergencies need temporary protection followed by a separately agreed permanent repair when work can be carried out safely.
What should I do around loose roof materials?
Keep people away from areas where tiles, slates or masonry could fall. Do not attempt to secure them yourself or climb onto the roof. Explain the risk when you call.
Should I use the form for an urgent leak?
Call 07862 885143 for an emergency. The quote form is useful for planned enquiries but is not a substitute for discussing an immediate roofing hazard by phone.
