A roofing emergency is anything that puts your property or its occupants at immediate risk: active leaks into living spaces, storm-displaced tiles or slates, structural sagging, fallen tree damage, or fire-damaged roof sections. In Greenford, the most common emergency calls we receive are concrete interlocking tile nail sickness across 1950s estates — original nails corroding simultaneously across whole streets.
Call us on 0203 302 2547 — a real person answers, not a call centre. We dispatch a team to your Greenford property to make safe within hours. Make-safe means stopping active water ingress, securing loose materials, and ensuring structural stability. Once safe, we photograph and quote for permanent repair.
Make-safe and permanent repair are two separate jobs. Make-safe is immediate — tarping, boarding, temporary flashing — to prevent further damage. Permanent repair is scheduled once materials are sourced and conditions allow. We quote both separately so you know exactly what you are paying at each stage.

Ealing's roofing heritage reflects its growth as a Victorian and Edwardian suburb. The earliest surviving roofs on properties around Haven Green and Ealing Broadway date from the 1880s — handmade clay peg tiles on steep pitches with decorative ridge tiles that are now almost impossible to source new. The 1930s building boom brought concrete interlocking tiles to the newer estates across Pitshanger, Northfields and South Ealing, and these roofs are now 85-90 years old and approaching the end of their design life.
Ealing's tree-lined streets create specific seasonal roofing challenges. Autumn brings heavy leaf fall from the mature London planes, limes and oaks that shade residential streets — blocked gutters, valley obstructions and moss-promoting debris accumulation are the predictable result. Winter frost affects the older clay tile stock more severely than modern concrete — water trapped in micro-cracks expands and spalls tile surfaces, a process that accelerates once the protective patina is lost.
A well-maintained roof in Ealing directly affects property value. With average house prices in W5 exceeding £700,000, a deteriorating roof can reduce sale value by £15,000-25,000 — far more than the cost of timely repair or replacement. Buyers and surveyors in Ealing are experienced enough to spot deferred roof maintenance, and mortgage lenders will flag roof condition on valuation reports.
Emergency response follows a triage protocol. When you call, we assess the severity over the phone — is there active water ingress into living spaces? Is there structural movement or sagging? Is the property occupied? This assessment determines our response priority and what equipment and materials we dispatch. On arrival, the first task is always to make safe — stop active water ingress, secure loose materials, and ensure structural stability. Only once the property is safe do we assess the full extent of damage and quote for permanent repair.
Emergency make-safe uses heavy-duty tarpaulins, temporary flashings, emergency sealants and structural props. These are not permanent solutions — they are engineered to stop further damage until permanent repair can be scheduled. We carry emergency materials on every van so we can make safe on the first visit without needing to source supplies. Permanent repair materials are specified and ordered after the make-safe assessment.
Emergency make-safe work carries a 28-day guarantee — it is designed to hold until permanent repair is completed, typically within 1-2 weeks. The subsequent permanent repair carries our standard guarantee (2-year for patches, 5-year for substantial repairs, 10-year for section re-roofing). If the make-safe fails within 28 days due to our workmanship, we return and re-secure at no cost.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Greenford roofer who turns up when they say they will.
