When your roof fails without warning — storm damage, fallen trees, sudden leaks or structural collapse — you need a roofer who answers the phone and turns up. We provide same-day emergency roof repairs across West London, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No call-out fees. We make your property safe first, then quote for permanent repair.
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 Shepherd's Bush, the most common emergency calls we receive are victorian terraces with poorly maintained parapets — crumbling coping stones let water behind flashings causing internal damp that takes years to diagnose.
Call us on 0203 302 2547 — a real person answers, not a call centre. We dispatch a team to your Shepherd's Bush 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.

Hammersmith and Fulham packs more Victorian terraced housing per square mile than almost anywhere in London, and the roofing challenges reflect this density. Fulham's grid streets between Fulham Palace Road and Wandsworth Bridge Road contain thousands of two-storey terraces with the characteristic butterfly roof profile — an M-shaped valley roof where all rainwater channels to a concealed central valley. This design was elegant and space-efficient when built in the 1880s; 140 years later, those central valleys are the most common single point of failure we see across the borough.
As an inner London borough flanking the Thames, Hammersmith and Fulham experiences the full urban heat island effect. Summer roof surface temperatures regularly exceed 60°C, driving extreme thermal cycling on lead, zinc and felt that accelerates material fatigue. The Thames frontage along Hammersmith and Fulham reaches means riverside properties face persistent damp exposure and occasional flood risk. Winter storms funnel between terraced streets, creating localised wind loading that displaces ridge tiles and lifts flashings.
Fulham property prices have risen dramatically — a standard Victorian terrace that sold for £400,000 fifteen years ago now commands £1.2-1.5 million. At these values, a sound roof is a non-negotiable expectation from buyers, mortgage lenders and insurers. The cost of a complete butterfly valley replacement and roof overhaul on a Fulham terrace is typically £5,000-8,000 — a fraction of the value it protects.
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.
If water is coming in right now, this is what you need.
When it is not the answer: If the leak is small and slow, and the weather is clearing, a standard repair appointment may be more cost-effective than an emergency call-out. Read the full guide.

Emergency make-safe uses whatever safe access is available — ladders, towers, existing scaffold. Scaffold is specified for: only if the make-safe requires extended work at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Victorian terraces and mansion flats — access and scaffold requirements vary by street. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Hammersmith & Fulham Council; allow a few working days on streets like Goldhawk Road, Askew Road where space is tight.
