Storm Damage and Roof Leaks in Canning Town

A leaking roof over a shop, office or block of flats affects more than one household, so emergency call-outs in Canning Town cover commercial roofs as well as homes. Ashlar Roofing works across E16 and the London Borough of Newham on domestic and commercial property, and we prioritise active leaks and storm damage so that water ingress is controlled before it disrupts tenants, stock or trading. Keeping water off stock, equipment and wiring is the first concern.

Flat roofs on commercial buildings tend to fail at seams, outlets and upstands, while pitched roofs more often lose tiles or flashings in high winds. Our first task is temporary weatherproofing over the damaged area. After that we inspect the wider roof, explain what caused the leak and provide a quote for the permanent repair. Managing agents and landlords can arrange the visit, and we coordinate roof access with whoever is on site.

What's included

What an Emergency Call-Out Covers

The main parts of the job, each listed in your quote.

  • Priority for roofs letting water in now and for storm-damaged roofs, so the most urgent problems are handled ahead of routine work.
  • Temporary weatherproofing, such as sheeting, sealing or refixing loose tiles, to keep rain out until the permanent repair is made.
  • Making safe any loose slates, ridge tiles, chimney pots or flashings that could fall and injure someone or damage the roof below.
  • Checks on the area around the damage, including flashings, valleys and gutters, so the real cause of the leak is found.
  • A written price for the permanent repair, set out for you to agree before that work begins, so you know exactly what it involves.
  • Call-outs for domestic and commercial roofs, covering houses, flats, shops and offices with storm-damaged or leaking roofs.

How it works

How Emergency Roof Repairs in Canning Town Is Arranged

What happens from your first call or message to the finished work.

  1. Tell Us What Has Happened

    Call or use the form to describe the leak or damage. Photos sent on WhatsApp help us judge how urgent it is and what materials to bring.

  2. Making the Roof Safe

    Leaking and storm-hit roofs go to the front of the queue. When we arrive, temporary weatherproofing comes first, stopping water getting in and securing anything loose.

  3. Finding the Cause

    Once the roof is secure, we look over the surrounding area to find where water is really entering, then set out the cost of the lasting fix for you to agree.

  4. The Permanent Repair

    We return to complete the agreed repair, then review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Emergency Roofing Questions from Canning Town Homeowners

My home in Canning Town is in a conservation area. Can you still make an emergency repair?

Yes. Temporary weatherproofing simply protects the existing roof. If the permanent repair would change the materials or look of the roof, check with Newham Council first. Like-for-like repairs that match the existing roof are the usual approach.

What counts as a roofing emergency?

Water coming through a ceiling, tiles or slates blown off in a storm, a chimney or flashing that could fall, or a flat roof that has split open. If water is getting in or something could come loose, treat it as urgent and get in touch.

What details help when booking an emergency roofer in Canning Town?

Your address and postcode, where the water is appearing, the type of roof if you know it (tiled, slate or flat) and whether anything is loose or hanging. Photos on WhatsApp let us judge the urgency.

Can a roof be repaired in the rain?

Temporary measures such as sheeting and sealing can usually be fitted in wet weather if it is safe to work at height. Permanent repairs, particularly on flat roofs, often need a dry spell so the materials bond correctly.
