Emergency roof repairs in Luton and across Bedfordshire

Emergency roof repairs in Luton and across Bedfordshire when the roof cannot wait: tiles down in a storm, water coming through a ceiling, felt lifted off a flat roof, a chimney pot hanging over the pavement. Ring Reliable Roofers Ltd on 01582 206224. We make the roof safe and weathertight first, then price the permanent repair in writing.

Storms come across the Chilterns and the Dunstable Downs and take tiles off the exposed roofs in Luton, Dunstable, Houghton Regis and the villages every winter. When that happens, or when a leak suddenly appears in the middle of a downpour, the priority is to stop the water and make the roof safe, not to write a long quote.

We attend emergencies in and around Luton and across Bedfordshire. The first visit is about making the roof weathertight: replacing or temporarily covering missing tiles, sheeting and battening a hole, re-fixing lifted felt, removing a dangerous pot or loose slates, clearing a blocked outlet that is flooding a flat roof. Then we assess properly and give you a written price for the permanent repair, with photographs you can send to your insurer.

We charge for the work and materials on the day, agreed before we start. There is no separate premium simply for it being an emergency call.

How it works

Ring 01582 206224

Tell us what has happened. If water is coming in, put a bucket down, move electrics away and switch off lights below the leak.

Make safe

We attend, remove the danger, and cover or fix the opening so the rain stops coming in.

Assess and price

We look at the whole roof, photograph the damage and give you a written price for the proper repair.

Permanent repair

Booked in promptly, and the photos can go to your insurer.

A temporary fix that lets the roof dry out is worth more than a rushed permanent repair on wet timber. We do the temporary work properly, then come back and do the permanent work properly.

Emergency roofing: your questions answered

How quickly can you come out?

Same day in and around Luton, and within 24 hours for an active leak anywhere we cover. Ring and you get a time, not a callback.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

We charge for the work done and the materials used, agreed before we start. There is no separate emergency premium.

Will my insurance cover storm damage?

Most buildings policies cover storm damage. We provide photographs and a written report describing the damage and the repair, which is what insurers ask for.

Can you come out at weekends?

Yes. Ring the number and you will get us, and we will tell you when we can be there.

What should I do while I wait?

Catch the water, keep people away from anything hanging from the roof, do not go up a ladder in the wind, and take a photograph of the damage from the ground for your claim.
