Temporary covering
Where the covering is breached, we fit a temporary tarpaulin or weatherproof cover to keep the rain out until the permanent repair.

How Fast We Respond, and What Same-Day Really Means
We are a local Stockport team, not a 24-hour call centre. In practice that means a real roofer who knows these roofs, out to you the same day or first thing the next working day, and straight with you about what your roof actually needs.
We stop the water first
On the first visit we make your roof watertight, a temporary cover, a secured ridge, a capped chimney or a sealed flashing. The permanent repair is quoted separately once we have traced the source.
Same day or first thing next working day
We attend the same day or first thing the next working day and prioritise active leaks. We work Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 4:00pm. Call as early as you can and we will give you an honest arrival window.
Guaranteed dry while you wait
If the leak comes back before we have finished the permanent repair, we return free of charge. No quibbling, no second call-out fee.
We Make Your Roof Watertight First
The priority in an emergency is stopping water getting into your home. Here is what a make-safe visit usually involves, depending on what we find when we get there.
Secured ridge & tiles
Loose ridge sections and slipped tiles are refixed or removed so nothing else lifts and the water has nowhere to get in.
Capped chimney
If a pot has gone or flaunching has cracked, we cap and seal the stack so a damaged chimney is not feeding the leak.
Sealed flashings
An active drip into the loft from failed lead or flashing is sealed off, then properly replaced when we carry out the full repair.
We guarantee the make-safe. If the leak returns before the permanent repair is finished, we come back free of charge.
Is Your Leak Actually an Emergency?
Not every roof problem needs us out the same day. Here is a quick way to tell whether to call now or book a normal visit.
Call us now if
- Water is actively dripping into your loft or rooms
- A ceiling is bulging, sagging or stained and spreading fast
- Water is near light fittings, sockets or electrics
- You have lost tiles, a ridge or a chimney pot in a storm
- You can see daylight through the loft boards
Likely fine to book in
- A faint old stain that is not spreading in dry weather
- A single slipped tile with no leak inside
- Moss, blocked gutters or general wear and tear
- A repair you have been meaning to sort for a while
- You want a quote rather than an urgent call-out
Not urgent? Our standard roof repairs page covers planned work.
Why a small leak is worth sorting quickly
Water rarely stays where it starts. Left for a few days, even a minor leak tends to:
- soak the loft insulation, which stops it working until it dries out or gets replaced
- stain and blister the ceilings, plaster and decoration in the rooms below
- lead to damp, rot in the roof timbers and mould if it keeps getting in
None of that is meant to worry you. It is simply why stopping the water early usually costs a good deal less than leaving it.
What to Do Right Now While You Wait for Us
A few simple steps protect your home and make our job faster when we arrive. Stay safe and keep both feet on the ground.
- Catch the water in buckets or bowls and move valuables and electricals clear.
- If a ceiling is bulging with trapped water and you can safely reach it, a small hole at the lowest point lets it drain in a controlled way.
- Switch off the electrics to the affected area if water is anywhere near them.
- Take photos and a short video of the damage, inside and out, for your insurer.
- Do not climb onto a wet, icy or storm-damaged roof. Leave the roof to us.
- Do not go up a ladder in high winds or while it is still raining hard.
- Do not pile sealant or filler into the ceiling. It traps water and hides the real source.

Roofs We Have Put Right Across Stockport
A few recent jobs from around the SK postcodes. The same in-house team that turns up to your emergency does this work.
Our Emergency Process
-
Make safe
We get to you fast and stop the water the same day, with a temporary cover, secured ridge, capped chimney or sealed flashing.
-
Diagnose
We trace where the water is really getting in, inspect the surrounding roof, and put it in a written report with photos.
-
Quote honestly
You get an itemised quote for the permanent repair. If a repair will hold we say so. If the roof is at the end of its life, we tell you that too.
Storm damage & insurance
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims
High winds off the Peak District take tiles, lift ridge sections and bring down chimney pots, often in a single night. We make the roof safe first, then give you everything your insurer needs to settle the claim.
What our storm report gives you
- A written report with photographs in the format insurers expect
- An itemised quote for the make-safe and the permanent repair
- An honest, independent view on storm damage versus wear and tear
Making a claim: a few honest pointers
- Photograph the damage inside and out before anyone climbs up or moves anything. That is your evidence.
- Check whether your policy covers storm damage and what your excess is before you commit to a claim.
- Insurers separate genuine storm damage from gradual wear and tear. Our report gives an independent view on which it is.
- We deal in the facts of what we actually find. We will not talk up a claim that is not there.
Storm damage that might be an insurance claim? Keep your make-safe invoice and read our guide to roof insurance claims: what's covered, what evidence wins, and when you need an independent report.
For a disputed claim or a more detailed assessment, our independent partners provide formal roof surveys and insurance reports.
What an Emergency Call-Out Costs
£350
Emergency call-out
That is a flat £350 for a roofer to attend and make your roof watertight that day, which we guarantee. No hidden travel charge, because we are local to Stockport, and no surprise extras once we are on site.
If you then go ahead with the full repair, we put part of that £350 toward the cost of the repair. The labour for the emergency visit itself is not deducted, as that work has already been carried out, but you are not paying twice for us turning up.

Stockport Areas We Cover for Emergency Call-Outs
Based at Hallam Mill in Stockport, we reach the SK postcodes quickly. We know the roofs here, so we know what tends to fail and where the water gets in.
-
Stockport SK1 to SK8 Our base is at Hallam Mill in SK2, so a roofer is rarely far from your door.
- Bramhall SK7 Period slate roofs and tall Victorian chimney stacks that lose pots and flashing in high winds.
- Hazel Grove SK7 A6-corridor terraces where slipped ridge tiles and tired lead flashing are the usual culprits.
- Cheadle Hulme SK8 1930s semis with bay roofs and chimney leaks that show up as damp on upstairs walls.
- Cheadle SK8 Village slate, leadwork and flat-roof extensions across Gatley and Heald Green.
- Marple SK6 Pennine-edge and Goyt-valley exposure, so storm and wind-driven rain hit hardest here.
- Romiley SK6 Post-war concrete-tile semis and exposed roofs that take a battering in a storm.
- Bredbury SK6 Mixed housing stock where blocked valleys and slipped tiles cause sudden leaks.
- Woodley SK6 Older terraces and semis prone to ridge and flashing failures after bad weather.
- Reddish SK5 Dense Victorian terraces where split lead bay flashings are a common leak point.

What Stockport Homeowners Say
-
★★★★★
“Excellent friendly helpful service with detailed quotes and repairs to gutters, tiles and flashing all carried out promptly, tidily and with good explanation of work.”
-
★★★★★
“Dan's knowledge, candour and honesty are top notch. He helped identify issues with our roof that others completely missed, giving us a really clear understanding of the state and realistic life span of the roof. As a result he actually talked me out of doing more work, due to the limited life it would have against the rest of it, suggesting I save my money to have it all done properly in the future when we need to. He was always extremely helpful in making sure the work was done to a high standard.”
-
★★★★★
“We had several broken tiles on a ground floor roof causing a leak in our utility. Our gable end undercloaking board was also failing and becoming a hazard in high winds. We had great service from Daniel Scott Roofing, Dan was quick to assess the damage and gave a clear, competitive quote on the repairs needed. They completed the repairs promptly and professionally with good communication throughout, would definitely recommend!”
Emergency Roof Repair FAQs
How quickly can you attend an emergency roof repair?
Usually the same day, or first thing the next working day. We work Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 4:00pm, and we prioritise active leaks. Call us as early as you can and we will give you an honest arrival window rather than a vague promise.
Are you a 24/7 emergency roofer?
No. We are a local Stockport team, not a round-the-clock call centre. We offer fast emergency call-outs, the same day or first thing the next working day, during working hours. If you call or message outside those hours we pick it up the next working day and treat make-safe leaks as a priority.
Will you make my roof watertight on the first visit, or do I have to wait for the full repair?
We stop the water first. On the first visit we make the roof watertight, with a temporary cover, a secured ridge, a capped chimney or a sealed flashing as needed. We then trace the source and quote the permanent repair separately. If the leak returns before that permanent repair is finished, we come back free of charge.
How much does an emergency call-out cost?
Our emergency call-out is a flat £350. That covers a roofer attending and making your roof watertight that day, which we guarantee. If you then go ahead with the full repair, we put part of that £350 toward the cost of the repair. The labour for the emergency visit itself is not deducted, as that work has already been done.
Is a leaking roof an emergency, and how do I know if mine is urgent?
Treat it as urgent if water is actively dripping into the loft or rooms, a ceiling is bulging or sagging, water is near light fittings or electrics, or you have lost tiles, a ridge or a chimney pot in a storm. A faint stain that is not spreading in dry weather can usually wait for a normal booking.
Do you handle storm damage and help with insurance claims?
Yes. We make the roof safe first, then provide a written report with photographs in the format insurers expect, an itemised quote, and an independent view on whether the damage is storm related or wear and tear. For disputed or complex claims, our independent partners provide a formal roof survey report.
Why does my roof keep leaking after previous repairs?
Usually because the earlier repair treated the symptom, the stain, rather than the source. Water often travels along the timbers and runs in some distance from where it actually gets in, so a patch in the wrong spot never holds. We trace the true entry point first and fix that, which is why our repairs last.
Do you carry out emergency chimney repairs?
Yes. A chimney leaking in heavy rain, a pot or lead flashing brought down in a storm, or cracked flaunching letting water in are all jobs we attend the same day or first thing the next working day. We make the stack safe first, capping it or sealing the flashing, then trace the source and quote the permanent repair. For planned chimney work such as repointing, rebuilds and removals we cover the same Stockport and East Cheshire areas.
Which areas do you cover for emergency call-outs?
Stockport and the surrounding SK postcodes, including Bramhall, Hazel Grove, Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Marple, Romiley, Bredbury, Woodley, Reddish, Offerton, Edgeley and Poynton. Being local is the whole point of a fast response.
