Same-day response across Canterbury and East Kent — 24/7.
When a roof fails, every hour matters. Water damage compounds fast, and Canterbury's older housing stock is particularly vulnerable once the weathertight seal is broken.
Canterbury's Victorian and Edwardian terraces in St Dunstan's, Wincheap and along the Old Dover Road have roofs that were built 100–130 years ago. When the original lime mortar on ridge tiles finally fails, or a plain clay tile slips from a corroded nail, the gap it leaves can let in several litres of water per hour during heavy rain. We have seen living room ceilings come down as a result.
Post-war flat roof extensions on the Barton and Rough Common estates are the other main source of emergency calls. Felt membranes installed in the 1970s and 1980s have long exceeded their design life. One severe storm is often the final trigger after years of slow deterioration.
We assess the damage, make the roof weathertight immediately — using emergency cover if needed — and give you a clear picture of the full repair required. We do not upsell on emergency visits. If a temporary fix is all that is needed to get you safe until materials are sourced, that is what we will recommend.
“Storm ripped off half a dozen ridge tiles on a Saturday evening. Called at 8pm, they were here by 9am Sunday. Made it fully weathertight before the next lot of rain. Could not have asked for more.”
“Huge leak through the living room ceiling after heavy rain. Emergency team arrived within three hours, found a cracked valley junction behind the chimney stack. Fixed same day. Brilliant.”
“Flat roof over our kitchen extension finally gave up during a November storm. Canterbury Roofing patched it that afternoon and replaced the full roof the following week. Excellent throughout.”
We aim to be on site the same day for emergency calls across Canterbury. For urgent structural damage or active leaks, call 0122 763 4920 directly — we prioritise emergency jobs and will give you a realistic ETA immediately. Weekend and out-of-hours call-outs are available 24/7.
Any damage that allows water ingress into your home, structural damage to rafters or decking, storm-lifted sections of roof covering, and any damage that poses a safety risk. If you are unsure, call us — we would rather assess a precautionary call than have you deal with water damage overnight.
We are transparent about any out-of-hours premium. Call us on 0122 763 4920 and we will give you a clear cost upfront before attending. There are no hidden charges added after the fact.
Yes. If a full repair is not possible in a single visit — for example due to material availability for matched clay tiles — we will make the roof weathertight with an emergency cover or temporary repair, then return to complete the permanent fix once materials are sourced.
The most common emergency calls after storms in Canterbury involve lifted ridge tiles, dislodged plain clay tiles on period properties in St Dunstan's and Wincheap, and failed flat roof membranes on Barton estate extensions. Cold northeasterly winds from the coast are the most common cause of serious tile displacement in this area.
