FAQs

Emergency roof repairs, common questions.

Do you charge for an emergency call-out?

There is no charge to attend and assess a genuine roofing emergency in Milton Keynes, Newport Pagnell and the surrounding counties. We attend, make the roof watertight, take insurance-ready photographs and give you a fixed price for the permanent repair before any further work is agreed. Call 07497 711223.

How fast can you get to my property?

Our target on-site response for Milton Keynes and Newport Pagnell is under 2 hours, day or night. For the wider region we are usually with you the same day. Call 07497 711223 and a family member will confirm an ETA on the phone.

Do you cover Milton Keynes and Newport Pagnell at night?

Yes. Our emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, 365 nights a year. We attend genuine active leaks and storm damage overnight across Milton Keynes, Newport Pagnell and the surrounding villages.

Will you speak to my insurer?

Yes. We regularly liaise directly with home insurers on behalf of homeowners. We provide timestamped photographs, a one-page written report and a clear scope of the make-safe and the permanent repair, in the language insurers expect to see.

Do you take photos for my insurance claim?

Every emergency call-out includes on-arrival, timestamped, GPS-tagged photographs before we touch the roof, plus photographs of every step of the make-safe. You receive a copy of the pack the same day for your claim.

Can you make my roof safe until the permanent repair?

Yes. The first job on any emergency call-out is to make the roof watertight the same day, typically with a heavy-duty tarpaulin, temporary flashing or emergency board. The permanent repair is then scoped, priced and booked in around your insurer if applicable. See our pitched roofing and flat roofing pages for permanent repair detail.

What if the ceiling has already collapsed?

Do not stand under any bulging or wet ceiling. Move electronics and furniture out of the room, catch water where you safely can, and call us on 07497 711223. We attend, make the roof watertight and coordinate with your insurer on the internal make-safe.

What if I have a chimney down?

A partial or fully collapsed chimney is a genuine emergency. Keep everyone away from the affected room and the area of pavement or garden beneath it, and call us straight away. We attend, make the stack and surrounding roof safe, and quote for the permanent chimney and lead work.

Are your team fully insured?

Yes. Clarkson Roofing is fully insured. Every operative that attends an emergency is fully trained and insured to work at height.

What payments do you take?

For insurance-led emergencies we usually invoice the homeowner or the insurer directly once the make-safe is complete. For non-insurance emergency work we take bank transfer or card. There is no charge to attend and assess.
