Storm & emergency roof repairs
Wind, hail or a fallen branch damaged your roof? We help make it safe, stop the water getting in and then repair it properly.
Overview
Storm & emergency repairs done properly
Storms roll in off the ocean fast on the Northern Beaches. Strong winds lift ridge caps and sheets, hail cracks tiles, and branches come down on roofs and gutters. Once water starts getting in, every hour counts.
When you call us with storm damage, we focus first on making the roof safe and watertight, then on a permanent repair once the weather clears. We take photos and notes along the way that you can give to your insurer.
What we can help with
- Temporary make-safe repairs to stop water getting in
- Replacing broken or dislodged tiles and ridge caps
- Re-fixing or replacing lifted metal roof sheets
- Repairing flashings torn by wind
- Gutters and downpipes damaged by branches or debris
- Photos and a written report for your insurance claim

Local knowledge
Storms on the Northern Beaches
Exposed headlands and hillside streets in suburbs like Collaroy Plateau, Bilgola Plateau, Newport and Palm Beach take the full force of coastal storms. Houses here often see the same weak points fail: ridge capping, lifted sheet ends and flashings.
Leafy areas such as Frenchs Forest, Belrose, Davidson and St Ives also see a lot of damage from falling branches. Where a tree is involved, it may need to be removed by an arborist before the roof can be repaired.
Questions
Storm & Emergency Repairs FAQs
More questions? See the Roofing services page or call us on 0416 069 926.
Can you help with my insurance claim?
We can provide photos of the damage and a written quote for the repair, which insurers usually ask for. Check with your insurer about their claims process first, as some send their own assessor.
Can you come out during a storm?
We will do what we safely can. Working on a roof in strong wind, lightning or heavy rain is dangerous, so sometimes the safest first step is to contain the water inside and return as soon as conditions allow.
What is a make-safe repair?
A make-safe is a temporary fix, such as a tarp or re-fixing a lifted sheet, that stops further water damage until the permanent repair can be done.
