Although we offer a variety of repairs here at G&A Roofing, our specialty is identifying where instances of storm damage have occurred and have left a lasting effect on your property. Each and every one of our roofers have been fully trained and are qualified to carry out any repair work safely and correctly. We can offer emergency repairs to all properties, including residential and commercial ones.

Should you decide to contract us at G&A Roofing, you can expect our company policy to be carried out every time. First, we will give you a detailed report listing any damages that have occurred to your roof. In this report we will specify what the original cause of the damage to your property was, and what the necessary actions are to correct the problem; overall, making it easier for you to make a claim on your insurance.

An emergency repair for the roof of your property is required when any faults are found that are potentially hazardous, either to you and your property or to another person. The slightest sign of damage to your roof should be given your immediate attention. If you neglect the problem, the damage could quickly worsen and cost more to repair overall. Damages that are too often perceived as being minor, like a single loose tile in your roof can still be extremely dangerous and pose a serious threat to your property. If your roof is not sealed, it is not fully protected against every day weather conditions. There will be water leakages, and strong winds will easily tear a loose tile from your property, loosening adjacent tiles and potentially harming a passerby. Any sign of damage to your property should be inspected as soon as possible.

In many homes across the UK, it seems that as soon as you’ve just managed to get something fixed – something else goes.

Often, we worry that any maintenance is going to be expensive, let alone emergency repairs on a property. But if your property is damaged as a result of storm damage, then it’s likely that you’re entitled to make a claim on your insurance – significantly reducing the costs.

Damages to your property should not be ignored, and you will be pleased to know that most insurance companies do cover you for storm damage and emergency roof repairs, making these matters of urgency much easier to get to grips with. An emergency repair will also prevent further damage occurring to your property, reducing further cost and inconvenience in the future.

With strong winds being a common occurrence in the UK, there are a few actions that can be taken to maximize the protection of your property in its constant battle against every day weather conditions. By doing the following, you will be doing all possible to identify any early sign of what could be a costly emergency in the future. Check your roof. Have a close look for any damages such as loose or missing tiles. If you do spot any damages to the tiles on your roof, they should be taken care of as soon as possible. .Check your chimney. All of the surrounding pointing should be intact with no holes or cracks. · Check your gutters. Neglected gutters are responsible for many of our emergency callouts. Often, these calls are being made due to gutters being faulty or blocked. As a guideline, you should clean and check your gutter at least once a year. If they are blocked they will inevitably overflow and will cause your walls to dampen. · Get rid of any loose or unwanted TV and radio aerials.

Thick snow on a pitched roof can be extremely difficult to get rid of, especially if the weather has been so severe that it’s left it frozen. Ideally, snow that has set on a pitched roof should be removed as soon as possible because a buildup of snow can cause structural damage to the property.However, you should never try to remove the snow yourself as roofs are dangerous at the best of times, never mind in severe winter conditions. If anything were to happen, causing harm to you or a passerby, the emergency services might have difficulty in reaching you - especially if the weather is anything like the snow fall we experiences in 2010.

Plastic gutters can be corroded by ice and snow. To prevent expensive damages, you should have them cleaned and cleared of blockages before the winter months. If gutters are blocked and become full with water, freezing temperatures will cause ice to form which will cause harm.

Once an emergency repair has been carried out on your property, we will send you an invoice either by post or e-mail - whichever option is best suited to you. Next, you are required to submit the invoice to your insurance company along with a claim form. You should ask them to pay us directly, which will usually take no longer than two weeks.

Here are some useful tips you can use when it comes to choosing a good quality, professional roofing contractor, and not the kind who will leave you with a badly done job: · You should never employ a door-knocker. Those who go around houses saying they can fix this and that for you at a discounted price do not have prestigious reputations for professionally done jobs and great customer service. Generally, they will not give you an official receipt recognized by insurance companies and will always ask for a cash payment. · You should never pay cash for a service that will not give you a receipt. If the roofer’s work is below standards, you have no proof of payment. · Your insurance company will only pay out for roofing repairs upon seeing evidence, such as an official receipt or invoice · Be wary of leaflets through your door with only a mobile number and no address. If it does have an address, thoroughly research the contractor beforehand so that if you do agree to pay for their service, you are fully aware of their standard of work. · You should always use a roofing contractor that is in the possession of Public Liability Insurance. If they do not, and damages are caused to your property, you are left to cover the cost of these damages. · You should always use a roofer who is a member of the Confederation of Roofing Contractors (CORC). Then, if anything were to go wrong, you have a trade association that can help you solve any problems that you may have with the contractor.

Remember, we are always here to help and will happily give you the advice you require freely.
