emergency roof leak repair in Queensferry (39)

If you see any signs of water, for example, water stains on your walls/ceilings, or water dripping, then this needs to be sorted right away.

A roof leak should be addressed as soon as you notice it. Call an emergency roofer and try and limit the damage to your home by placing a bucket to collect water and moving possessions.

An untreated roof leak can lead to costly problems such as structural damage, damp and mould, electrical hazards and potential pest infestations.

We recommend getting it fixed right away.

We would not recommend getting on a roof to fix a leak, always hire a professional. However, there are things you can do inside to try and contain the leak, such as putting a bucket underneath and moving any possessions away. This will prevent further damage.

There are a few things you can do to limit the damage a roof leak can cause:

• Move anything you can out of the way of the leak. A leaking roof is bad enough, so move any possessions or furniture out of the way of the leak

• Contain the water. If you can, try to collect the water in buckets to reduce the damage to the surrounding area of your home

• Take photos in case you need them for an insurance claim
