An emergency is water entering a living space, roof structure exposed to weather, or anything at risk of falling. Everything else can safely wait for daylight and a proper quote.
When it is not the answer: A few displaced tiles with no water coming in is not an emergency. We will tell you that on the phone and book you in properly rather than charging emergency attendance. Read the full guide.
Village west of Basingstoke with a distinct identity despite proximity. Victorian cottages around the church, 1960s–70s infill along Andover Road, and modern estates at Oakley Park. Concrete interlocking tiles on most post-war stock, clay plain tiles on period homes.
Nail sickness on 1970s concrete tile properties along Andover Road. Valley and flashing failures on properties backing onto woodland — heavy leaf fall and moss growth. Chimney problems on Victorian cottages around St Leonard's church.
Oakley sits 3 miles west of Basingstoke in a gentle valley with mature woodland on its northern and western boundaries. The tree cover creates a sheltered microclimate but also produces heavy leaf fall that blocks gutters, valleys and flat roof drainage every autumn. North-facing slopes in Oakley stay damp longer than equivalent positions in open Basingstoke. For emergency roofing work, this creates specific challenges that differ from sheltered Basingstoke sites.
Oakley's housing is predominantly mixed — Victorian cottages around the church, 1960s–70s infill, modern estates stock, with a clear split between the period properties around St Leonard's church and the later builds along Andover Road and Oakley Park. The village retains a separate identity from Basingstoke despite being only 3 miles from the western edge. Properties backing onto woodland on the northern fringe face the heaviest tree debris load of any location we cover. Annual gutter clearing and valley maintenance is not optional — it is the difference between a dry house and a damp one.
Oakley's woodland proximity means we see a type of emergency rare in urban Basingstoke: branch impact damage. A falling branch can crack tiles, displace ridges, puncture flat roofs, and damage chimney stacks in a single event. Branch impact creates ragged, irregular damage that is harder to temporarily weatherproof than clean storm displacement. We carry a wider range of temporary repair materials for Oakley call-outs to handle these variable damage patterns.
Oakley is only 8 minutes from our Basingstoke base — one of the closest locations we cover. After-hours emergency calls to Oakley typically receive faster response than more distant locations. For active leaks, we aim to be on site within 90 minutes of your call, conditions permitting.

Call 0125 624 2410You speak to a roofer, not a call centre. We assess the severity over the phone — active leak into living space, structural concern, or cosmetic damage that can wait for daylight. For active leaks and structural issues, we aim to be on site within 2–3 hours across Oakley. For urgent but non-critical damage, we schedule a same-day or next-morning visit.
On arrival, we assess the damage, explain what needs doing, and give you a clear price before starting any work. Emergency make-safe is our first priority — stopping water getting in and ensuring the roof structure is not at risk. Once the building is secure, we discuss whether a permanent repair can be completed immediately or needs scheduling for better conditions or materials.
We carry a full range of emergency materials: heavy-duty tarpaulin, mechanical tarp fixings for high-wind conditions, temporary tile fixings, emergency flashing tape, and expanding foam for immediate draught and leak stopping. On Oakley's 1960s–70s housing, we also carry common tile profiles to enable same-visit permanent repairs rather than temporary patches wherever possible.
Four steps from first call to completed work. No call-out fee, no obligation, and a written quote before anything starts.

| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Phone triage | Immediate |
| Attendance, active leak | 2–3 hours |
| Make-safe on site | 1–3 hours |
| Temporary weatherproofing | Same visit |
| Permanent repair | Scheduled, typically within 2 weeks |
During major storm events demand spikes and we attend by severity — structural risk and internal water first. We tell you a realistic time rather than a comforting one.
Emergency work uses ladders and roof ladders wherever it can be done safely. Scaffold is specified for: any permanent repair that follows; make-safe itself rarely waits for scaffold - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Oakley's village plots take scaffold well, but the woodland-edge properties on the northern fringe usually need branch clearance before staging can go up safely. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like Andover Road, Rectory Road, Oakley Park where space is tight.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency make-safe | £200–£450 | Same day, full photographic record |
| Temporary weatherproofing | Included | Rated for high wind, not lightweight sheeting |
| Ridge or hip replacement | £280–£650 | The most common storm repair |
| Storm tile replacement | £180–£520 | Matched profile, quantity dependent |
| Flat roof storm repair | £250–£900 | Lifted membrane or impact puncture |
| Insurance report | Free with repair | Dated photographs and causation opinion |
Worked example: Storm-displaced ridge section on a detached on Brighton Way, Brighton Hill: same-day make-safe at £280, permanent dry ridge conversion the following week at £520, with the make-safe credited — £520 total.
No deposit on emergency attendance — you pay on completion. Where make-safe is followed by permanent repair, the make-safe cost is credited so you never pay twice. All prices include VAT.
Covering RG23 and surrounding postcodes.
Permanent repairs carry the full 10-year workmanship guarantee. Temporary make-safe is exactly that, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
Fast, focused work, often in poor weather. We protect the interior beneath the ingress point and clear anything that has come down. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
We work in the conditions that caused the damage. Make-safe materials are rated for high wind, unlike the lightweight sheeting adequate on a calm day. Woodland shelter keeps Oakley damp and debris-laden; north-facing slopes stay wet long after open Basingstoke has dried.
"Storm took ridge tiles off at two in the morning. Called at seven, they were here by nine. Made it safe, came back next day for permanent repair. Brilliant."
"Huge leak into the loft during a downpour. They arrived within two hours, tarped the roof, and traced the problem to a split valley. Permanent fix done the following week."
"Flat roof peeled back in high winds. Emergency call-out on a Saturday — they secured it and booked the full replacement for Tuesday. Professional from start to finish."
