Roof Emergency? We're Here, 24 Hours a Day
A roof emergency doesn’t wait — and neither do we. Crown Guard Roofing Services provides 24-hour emergency roof repairs, 365 days a year, across Watchfield, Swindon, Oxford, Witney, Carterton, Abingdon, Didcot and the surrounding areas.
When your roof fails, every minute matters. Water pouring through your ceiling, slipped tiles after a storm, a damaged chimney, or a sudden leak in heavy rain — these aren’t problems that can wait until Monday morning. They need a fast, calm, experienced response — right now.
That’s exactly what we deliver. As a family-owned roofing company with over 10 years of hands-on experience, our emergency team is on call day, night, weekends and bank holidays. We arrive quickly, assess the situation, make your roof safe, and stop further damage in its tracks. Where a permanent repair can’t be carried out immediately (because of weather, darkness or the scale of damage), we’ll fit a temporary tarpaulin or emergency cover so the rest can be sorted in daylight.
Every emergency callout is fully insured, every repair is carried out by skilled tradesmen, and every permanent fix is backed by our 15-year workmanship guarantee for total peace of mind.
Emergency Roofing Services We Provide
We respond to every type of roof emergency — fast. If it’s urgent and roof-related, we can help:
- 24-Hour Emergency Leak Repairs Active leaks during heavy rain, water pouring through ceilings, sudden internal water damage — we'll be there fast to stop the water and protect your home.
- Storm Damage Repairs Wind, rain and storm damage to tiles, slates, ridge tiles, flashing or chimneys — including emergency make-safes and full storm damage assessments.
- Slipped & Missing Tiles Replacement of slipped, broken or missing tiles before water damage spreads further. Same-day where possible.
- Emergency Tarpaulin Cover When weather, darkness or the scale of damage means a permanent repair has to wait, we fit secure temporary tarpaulin to keep your home dry overnight.
- Fallen Tree & Impact Damage Emergency response to fallen tree branches, debris impact, or any external damage that has compromised your roof.
- Chimney Emergency Repairs Loose chimney pots, falling brickwork, leaking flashings — chimney emergencies that can't wait.
- Flat Roof Emergency Repairs Splits, blisters, lifted seams and active leaks on flat roofs — temporary or permanent repairs depending on conditions.
- Gutter & Downpipe Emergencies Broken, fallen or overflowing gutters causing flooding to walls, foundations or interiors.
- Insurance Claim Support Detailed quotes, photographs and reports to support your storm damage or accidental damage insurance claims.
Not Sure If It's an Emergency? Here's How to Tell
If you’re worried, just call us — we’ll happily talk it through and advise honestly whether it needs an emergency response or whether it can wait until tomorrow. But generally, anything in this list should not be left:
Immediate Emergencies
- Water actively pouring or dripping through ceilings
- Visible roof damage after a storm or high winds
- Multiple slipped or missing tiles
- Loose, leaning or falling chimney brickwork
- Tree branches or debris on the roof
- Active flat roof leak with water entering rooms
Urgent (But Can Wait Hours)
- Damp patches that have just appeared
- Water marks getting worse on ceilings
- Sagging ceilings or visible water damage
- Cracked tiles you’ve spotted from the ground
- Lifted lead flashing visible from below
- Heavy gutter overflow during rain
If you’re on the fence, call us anyway. Talking to one of our experienced roofers takes a few minutes and can save you thousands in damage if we recommend acting quickly.
Why You Should Never Wait With a Roof Emergency
A roof problem caught immediately is usually a small repair. Left for a few days, it can turn into a major restoration job. Here’s what’s at stake when water gets inside your home:
- Within minutes: Water soaks into ceiling plaster and insulation, beginning damage that’s often invisible from below.
- Within hours: Plasterboard becomes saturated, paint begins peeling, electrical fittings become a safety risk.
- Within days: Mould begins growing in the loft and behind walls. Wooden timbers start absorbing damp.
- Within weeks: Structural timber rot can set in. Damp spreads into adjoining walls. Possessions become damaged or destroyed.
Within months: Major repair bills, replacement of plaster, ceilings, decoration — and potentially permanent damage to flooring, furniture and electrics
A single emergency callout to make the roof safe and stop the water typically costs a fraction of what it costs to repair the resulting damage. Don’t wait.
How Our Emergency Response Works
When you call our emergency line, here’s what happens — quick, calm, and clear:
Call Us — Day or Night
Phone our emergency line on 07747 599995. We'll answer quickly, listen carefully, and ask the right questions to understand what's happening.
Rapid On-Site Assessment
We'll be with you as quickly as possible — usually the same day, often within hours for genuine emergencies in our local area. Our roofer will assess the damage and explain exactly what's needed.
Make-Safe or Repair
Where possible, we carry out the permanent repair on the spot. Where weather, darkness or the scale of damage means we can't, we fit a secure temporary cover (tarpaulin, sheeting or temporary fixings) to keep your home dry until daylight.

We return as soon as conditions allow to complete the permanent repair to the highest standard — backed by our 15-year workmanship guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are clear, honest answers to the most common questions we get from customers in roofing emergencies:
Yes. Our emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — including weekends, bank holidays, Christmas Day and overnight. If your roof fails at 3am in a storm, we want to hear from you.
For genuine emergencies in our local area, we aim to be on site as quickly as possible — often within hours. Response times depend on your location, current conditions, and how many emergency callouts we're handling, but we'll always give you a realistic time when you call.
- Move furniture, electronics and valuables away from the leak.
- Place buckets, towels or large containers under any drips.
- If water is near electrical fittings, turn off the relevant circuit at the consumer unit if it's safe to do so.
Outside / on the roof:
- Do not climb on the roof yourself — wet, damaged roofs are extremely dangerous, and most insurance won't cover injuries.
- Stay clear of any falling debris.
It depends on the weather, time of day, and the scale of the damage. Where possible, we carry out the full permanent repair on the spot. Where we can't (heavy rain, darkness, structural damage requiring scaffolding), we fit secure temporary cover to keep your home dry, then return as soon as conditions allow to complete the permanent repair.
There is a callout fee for genuine emergency response (especially out-of-hours and weekends) — that's standard across the trade. But we don't gouge customers in distress: our pricing is fair, honest and transparent, and we'll always tell you the cost upfront before any work begins.
Often, yes — particularly for storm damage, accidental damage or impact damage. We're happy to provide detailed quotes, photographs and written reports to support your insurance claim. Many of our emergency customers end up paying nothing or very little out of pocket once their claim is settled.
Yes — Crown Guard Roofing is fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover. We can provide proof of insurance on request, even on emergency callouts.
