Active Leaks
Water tracking through ceilings or down walls, drips that speed up when it rains. Every hour it runs, the damage spreads into insulation, plaster and electrics.
Water coming in now, tiles gone in the night, a flat roof peeling in the wind. Call J&B Roofing Specialists on 07375 366681 at any hour. Local Hull roofers with over 30 years experience, ready around the clock.
Describe what you can see and we will tell you honestly
Some jobs can wait a week and some cannot wait an hour. If your roof falls into any of the categories below, call rather than message.
Water tracking through ceilings or down walls, drips that speed up when it rains. Every hour it runs, the damage spreads into insulation, plaster and electrics.
Tiles stripped by wind, ridges broken, lead flashing lifted. What the storm started, the next shower finishes, so the exposed area needs covering fast.
A flat covering torn or ballooning in the wind can peel off completely and become a danger to anyone below. Our flat roofing in Hull page covers the renewals that follow.
Ridge tiles, chimney pots or stack sections moving above a footpath or the road. This is the most urgent kind of all, because it is a safety risk, not just a repair bill.
Four things you can do in the first hour that genuinely limit the damage. None of them involve going up a ladder.
Keep everyone clear of the affected room, especially where water is near lights or sockets. Switch off the circuit at the fuse board if in any doubt.
Buckets, basins and old towels under the drip line. Punching a small hole in a bulging plaster ceiling lets the water out in a controlled way instead of bringing the ceiling down.
Pictures of the damage outside and the water inside are worth having for your own records and any insurer conversation later.
Never climb up during wind or rain or in the dark. Leave that to roofers who work at height for a living and carry the right gear.
Call 07375 366681. We are based in Hull, available around the clock, and emergency work comes first.
The first visit stops the water and secures the structure. The second stage is the permanent fix, and it gets the same care as any scheduled job: matched tiles, proper leadwork, and materials fitted to last. Everything we do feeds into our wider roof repairs in Hull service, so nothing gets patched and forgotten.
We are the same team that works as roofers in Hull for full reroofs and planned maintenance, which means the roofer who makes your emergency safe is the one accountable for the finished repair.

Active leaks, water coming through ceilings, storm damage such as missing tiles or lifted flat roof coverings, loose ridge tiles or chimney masonry above a path or road, and anything that will get dramatically worse if it is ignored. If you are unsure, call and describe what you can see, we will tell you honestly how urgent it is.
We are based in Hull, so travel is short for most of the city. How fast we can attend depends on the weather and the calls already in front of you, but emergency work comes first, and we will give you an honest arrival time on the phone rather than a vague promise.
Yes. Making the property safe comes first, which can mean temporary coverings or securing loose materials until a full repair can be scheduled. We come back to complete the permanent repair properly, with materials fitted to the same standard as any other job.
Move valuables and electrical items out of the way and catch water in buckets. If it is safe from the ground only, take photos of the damage for your own records. Never climb onto a roof in bad weather, the risk is never worth it.
We focus on the roof, but we can describe the damage, the cause as we see it, and the work we carry out, which gives you a clear record to pass to your insurer. Check your own policy terms, and keep any photos you take before and during the incident.
It depends entirely on the damage, and we do not guess. Emergency attendance does not change our pricing approach: we assess the problem, tell you what needs doing, and quote before the main repair work begins. Advice over the phone is free.
Any hour, any day, across Hull and the East Riding. If it cannot wait, do not wait.
