Hire a licensed Roofer for Roof Storm Damage Make Safe

The cost of a storm damage make‑safe largely depends on how the work can be carried out and the equipment required. Ground‑based jobs using short ladders and a small crew are typically less complex than aerial rope‑access or crane/Hiab operations, which introduce specialist labour, rigging and permit needs. After‑hours callouts and difficult site access can also increase the final price.

• Roof material and fragility

  Older terracotta, slate or fragile sheeting usually requires careful handling, slower work practices and extra rigging.

• Urgency and active water ingress

  Active leaks or emergency call-outs typically need faster attendance, more personnel and more robust tarping or interior containment.

• Extent of damage and repairs needed

  Larger damaged areas or numerous tiles/sheets to secure generally increase labour and materials required for the temporary make-safe.

• Access, height and roof slope

  Steep, high or difficult-to-access roofs often demand additional safety measures and longer on-site time.

• Presence of hazardous materials

  If asbestos or other hazardous materials are present, removal by a specialist with the appropriate licence is generally required and charged separately.
