Real person, day or night. We triage on the phone: is it safe, is water spreading, what can you do right now.
Tarpaulin, temporary battening, water diverted - the property watertight and safe, photographed for your insurer.
What failed, why, and what the permanent repair needs - in writing with photos, ABI-friendly for storm claims.
Booked promptly in daylight and decent weather - emergency make-safe first, proper repair second is how it should be done.

| Temporary weatherproofing | 1-2 hours on site |
| Permanent repair follow-up | Booked within days |
Storm-force winds can delay ladder work for safety - if we cannot get up safely, we mitigate from inside until the wind drops. Honest, and safer for everyone.
Make-safe runs off ladders and towers; the permanent repair is quoted with whatever access it properly needs. Scaffold is specified for: the permanent repair where the damage is extensive - never the make-safe, which is about speed - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
The High Street’s timber-framed and stone frontages are conservation-grade - scaffold via Mid Sussex District Council with conditions; the 1960s-80s estates off London Road are simple access. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Mid Sussex District Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, London Road where space is tight.

A make-safe visit is fast and focused - expect a tarp or battened sheet visible on the roof until the permanent repair, which we book as fast as weather allows. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Emergencies are weather - we work in rain to make safe, but permanent repairs wait for conditions that let the work last. High Weald elevation gives East Grinstead more frost cycling than the low towns - spalled tiles and cracked flaunching show it.
