Housing Associations: Emergency Call Outs in Blackpool
Housing association work is procurement-led — the roofer that answers the survey properly usually wins the schedule.
The emergency call outs work itself
When a roof fails, it usually fails fast — a missing tile in a downpour, a chimney letting water into the bedroom, slates threatening to fall. We attend emergencies the same day wherever possible, make the property safe and watertight first, then come back to do the permanent repair properly once the worst is past.
