How this job usually looks for landlords

On emergency roof repair jobs for landlords, the priorities are usually predictable — and different from a walk-in domestic call. Here's what we plan around on a Burnley tenanted terraces job.

  • Same-week attendance to avoid escalating tenant complaints
  • Documented make-safe so the property meets basic habitability
  • Itemised VAT invoices addressed to the landlord or letting agent
  • Photographs before and after every visit for the tenancy file
  • Options that protect the roof for the next 5–10 year hold

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.

Same-day attendance for genuine emergencies
Temporary weatherproofing (tarps, boarding, sealing)
Photographic damage record for insurance claims
Permanent repair scheduled within days
Written report suitable for insurers

How the emergency call outs job runs for landlords

We coordinate access directly with the tenant, work around agreed hours, and never leave the property open overnight. Payment terms and invoice format are agreed in writing before we start.

Typical duration: Initial make-safe is usually 1–3 hours on site; permanent repair scheduled within 2–7 days.

Every emergency roof repair job for landlords in Burnley closes with the same paperwork so nothing is verbal.

  • Photographic before/after record
  • Written workmanship guarantee
