Bendigo storms can be sharp: wind, hail or a short dump of rain on a roof that was only just holding. A lifted run of iron on a Golden Square cottage, a blocked box gutter in Kennington, or a penetration leaking in a newer Huntly house will wet a ceiling just as thoroughly as a Melbourne storm. We come ready to stop the water — tarps done properly, tiles or sheets made safe, lights for night work — then we record the cause for you and your insurer.

It is about a two-hour run from our Melbourne team in typical conditions. That’s not around the corner, and we won’t pretend it is. We’ll give you a realistic window, talk you through catching the water, and confirm after-hours pricing before we leave.

What counts as a roof emergency?

• Water coming through the ceiling or light fittings
• Tiles or sheets blown off in a storm
• A tree or branch through the roof
• Box gutters or valleys overflowing into the house
• Ceiling sagging or bulging with water
• Flashings ripped loose in the wind
• A skylight or penetration leaking badly in heavy rain

Before we get there

1. Stay safe. If the ceiling is sagging or water is near light fittings or power points, keep everyone out of that room. Turn the power off at the switchboard if it’s safe to do so.
2. Catch the water. Buckets and towels under the drips. If the ceiling is bulging, don’t poke it yourself; keep people out from under it.
3. Move what matters. Electronics, documents and furniture away from the leak, or covered in plastic.
4. Stay off the roof. Wet roofs are slippery, especially at night. Leave it to us.
5. Take photos. Inside and out, for your insurer.
6. In a life-threatening emergency, call 000. For storm help when nobody can reach you, the SES is on 132 500.

Insurance, photos and a cause report

If a storm, hail or sudden damage caused the leak, your insurer will want evidence. We photograph the damage and what we did, and we write down the cause. Wear and tear is a different story — we’ll tell you if that’s what it looks like. After hours there’s a $330 call-out fee, and the minimum charge for a make-safe, repair or patch done on the spot is $550. We’ll confirm the cost on the phone before we head out.

How our emergency roof repairs work

1. You call, we answer. A real person picks up, any hour, on 0426 204 244. Tell us what you can see and send photos if you can.
2. We talk you through staying safe while we work out how soon a crew can get to you.
3. We stop the water. Depending on the damage: resealing a flashing or skylight, replacing broken tiles, clearing a blocked valley or box gutter, re-fixing lifted sheets, or a properly secured tarp. We bring lights for night work.
4. We record the cause. Photos and notes on what happened and what we did, which your insurer will want.
5. We price the permanent repair. If the make-safe is temporary, you get a price for the proper fix before we start it.

Tarps done properly

A tarp is only as good as how it’s fixed. Thrown over a roof and weighed down with bricks or sandbags, it pools water, flaps in the wind, scratches tiles and often leaks or blows off within days. On a tiled roof, we tuck the top edge under the ridge tiles so water runs over the tarp, not under it, run the bottom into the gutter, and tension it with ropes. We use heavy-duty UV-rated tarps, not thin hardware-store ones. Then we come back and do the permanent repair.

Real work, not made-up local reviews

Published emergency make-safes currently include Donnybrook, Belmont (Geelong), Traralgon, Newborough, Euroa and Pakenham on our emergency roof repair Melbourne page. A Bendigo write-up isn’t up yet. See the job photo gallery for how we tarp and repair.

We answer the phone 24/7. A run from Melbourne to Bendigo is usually around two hours (our estimate). We’ll confirm a realistic arrival time before we leave.

Do you actually answer at night?

Yes. A real person answers 24/7, asks what’s happening and tells you honestly when we can get there.

What should I do before you arrive?

Stay off the roof, catch the water, keep people out from under a sagging ceiling, and turn the power off if water is near fittings and the board is dry to reach. If anyone is in danger, call 000. SES is 132 500.
