One call for the whole job
I’m Victor from Holy Mess Repairs. A fallen tree usually needs three things: the tree cut and removed, the hole made watertight, and the damage repaired. We handle all three. Tree removal is done by a fully licensed arborist we organise and manage; our own team makes the roof safe and does the repairs.
Every job is done by fully licensed tradespeople, either our own Holy Mess team or a fully licensed contractor we organise and manage.
What we do
- Make it safe: tarp the roof, brace damaged framing, board up broken windows
- Tree removal: cut and removed by a fully licensed arborist we organise and manage. See tree removal.
- Insurance report: photos of the impact, the damage and the cause, with itemised repair costs
- Repairs: roof framing, tiles and sheets, gutters, gables and masonry, fences and pergolas
Insurance reports for tree damage
Insurers usually want to know what fell, why, and exactly what it damaged. Our reports document the impact with photos, record the cause, and price the repair item by item. Need paperwork for a claim? See our insurance reports and, if a builder or contractor caused the problem, our expert witness and building dispute reports.
Before we get there
- If anyone is in danger, call 000. For fallen power lines, stay well clear and call your electricity distributor’s faults line.
- Turn off the water at the main stop tap (usually near the meter at the front boundary) if a pipe or fixture is leaking.
- Turn off the power at the switchboard if water is near power points, lights or appliances, and only if you can do it safely without standing in water.
- Smell gas? Don’t use switches or flames, open doors and windows, get out and call the gas emergency line.
- Move valuables away from the water and catch drips with buckets and towels.
- Take photos and videos for your insurer, and send them to us on WhatsApp at 0426 204 244.
After-hours emergency pricing, up front
After hours there’s a $330 call-out fee, and the minimum charge for an emergency repair is $550. We tell you both on the phone before we head out, so there are no surprises at the door. If the job is bigger than an emergency fix, we make it safe first, then give you a written quote for the long-term repair before any more work starts.
How it works
- You call, a tradesperson answers. Any hour, 7 days, on 0426 204 244. Send photos and videos on WhatsApp.
- We confirm the cost on the phone. $330 after-hours call-out and a $550 minimum, before anyone heads out.
- We make it safe. Stop the water, isolate the danger, cover or secure what’s damaged.
- We fix the cause. On the spot where we can, by fully licensed tradespeople.
- Photos and a quote for the rest. Before and after photos for you and your insurer, and a written quote for the long-term repair.
