Storm-blown tiles and slates
High winds lift tiles at verges, ridges and eaves first. We replace lost tiles, secure loose ones and check the felt underneath for tears.

Overview
When your roof can't wait
A roof emergency is anything that lets water into your home or puts people at risk: storm-blown tiles or slates, a collapsed section of ridge, a leak through a ceiling, a damaged chimney, or a fallen tree branch.
Our first job is to make the roof safe and stop more water getting in. That might mean temporary sheeting, replacing lost tiles, or securing loose materials. Once the roof is safe and the weather allows, we carry out the permanent repair.
Because Travis is local to Glastonbury, emergency calls in Street, Wells, Somerton and the other towns we cover can be reached quickly. You speak directly to the roofer who will come out, not a call centre.
The risk of waiting
Why emergency roof damage must be dealt with fast
Every hour water gets in, the bill for the inside of your home grows.
Ceiling damage
Water pooling above plasterboard can bring a ceiling down.
Electrical risk
Water near light fittings and wiring is a safety hazard.
More tiles lost
Once wind gets under the roof covering, more tiles can follow.
Contents ruined
Furniture, carpets and belongings below the leak are at risk.
Insurance complications
Insurers expect homeowners to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage.
Common mistakes homeowners make
- Climbing onto a wet or damaged roof yourself.
- Waiting until after the weekend while water keeps coming in.
- Accepting a temporary patch as the permanent fix.
Warning signs
Signs you need emergency roof repairs

In detail
Common roof emergencies we deal with
Storms sweeping across the Somerset Levels and Mendips cause predictable types of roof damage.
“Very happy with the work completed by Travis, kept me informed with everything and kept everything tidy.”
Ridge and verge failure
Old mortar-bedded ridges and verges can come away in storms. We re-secure them and can recommend dry-fix systems to prevent a repeat.
Sudden leaks
A leak during heavy rain may come from a failed valley, flashing, slipped tile or blocked gutter. We trace the source and stop the water.
Chimney damage
Loose pots, cracked flaunching or a damaged stack can be dangerous after a storm. We make the chimney safe and plan the permanent repair.
Flat roof failures
Split felt and lifted edges on flat roofs cause fast leaks into extensions and garages. We seal and protect them, then advise on repair or replacement.
Why homeowners choose Travis
Why choose TB Property Maintenance and Roofing
for emergency roof repairs
You deal with the roofer, not a salesman
When you call about emergency roof repairs, you speak to Travis. He inspects the roof, prices the work and carries it out himself, bringing in trusted labourers only on larger jobs. There's no handover between a surveyor, an office and a crew, so nothing gets lost along the way.
Evidence before every decision
You see photos of the problem before you're asked to spend anything. If extra work turns up once the job starts, you're shown the evidence and the options before anything changes. One customer put it simply: he kept them informed of any extra work needed, with evidence.
A fixed price, not a day rate
Every emergency roof repairs job is quoted at a fixed price after a free inspection. You know the full cost up front, and it doesn't creep up if the job takes longer than expected. Travis prefers not to publish prices online, because guessing without seeing the roof helps nobody.
