Emergency roofers in Brisbane

Ask these on the phone

Emergency work is where quote-on-arrival pricing causes the most disputes. Two minutes of questions before anyone is dispatched prevents nearly all of them.

• ?Can you do an emergency make-safe today, with the permanent repair booked later?
• ?What is the callout fee, and is the make-safe charged separately?
• ?Do you invoice the insurer directly, or do I pay and claim?
• ?How long until you can be here?

Common questions

How many Brisbane roofers offer emergency callouts?

11 of the 71 roofers listed in Brisbane state that they take emergency or after-hours callouts. That is what the business publishes about itself — we have not independently verified availability, response times or that anyone will answer at 3am.

What should I do before roofer arrives?

Do not go onto the roof, particularly in wet or windy weather. Roof falls are among the most common serious injuries in home maintenance, and a wet roof in a storm is the worst version of it. Put buckets under the leak and pierce a small hole in a bulging ceiling to let water drain in one spot. A bulging plasterboard ceiling can come down all at once, and a controlled hole is far better than that. Turn off the power to affected rooms at the switchboard if water is anywhere near light fittings.

What should I ask when I ring?

Can you do an emergency make-safe today, with the permanent repair booked later? What is the callout fee, and is the make-safe charged separately? Do you invoice the insurer directly, or do I pay and claim? Getting the callout fee and the after-hours loading agreed on the phone is the single most effective thing you can do to avoid a dispute afterwards.
