A roof make safe is an emergency service that provides temporary protection to your roof following damage. This might involve tarping or covering broken or missing sections, securing loose tiles or metal sheeting, clearing debris that could cause further damage, and preventing water ingress until full repair can be done. Make safes are not permanent fixes but critical stop-gaps to avoid further internal damage, safety hazards, and escalating repair costs.
Even small roof damage can lead to major issues once water starts getting in, damage spreads quickly to insulation, framing, ceilings, and interiors.
Loose materials, exposed structure, sharp edges or collapsing sections pose risks. Make safes reduce these hazards until permanent repairs are arranged.
Temporary fixes stop damage escalation, saving you from bigger structural or cosmetic repair bills down the track.
Securing a roof prevents water leaks, mould, rot, and damage to ceilings, electronics, furnishings, and internal finishes.
Initial Emergency Inspection & Assessment
We respond quickly to assess damage, note hazards, and plan the safest temporary protection.
Temporary Covering Installation

Secure Loose Roofing Material
Ridge caps, tiles, or sheets that are loose are re-fixed temporarily to prevent further displacement.
Debris Removal & Cleaning
Remove broken materials, fallen branches, or other blockages that may worsen damage or obstruct sealing.
Provisional Waterproofing & Sealing
Apply sealing, temporary flashing, or use patching compounds to make exposed zones water-tight until full repairs.
Review & Quote for Permanent Repair
Document damage, produce a thorough report with photographs, and provide an itemised quote for the full restoration work.
