24/7 cover. 25 minutes from Chippenham. No call-out fee.
For an active leak, storm damage or tiles down, we make safe the same day in Devizes. Devizes has one of the finest Georgian market-town cores in the West Country — brick and stone townhouses, clay and slate roofs, and a large conservation area, ringed by post-war and modern estates. On this kind of stock, the common problems are parapet-gutter and leadwork failure on Georgian townhouses, slipped slates, and conservation-grade roof repairs — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.
Emergency response to Devizes from our Chippenham base covers approximately 14 miles of mainly A-road driving — typically 25 minutes to the town centre, targeting on-site arrival within 2.5–3 hours of call. We cover Devizes and surrounding villages including Bishops Cannings, Potterne, Market Lavington and Urchfont.
The most common emergency call from Devizes is chimney flashing failure on Georgian town centre properties — the age of the lead combined with Devizes's chalk downland temperature variation creates more thermal cycling than in warmer, more sheltered locations. We carry code 4 and 5 lead and lime mortar for Devizes emergency visits.
Call 01249 247 076 and tell us what is happening. We prioritise active leaks and storm damage and aim to attend Devizes and the surrounding SN10 area the same day.
The first job is to stop water getting in — temporary weatherproofing, tarpaulin over an exposed area, or securing loose tiles and a dropped ridge — protecting your home while a permanent repair is planned.
Once the immediate risk is contained, we assess what is needed to put it right and give you a written quote, separately from the make-safe.
Storm damage is usually an insurance matter; we photograph and document the damage and our work so you have what you need for a claim.
Devizes has one of the finest Georgian market-town cores in the West Country — brick and stone townhouses, clay and slate roofs, and a large conservation area, ringed by post-war and modern estates. The emergencies we get called to here are usually parapet-gutter and leadwork failure on Georgian townhouses, slipped slates, and conservation-grade roof repairs. Devizes sits high on the edge of Salisbury Plain, exposed to wind, with the Kennet and Avon canal adding local humidity. — which is exactly the exposure that turns a small weakness into a sudden leak or lost tiles in a storm.
Wherever you are in Devizes, the priority in an emergency is the same: stop the water first, sort the permanent fix second. We make safe quickly, then talk you through the repair without any pressure — a live leak is never a reason to be rushed into a big decision. Do not engage with any doorstep trader who knocks after a storm claiming to have spotted damage; call an established local firm and let the insurance process work properly.
If you have an active leak in Devizes, move furniture and valuables clear and put down buckets. If a ceiling is bulging with trapped water, it can be safer to pierce it over a bucket to drain it in a controlled way than to let the whole ceiling come down — but only if you can do so safely from below. Turn off electrics near any water ingress. Do not go up on the roof yourself, especially in the weather that caused the problem; that is what we are equipped and insured for.

Call 01249 247 076 immediately — we respond 24/7. In the meantime: move valuables away from the affected area, place buckets under active drips, and if ceiling plaster is bulging with water, carefully pierce it at the lowest point to release the water in a controlled flow rather than letting it collapse. Do not go on the roof yourself.
Yes. We provide a written damage assessment report, dated photographs of the roof condition before and after repair, and an itemised invoice. Insurers typically require this documentation for storm damage claims. We can also provide a separate condition report if your insurer requests one.
