Is My Roof Problem an Emergency?

Select what you're noticing and get an instant, honest read on how urgent it is — built from the same severity guide in our signs of roof damage guide. It's a starting point, not a diagnosis.

What are you noticing? (select all that apply)

Select what you're noticing above to get an instant read on how urgent it is.

This is a general guide based on common patterns, not a diagnosis. If there's any risk to safety — water near electrics, a ceiling that looks close to collapse — treat it as urgent regardless of this result. See our leaking roof guide for the immediate safety steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an official diagnosis?

No — this is a general guide based on common patterns, not a diagnosis. Only someone who can actually see your roof can tell you what's really going on.

What if I'm still not sure how urgent it is?

That uncertainty is itself a reason to get it looked at — a roof inspection exists precisely to turn a guess into a clear answer.

What should I do if there's an active leak right now?

Protect people and electrics first, then contain the water — see our full leaking roof guide for the step-by-step first-hour checklist.

Does RoofEnquiry carry out emergency callouts?

No. RoofEnquiry is an enquiry and matching service — we don't employ roofers or carry out roofing work ourselves. Selecting an urgent timeframe on your enquiry signals to any roofing professional reviewing it that the situation is time-sensitive, but we can't guarantee contact or a response time.
