Frequently Asked Questions
For active leaks we aim to respond rapidly and can often provide a temporary weatherproof cover the same day. Permanent repairs are scheduled as soon as materials and safe access are available — timing depends on the extent of damage and the weather, but urgent issues are prioritised.
