8 Common Roofing Problems That Demand Urgent Attention
Roofing problems can escalate quickly, especially during severe weather conditions. Spotting the warning signs early can save you from costly damage and ensure your property stays protected. Here are the key indicators that you may need an emergency roofer service:
- Water Stains Indoors – Brown spots or marks on ceilings and walls are early warning signs of roof problems.
- Dripping Water – Active dripping water inside your property usually points to the source of the leak that needs urgent repair.
- Sudden Leaks During Heavy Rain – If water enters during storms, it signals roofing emergencies that temporary repairs won’t fix long term.
- Missing Tiles or Damaged Roofing Materials – Gaps or broken materials leave the roof exposed to further weather conditions.
- Structural Issues in the Affected Area – Sagging ceilings, weakened beams, or cracks suggest serious roof issues that must be addressed quickly.
- Temporary Repairs No Longer Holding – Short-term fixes that keep failing mean full repairs are required for lasting protection.
- Deterioration from Severe Weather Conditions – Wind, hail, or heavy rain often accelerate roof damage and create immediate vulnerabilities.
- Escalating Roof Problems – Small leaks or minor damage left unattended can quickly turn into major roofing emergencies requiring urgent action.
Don’t delay, call our emergency roofing team for a full repair before minor roof issues become costly disasters.

I am not one who normally writes a review but believe that credit should be given where due. Shamrock roofing services recently did whatever necessary work on my roof to bring it up to standard and replaced all the slates on the roof.
They weren’t the first or the last that I contacted to have the roof redone. Michael, the frontman for the company came, had a look at the roof and gave a quote. He took the time to answer my questions promptly and even when he knew that I might go with another company, he still continued to answer any questions that were emailed to him.
Although, they were not the cheapest, I am very glad that I had chosen them to do the work. Their quote was very detailed in the work they would do. They arrived when they said they would and finished within the time frame specified and did a wonderful job on the roof which has received quite a few compliments.
Michael and his crew went above and beyond what was quoted to provide not only excellent craftsmanship but to ensure that the job was done to the highest standard. They made sure that the area and surrounds were cleaned up after they were done each day.
In these days where it is difficult to find a tradesman who would even bother to return your call, I found my dealings with Michael and Shamrock to be very pleasant and honest and liked very much that he communicated to me during the whole process. It took a lot of stress and worry away about my decision not only to choose them but to wonder if they would do a good job. I consider the way they handle things a mark of excellent customer service and a model for any company who would like to emulate this. Their professionalism and dedication to their work speaks for themselves in the finished product, in the way I was treated and my satisfaction at the job well done.
I would recommend Shamrock roofing services in a heartbeat to anyone who would expect a high standard of service, workmanship and professionalism. - We considered repairing our 145 year old slate but ultimately trusted Michael and his team to replace the whole roof.

We considered repairing our 145 year old slate but ultimately trusted Michael and his team to replace the whole roof. We found Michael to be reliable, logical and accurate in the way he approaches his work. I heard from other experienced tradies that he learned from the best (his Dad!) and this shows in the results. He clearly loves roof slating and sings loudly while he works. Michael really cares about his clients and answered Every Single Question with patience. He has a happy team who have been careful, responsive guys who left the place immaculate at the end. Highly recommended.

FAQ’s
Stay indoors during storms. Catch water, move valuables, photograph damage. If safe, a tarp can be fixed to framing from inside the roof space; avoid climbing on wet roofs. Book an emergency response with our experienced roofers for permanent repairs.
Use as a short-term make-safe on dry, clean surfaces only. It won’t bond in heavy rain and can void warranties if used as a permanent fix. We treat sealants as temporary, then return for full repairs.
We stabilise the site with a make-safe temporary solution, then stage the roofing project so the business can keep trading.
Our skilled roofers excel in complex commercial roofing projects, from roof installation to leak repair, and we plan around peak hours, set safe access and traffic management, and work after-hours or weekends if needed.
You’ll get clear timelines, SWMS and permits, photo reports for insurance, and an itemised quote before permanent works begin.
Usually yes for sudden events. Keep photos, videos, invoices, and our report. We can split invoices into make-safe and permanent works to match claims.
Yes. Emergency roof plumbing is licensed work in Victoria, so it should be done by a VBA-licensed or registered roof plumber. Where it applies, you’ll also get a VBA Compliance Certificate.
Our experienced team is fully licensed and insured, and you can verify the attending technician on our website before they arrive. All permanent repairs come with a workmanship guarantee.
No. We don’t use surge pricing. Your repair costs are based on the scope of work and materials, not the time of day. Before we attend, we confirm the call-out and any after-hours fee.
On site we make-safe to an agreed budget, then give you a written quote for the permanent repair costs. If anything changes, we explain it and get your approval first, and you’ll receive an itemised invoice.
We get to work as soon as we arrive. Small areas can be tarped in 15 – 45 minutes, medium sections 45 – 90 minutes, larger or complex areas up to 4 hours. Roof pitch, wind and rain on the day, access height, solar hardware, the condition of tiles or sheets, and general wear and tear all affect timing.
What we actually do on site
- Assess and triage: Locate the source of the leak, isolate any immediate risks and take photos for your insurance claim.
- Secure the tarp properly: Fix to framing or battens, batten the edges, and set a clear water run-off path so valleys and gutters are not blocked. We avoid screwing into gutters or ridge capping and use non-penetrating anchors where needed.
- Make-safe first, full repair next: The tarp is a temporary solution to stop further damage. Once the weather eases, we return for permanent repairs.
- Work safely: If winds are dangerous or there is lightning, we will install internal containment (catchment and protection inside) and return to the roof when it is safe.
How you can help before we arrive
Move valuables, place buckets under drips, photograph the affected area and switch off any power circuits near water. This keeps you safe and speeds up the make-safe.
Why our tarps hold
We use heavy-duty, UV-rated tarps, proper battening, and correct tie-offs so the cover does not “act like a sail.” Poorly fixed tarps can cause more damage; a good make-safe prevents that and buys time for the full repair.
After we make the roof safe, our experienced roofers will assess structure, materials, and cost to repair versus replace. If damage is widespread, tiles are at end-of-life, the deck is compromised, or repairs approach the cost of a re-roof, we’ll recommend roof installation (full or partial). You’ll get a clear, itemised quote and timeline before any work proceeds.
