Why Professional Tarping Is Essential
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an emergency tarp last on a roof?
Our heavy-duty UV-stabilised tarps typically last 3 to 6 months when properly installed with mechanical fastening. Duration depends on weather exposure, UV intensity, and wind conditions. We recommend scheduling permanent repairs within 4 to 8 weeks of tarping.
What does emergency roof tarping cost?
Emergency tarping costs vary based on roof size, height, accessibility, and the extent of damage. Most standard residential tarping is covered under your home insurance policy. We provide detailed invoicing that aligns with insurance requirements for straightforward claim processing.
Will my insurance cover emergency roof tarping?
Yes, emergency roof tarping is typically covered as a reasonable mitigation measure under most home insurance policies. Insurers expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a storm event. We provide all documentation required for your claim.
What size tarp is needed for my roof damage?
Tarp size depends on the area of damage plus an overlap margin of at least one metre on all sides. Our crews carry a range of tarp sizes from 3x4 metres to 10x12 metres and can deploy multiple tarps for larger damaged areas. Size is assessed on arrival.
Can I tarp my own roof after storm damage?
We strongly advise against DIY roof tarping. Working at height on a damaged roof is extremely dangerous, amateur tarping often fails in subsequent weather and can void insurance claims. Professional installation with mechanical fastening is essential for effective protection and insurance compliance.
