Assess the damage after wind and rain.
Storms can dislodge tiles and ridge pieces or expose weak points around roof edges and flashings. Tell us what you can safely see.
Signs you may notice
After strong wind or heavy rain you may spot missing tiles, shifted ridge pieces, debris on the ground or new water marks indoors. Some faults are less visible from ground level, so explain any change you have noticed rather than assuming the whole roof is unaffected.
Immediate safety
Keep people away from areas where materials could fall. Do not climb onto the roof or attempt to move loose coverings. Avoid wet electrical fittings and tell us if water is still entering when you make contact.
Possible causes
Wind can disturb coverings and roof-edge details, while heavy rain may expose existing weaknesses in flashing, joints or drainage. Assessment is needed to distinguish the visible damage from surrounding wear and identify the appropriate repair.
Record what happened from a safe position
Note when the weather and damage occurred, where the problem appears and whether it has changed. Safely taken photographs of the roof from the ground and affected areas indoors can help explain the issue. Keep any existing records of earlier roof work.
How we assess and repair
We discuss the location, current condition and access before arranging assessment. The affected coverings, nearby fixings and relevant junctions are checked to establish the repair scope.
Where practical, temporary protection may be considered separately from a permanent repair. The proposed work and quote explain the materials, access and affected area. Agree what photographs or written findings you need when arranging the work.
Your questions answered
Can you attend straight after a storm?
Availability, weather and safe access need confirming when you contact us. Tell us whether the damage is active; no attendance time is guaranteed on this page.
Can you provide photographs or a repair scope?
Discuss the documentation you need when arranging the assessment. The findings and agreed work can be recorded in the scope; any specific reporting requirements need agreeing.
Will my insurance cover the repair?
Coverage is a matter for your insurer and policy. Ask them what information and approvals they require; we do not promise that a claim will be accepted.
