Storm damage to your roof: a homeowner's checklist
What to check safely from the ground after high winds, and how to deal with insurance.
Check from the ground
Look for tiles or slates in the garden, gaps along the roof, displaced ridge tiles, leaning chimney pots and bent gutters. Check the loft with a torch for daylight or damp.
Insurance
Take photos, note the date of the storm and contact your insurer. A roofer's written report and photos can help support a claim.
