High winds and driving rain are the most common cause of sudden roof damage in the UK. Knowing what to check helps you act quickly.

What to Check From the Ground

  • Displaced or missing tiles and slates
  • Debris in gutters or on the ground
  • Damaged flashing around chimneys
  • Sagging or bowing roofline

Stay safe

Never climb onto a storm-damaged roof. Surfaces are unstable and often slippery — call an insured professional.
