Urgent control followed by proper repair
Hazards assessed first
Loose materials and exposed areas are checked before repair work.
Hidden movement considered
We inspect beside the obvious damage for storm-related weakness.
Permanent work planned
Temporary protection is followed by full reinstatement advice.
Check loose and exposed areas after bad weather
Strong wind and heavy rain can move coverings, damage ridges, lift flashing or drive debris into a roof. Outlets may also block just as rainfall becomes heaviest. If you have a storm damaged roof in London, keep away from loose material and don't climb up for a closer look. Record only what is safely visible and note when the incident happened. Tell us where water is entering, whether anything has fallen and if an area can be isolated. We provide 24-hour support and begin by assessing immediate hazards, exposed sections and the risk of further water entry.
Protect the building before permanent reinstatement
Temporary weatherproofing may be needed when conditions or the extent of damage prevent a full repair at once. Once the immediate exposure is controlled, we inspect adjacent coverings, flashings and junctions because wind can disturb more than the obvious missing piece. Permanent work is then matched to the roof material and damage found. We replace or secure coverings, renew affected weatherproof layers and deal with vulnerable details. The aim is full reinstatement, not leaving emergency sheeting to become part of the architecture.
Frequently asked questions
What should we photograph after storm damage?
Only record damage visible from a safe position. Useful images may show missing coverings, debris, affected rooms or water entry. Do not climb onto the roof or stand beneath loose materials to obtain a better photograph.
Can you make a storm damaged roof safe at night?
We take calls 24 hours a day and assess the information you provide. Attendance and the action possible depend on safe access, weather and the damage. Temporary protection may be used where a permanent repair cannot safely be completed at once.
Why inspect areas beside the obvious storm damage?
Wind can loosen fixings, lift flashing and disturb nearby coverings without removing them completely. Checking adjacent sections helps reveal weaknesses that could leak during the next spell of rain if left untreated.
