What To Do After Storm Damage Hits Your Roof

Gerhard Seybert derpressefotograf.de

Storms can wreak havoc on your roof, often without warning. Whether it’s cracked tiles, loose ridge caps, or water pouring through the ceiling, knowing what to do in the aftermath is key to preventing further damage.

Step 1: Stay Safe
Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. Assess the damage from the ground or from inside the loft. Look for obvious signs like missing tiles, debris, or water ingress.

Step 2: Prevent Further Damage
If there’s a leak, place buckets under drips and move valuables away. If safe, cover broken areas with waterproof sheeting until help arrives.

Step 3: Call A Reliable Roofer
Contact a trusted roofing company like Meades Roofing Services. We offer emergency callouts and can provide temporary and permanent solutions.

Step 4: Document the Damage
Take photos and notes for insurance purposes. Most providers will require evidence for claims.

Step 5: Schedule a Full Inspection
Even if damage looks minor, it’s best to get a professional assessment. We provide thorough inspections, with all work handled by our own in-house team.
