Strong winds and heavy rain can loosen tiles, lift flat roof edges and damage flashings. If a storm has hit your home in Greater Manchester or West Yorkshire, these steps can help.
1. Stay safe
Do not go up on the roof or lean out of windows to look. Loose tiles and debris can fall. Keep people away from any area where pieces may have landed.
2. Check from the ground
Look at the roof from the street or garden. Note any missing or slipped tiles, damaged ridge tiles, lifted flat roof edges or bent flashing.
3. Check inside
Look in the loft, if it is safe to do so, and at ceilings on the top floor for drips, damp patches or daylight showing through.
4. Protect your belongings
If water is coming in, move furniture and valuables away and catch drips with a bucket or towels.
5. Call a roofer
Storm damage is best repaired quickly, before more rain gets in. Absolute Roofing 247 offers storm damage repairs and 24/7 emergency roofing across Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and the surrounding areas.
