Expert Roofer VerifiedEvery check passed, see our profileStorm and wind damage to look for
After high winds, check from the ground and from the loft. These are the signs the storm got in.
Tiles or slates on the ground
Pieces of tile or slate in the garden or on the drive mean there is a gap in the roof now, and the next rain goes straight in.
Ridge or hip tiles lifted or missing
Wind gets under ridge tiles where the mortar has weakened and lifts them off. An open ridge lets rain run down the inside of the roof.
Flashing peeled back
Strong gusts peel lead away from chimneys and walls. Look for flashing standing proud of the brickwork or flapping in the wind.
Flat roof felt lifted or torn
Wind catches loose edges on felt flat roofs over garages and extensions and tears them back, leaving the deck open to the rain.
New stains after a storm
A damp patch that appears on a ceiling straight after a storm means water is getting in above it. The sooner it is found, the less damage it does.
How we repair storm damage
Call Patrick on 020 8138 0918 and tell him what you can see. He gets out to you, gets up to the damage and makes the roof watertight first, so the rain stops coming in. Then he photographs everything the storm has done, including the parts you cannot see from the ground, and sends you the photos. They are a clear record of the damage if you decide to make an insurance claim.
Next comes the proper repair, priced in writing before it starts. Blown tiles and slates are replaced to match, ridges and hips are rebedded or dry-fixed so the wind cannot lift them again, flashing is renewed in lead, and torn flat roof felt is repaired or replaced. The waste goes with us and you pay on completion.

Storms and Croydon roofs
South Croydon climbs onto the slopes of the North Downs, and houses on the higher ground in Addington, Selsdon, Sanderstead and Coulsdon take the full force of south-westerly gales. Ridges bedded in old mortar and tiles hanging on rusted nails are the first to go. Patrick makes those roofs watertight first and then fixes the weak points the storm found, so the next gale has less to work with.

What storm damage repairs cost
Making the roof watertight is agreed with you before the team starts. The full repair is priced from the photos once Patrick has seen everything the storm did: a few replacement tiles is a small job, a stripped ridge or a torn flat roof is a bigger one. Either way you agree the price before any work starts, with no extra or hidden fees.
What sets the price
- How many tiles, slates or ridge tiles are lost
- Flashing or flat roof felt torn
- Roof height and access
- Water damage to felt and battens underneath
- Scaffold if the damage is high or widespread
Storm and wind damage roof repair questions
What should I do if a storm has damaged my roof?
Stay off the roof and keep clear of anything still at risk of falling. Put a bucket under any drip, move valuables out of the way and take photos of the damage from the ground. Then call Patrick on 020 8138 0918 and he will get the roof watertight.
Can you make my roof watertight before the full repair?
Yes. Stopping the water comes first. Patrick makes the damaged area watertight, then photographs the full extent of the damage and prices the permanent repair, so you are never left with rain coming in while you decide.
Can you provide photos for my insurance claim?
Yes. Patrick photographs all the storm damage and sends you the pictures with a written price for the repair. You can send both straight to your insurer.
How can I stop storm damage happening again?
Storm damage starts where the roof was already weak: ridge mortar that had cracked, tiles on rusted nails, flashing that had started to lift. Dry-fixing the ridge and hips, refixing loose tiles and renewing tired lead makes the roof far harder for the wind to get into. Patrick will show you which of these your roof needs.
Do you repair storm damage on flat roofs?
Yes. Wind tears loose felt on garage and extension roofs. We repair the damaged section or, when the old felt has had its day, replace the roof in felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass. Every flat roof comes with a 14-day cooling-off period.
