What to Do if You Suspect Wind Damage to the Roof of Your Building

As autumn approaches, we can expect the weather to become more unpredictable, often bringing stronger winds that can potentially cause damage to the roofs of buildings. If you suspect that your roof has been affected by high winds, it's important to take immediate action to protect your property and ensure your safety.

Here are the key steps to follow

• Safety First. If you notice any signs of damage, such as missing shingles, leaks, or structural instability, it's crucial to prioritise safety. Avoid walking on the roof yourself and limit access to the affected area (and the ground beneath it - as further debris may fall) until it can be inspected by a professional.
• Document the Damage. Take photographs of any visible damage to your roof. This will help when filing insurance claims and providing evidence to contractors.
• Contact Your Insurance Company. Notify your insurance provider about the potential wind damage. They can guide you through the claims process and provide information on your coverage.
• Seek Professional Inspection. Invite a qualified roofing contractor to inspect your roof. They can assess the extent of the damage, determine the necessary repairs, and provide you with a detailed estimate.
