Storm Damage & Roof Repairs

Storm damage and insurance work, handled end to end

Named storms hit Yorkshire harder year on year. Lifted ridges, slipped slates, water ingress through failed flashing. We respond same week, document the damage in photos and video for your loss adjuster, and write a scope of works your insurer will accept. We handle the conversation with the insurer so you don't have to.

What we cover

• Storm-lifted ridge tiles. Re-bedded with proper dry-fix systems so the next gale doesn't lift them again.
• Slipped or missing tiles and slates. Refixed with proper tile clips and slate hooks. Full colour and material match against the rest of the roof.
• Active leaks and water ingress. Same-week tarping to stop the damage spreading while we plan the proper fix.
• Lead flashing renewal. Code 5 lead step flashings, aprons at abutments, lead-lined valleys. Done right, lead lasts 80 years.
• Leak chases. The leak inside is often feet away from where the water actually gets in. We trace it with smoke or water test where needed.
• Insurance paperwork. Detailed scope, photos, and material specifications written for your insurer's adjuster. We have handled hundreds of claims.
• Chimney repointing and pot replacement. Spalled brickwork repointed in lime mortar on older properties; new pots and cowls fitted on the same scaffold.

Why owners pick us for storm and insurance work

Five-star reputation across Google rated and 10/10 on Checkatrade. MyBuilder Verified with warranty on every install. We are Yorkshire's highest-rated roofer. When the insurer asks who is doing the work, our paperwork lands clean.

What waiting costs you

Most leaks do not sit still. Water that comes through a slipped tile this autumn typically reaches the plasterboard in two to four storms, the ceiling stain shows up over the next month, and the bedroom carpet beneath is the third thing to go. Catching it at the slipped-tile stage usually costs under £300. Catching it at the bedroom-ceiling stage adds plaster, decorating, and a contents claim if it has wrecked the furniture below.

Common questions

How quickly can you get to a leak?

Same-day callback on active leaks, on site within 48 hours. We can tarp the affected area to stop further damage while we plan the proper repair.

Will my insurance cover storm damage?

Most home insurance policies cover named-storm damage. We document everything (photos, video, written scope) for your loss adjuster. The clearer the paperwork, the smoother the claim.

Can you do a temporary fix and come back for the full repair?

Yes. Tarping or temporary patch first to stop the water, scaffold and full repair scheduled within the week.

Do you handle the insurance claim paperwork?

We write the scope of works your insurer will accept and speak to the adjuster direct. We have handled hundreds of claims and know what they need to see.

What if the leak shows up in a different spot than where the water gets in?

Common. Water tracks along rafters or under battens before it stains a ceiling. We trace it with a smoke test or controlled water test where needed, so we fix the actual entry point not just the symptom.
