Storm damage: what to do first
Never climb a ladder or go onto the roof yourself, even once the rain stops. Keep away from any ceiling that bulges or drips through a light fitting.
Stay inside while the wind is still strong. Keep everyone away from the front and back of the house where tiles or bits of gutter could still fall.
Once it is calm, photograph the damage from the ground or through a window, then get in touch. When the roofer can come depends on their own diary and the weather.
Making it safe and watertight
A roofer can sheet the damaged area or refit loose tiles to keep the rain out until a full repair. Indoors, catch drips and keep people out of wet rooms. Never put a ladder up yourself. Published Barnsley prices are on the roof repair cost page.
What a roofer will do on arrival
They check how much is damaged and how to reach it safely, tell you what needs doing now and what can wait, and agree a price with you before starting.
When it is not an emergency
Water pouring in, tiles hanging loose over a path or a chimney that looks unstable need attention soon. A single slipped tile or a stain that has stopped growing can usually wait for a normal repair visit.
Questions people ask
Can a roofer come out tonight?
It depends on the roofer. Some take out-of-hours calls and some do not, and nobody works on a roof in high wind. Ring us and the roofer tells you what they can do.
Who pays for storm damage?
Buildings insurance often pays for sudden storm damage, but not for wear and tear or a roof in poor repair. Talk to your insurer and keep photos and the roofer's notes.
Is a tarp enough?
Only for a short while. A sheet fitted by a roofer keeps the rain out until the weather allows a proper repair, but it is not a fix.
