Professional Storm Damage Repairs Canterbury
Living in Canterbury, you know that strong winds and heavy rainfall can strike suddenly. When a storm hits, your roof is often the first part of your property to take the damage. Slipped tiles, cracked flashing, water ingress, and blocked gutters are just some of the problems we see after bad weather. If you need storm damage repairs in Canterbury, it’s important to act quickly before issues spread and become more costly.
Below, we explain the most common problems caused by storms, how we carry out roof repairs, and why working with a local roofer ensures the job is done properly.
Common Roof Damage After Storms
Storms can cause visible and hidden damage. While a missing tile may be obvious, other problems like damp or internal leaks can take time to show. Common issues include:
Slipped or Broken Roof Tiles
Tiles often slip or break during high winds. This creates openings where rain can enter the roof structure, damaging the loft and ceilings below.
Torn Flat Roofs
On garages, dormers, or extensions, flat roofs may suffer from split felt, punctures, or pooling water. These problems can worsen quickly if left untreated.
Damaged Flashing and Leadwork
Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and roof edges can lift or crack during a storm. This allows water to leak into the roof at its weakest points.
Broken Gutters and Fascias
Heavy rain, fallen branches, or flying debris can damage gutters and fascias. When drainage is affected, rainwater can overflow and soak the brickwork.
Structural Roof Movement
In extreme weather, parts of the roof structure may shift or weaken, especially in older properties. This type of damage needs professional inspection straight away.
What To Do If Your Roof Is Damaged
If you think your roof has been damaged in a storm:
- Stay off the roof — it may be unsafe
- Check for watermarks, damp patches, or drips in your ceilings
- Look outside for fallen tiles or visible gaps
- Contact a local roofing company for a professional inspection
We provide 24-hour emergency callouts across Canterbury and surrounding villages. Our team will arrive quickly, make the roof safe, and carry out any urgent temporary repairs before starting full restoration.
