Professional Storm Damage Repairs Kent
Storms can cause serious damage to roofs, particularly in exposed parts of Kent. High winds, heavy rain, and falling debris often result in slipped tiles, leaks, or structural problems. If your property has been affected, acting quickly is essential to prevent further issues.
Common Signs of Storm Damage
Storm damage can affect a roof in different ways depending on its type, condition, and age. Look out for the following issues after a storm:
- Missing or broken tiles – Strong winds can dislodge tiles, exposing the roof beneath.
- Leaks or damp patches – Water entering through cracks or gaps may cause interior staining.
- Debris on the roof – Branches, leaves, and other objects can damage tiles or block gutters.
- Sagging or uneven areas – These may indicate structural movement or internal damage.
- Noise in the loft – Whistling or rattling sounds can mean loose fixtures or broken fixings.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to arrange a roof inspection straight away.
What to Expect from a Storm Damage Repair
When we carry out storm damage repairs in Kent, we follow a clear and safe process to ensure your roof is restored properly:
Initial Inspection
We check the full roof area using ladders or drone surveys if required. We look for both visible damage and hidden issues like internal damp or loose flashing.
Emergency Cover
If water is entering the property, we’ll fit temporary protection like tarpaulins or roof membranes to prevent further damage until repairs can be carried out.
Repair Work
Once the roof is made safe, we carry out targeted repairs such as:
- Replacing broken or missing tiles
- Fixing or resealing lead flashing
- Clearing and repairing gutters
- Securing ridge tiles and hip joints
- Repairing flat roof membranes if torn or lifted
We use durable materials that match your existing roof, helping maintain both strength and appearance.
Clean-Up and Final Checks
We always clear up after ourselves and make sure your roof is left clean, safe, and watertight. You’ll also get full details of the work carried out.
