Property Checks After Strong Winds and Storms

A safe visual checklist after severe weather.

Quick answer

After a storm, check from ground level for displaced roof materials, damaged gutters, loose fencing, water ingress and fallen debris.

Understanding the issue

After a storm, check from ground level for displaced roof materials, damaged gutters, loose fencing, water ingress and fallen debris.

What to check

Do not climb onto roofs or approach unstable structures. Photograph visible damage safely for records and insurance purposes where relevant.

When to get advice

Water entering near electrics, dangerous loose materials or structural movement should be treated as urgent.

Safety first

This is general information, not a substitute for inspecting your property. Do not work on gas equipment or live electrical parts unless appropriately qualified. If there is immediate danger, call 999. If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, leave the affected area and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from a safe location. Do not operate electrical switches or use naked flames.
