Storm-damaged roof repair
Assessment and repair after high winds, heavy rain, hail and falling debris across York and Yorkshire.
Make the roof safe and limit further damage.
Wind can lift tiles, slates, ridges, flashings and flat-roof coverings without leaving an obvious opening from ground level. We inspect the exposed areas, identify loose materials and explain the immediate and permanent work required.

Ground-level assessment of unsafe defects
What to check after a storm
From a safe position, look for displaced coverings, loose guttering, debris on the ground and new water marks inside. Check loft spaces only when they are safely accessible and do not walk on a damaged roof.
Temporary and permanent repairs
An urgent visit may focus on making the area safe and reducing water entry. Once conditions allow, we can complete the specified repair, replace damaged materials and check vulnerable adjoining details.
Information for an insurance claim
Photographs and a clear written quotation can help you document the damage. Your insurer decides what is covered, so contact them promptly and follow any instructions they provide before authorising non-emergency work.
Common questions.
Should I put a tarpaulin on a storm-damaged roof?+
Only if it can be done safely by a competent person. Do not climb onto a wet, loose or wind-damaged roof.
Can one missing tile cause a leak?+
Yes. Exposure depends on the underlay, wind direction and where the tile has moved, so a missing covering should be checked promptly.
Do you offer emergency storm-damage help?+
Yes. JDL Roofing has a 24/7 emergency number for urgent roof defects across the service area.
