What to do after storm damage

Make the property safe and capture useful evidence before arranging work.

What to do

  1. Stay away from loose materials and exposed electrics.
  2. Photograph damage from a safe position and check insurance terms.
  3. Ask whether a temporary measure and a permanent repair should be quoted separately.

Put it into your brief

Prioritise safety, keep clear of loose material and record damage from a safe place. Note when the storm occurred, where water entered and any immediate protective work already arranged.

Make the comparison useful

Separate emergency protection from the permanent repair. Ask what can be confirmed now, what needs a closer inspection and whether photographs and invoices are available for an insurer.
