Storm Damage Roof Repairs Durham
Wind-lifted coverings, displaced ridges and storm leaks across Durham and County Durham — made safe to stop further water ingress, then inspected for a permanent repair.
Storm damage roof repairs in Durham
High winds across the Northeast find every weak point on a roof — lifting slates and tiles, displacing ridges, peeling back flat-roof coverings and tearing at flashings. The damage often shows first as a leak, or as pieces of roof on the ground, and the building is exposed until it is made safe.
We attend storm-damaged roofs across Durham and County Durham, make them safe where water is getting in, and set out a permanent repair once the roof has been inspected.
Signs of storm damage
Look for slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, ridge or hip tiles out of line, lifted or torn felt and membrane on flat roofs, and lead or flashings pulled away from chimneys and abutments. Inside, a fresh damp patch or active drip after a storm is a clear sign.
Debris in gutters, or tiles and fragments on the ground, are worth photographing — they help establish what happened and when.
Safe first steps, then make-safe work
Stay off the roof and keep clear of fallen material. Move valuables from beneath any leak, catch water where it is safe to do so, and isolate electrics if water is near them. Photograph what you can see safely from the ground.
Where the roof is open or leaking, the first job is make-safe work — temporary covering and containment to stop further water ingress and protect the building until a permanent repair can be carried out.
Inspection and permanent repair
Once the immediate risk is contained, the roof is inspected to establish the full extent of the damage, recorded with written notes and photographs. That record is useful for your own files and for an insurer if you are making a claim.
The permanent repair is then carried out on the correct materials and in suitable conditions. Where the damage is extensive, the larger work can be handled through Evenii with a full survey.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as storm damage to a roof?+
Wind-lifted or missing slates and tiles, displaced ridges and hips, torn or lifted flat-roof coverings, damaged flashings, and debris impact are all common after high winds. The first sign is often a leak, or pieces of roof in the garden or car park.
Should I report it to my insurer?+
Storm damage is frequently covered by buildings insurance, so it is worth checking your policy. Our written notes and photographs of what we find are useful supporting evidence, though we do not make any claim or guarantee about your cover — that is between you and your insurer.
Can you make the roof safe quickly after a storm?+
Where a roof is open or actively leaking after a storm, the priority is make-safe work to stop further water ingress and protect the building. The permanent repair follows once the roof has been inspected and the weather allows it to be done properly.
What should I do straight after storm damage?+
Keep clear of any fallen material and stay off the roof. Move valuables from under any leak and catch water safely. If electrics are affected, isolate the circuit. Photograph what you can see safely from the ground, then call 01388 335 061.
Do you cover Durham and County Durham?+
Yes — Durham and County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Spennymoor, Chester-le-Street, Consett and Darlington, from the Evenii base at Tow Law.
