After a storm, I'd start by looking for tiles that have slipped, cracked or gone missing on the roof and along the ridge. Then check the flashing hasn't come loose or gone.
Bits of broken slate or tile on the ground are a sign the roof has been damaged. Keep away from walls, buildings and trees until you're sure they're safe, as a storm can weaken them. If it's safe to get into the loft, have a look up there too for signs of leaks or damage to the roof covering.
If you find damage, contact your insurer as soon as you can and speak to them before arranging emergency repairs. Keep receipts for any work. Never agree to roof work on the doorstep. Take your time, get several quotes and be wary of anyone putting pressure on you.
If you've found slipped tiles or signs of a leak in the loft, give me a ring at Stratford Roofing. I'll come and check it over properly, and there's more on our Roof Repairs page.
