Loosened tiles that haven't slipped yet
Wind can loosen a tile's fixing without dislodging it completely, leaving it vulnerable to coming free in the next storm even though it looks fine now.
Cracked tiles with no visible gap
A tile can crack under wind pressure or impact from debris without falling out of place, meaning it still looks intact from below while letting water through.
Disturbed flashing
Wind can lift the edge of lead flashing around chimneys and valleys just enough to let water in, without it being visibly displaced.
Debris sitting in valleys and gutters
Branches and debris that land in roof valleys or gutters during a storm can cause blockages that lead to water pooling and eventually finding a way in, sometimes weeks later.
After any significant storm, it's worth a professional check even if nothing looks obviously wrong — get in touch with our emergency team for a proper assessment.
