Storm damage is one of the top insurance claims as we see severe weather events more often. The average storm damage claim can cost around Β£2,500 like roofing for tiles falling off due to high winds. Start preparing now as most claims peak in February.
Prevent costly damage with these tips from the NRLA & Total Landlord:
π Regular external inspection of the property, in daylight, to monitor loose roof tiles, guttering, downpipes and trees
π Once or twice a year, clear gutters and drains of debris like in late autumn
β In the winter, trim trees, inspect the roof and carry out repairs and check that windows and doors are watertight and secure
π· Properly secure fence panels as they are usually excluded from insurance policies
π Properly secure and close garden gates
π Regularly monitor the Met Office weather forecast to prepare when a storm is approaching
