Has Storm Hector Damaged Your Garage Roof?

The full force of storm Hector hit Scotland on 14th June 2018 with gusts of wind reaching up to 100mph in exposed areas. Several roads and rail routes were blocked by fallen branches and worse still, a woman in Edinburgh was left hurt by a loose slate that had been blown from a tenement roof. High winds are extremely dangerous which is why it is always worth taking the time to check that your garage roof is securely fasten down and is not rattling around. If screws have come loose or are missing, the wind can get beneath loose panels and quickly rip them off turning them into lethal flying objects.

Summer is usually the ideal time to give your garage a good check both inside and out. Then if you decide that the garage roof needs repaired or replaced you can take your time and choose the best garage roofing company for the job. You can check out their website and read their customer reviews and testimonials. If it is left until autumn or winter when wet, stormy weather hits and you have a badly leaking garage roof this can force you into making rash decisions just to get the job done quickly. Instead of taking time and doing some proper research you end up with the first garage roofing contractor that answers your call. This can mean much higher prices and poor workmanship.

If your garage has been damaged by the storm Hector, it is also worth remembering that most people can claim for repairs under their home insurance. It is worth contacting your insurance company to check the details of your policy.
