When it comes to potential storm damage, there are some things to remember to keep yourself safe:
When it is safe, go outside and have a good look at your roof, walking around the whole property. For GRP flat roofs, try and inspect the roof from a window.

If you plan to make an insurance claim, you should document any damage by taking photos. It can also be beneficial to keep a record of weather conditions, such as weather reports from the date of the storm.
