A storm-damaged roof in Limerick is usually a claim on your home buildings insurance, as long as the damage was sudden and not down to wear. Photograph it, get it made safe, keep your receipts and ring your insurer. We give you the report insurers ask for and survey Limerick city and county for free.
This guide is for Limerick homeowners. In other areas, see the general storm damage and insurance guide.
In most cases, yes, if the damage was sudden and the policy includes buildings cover. Typical Limerick storm claims are lifted ridge tiles, slipped slates, flashing torn away and gutters pulled loose. Allianz Ireland, for example, describes its storm cover as wind of more than 47 knots (87 km/h). Other insurers word it differently, so your policy schedule is the only place to confirm yours.
The insurer's surveyor will want to know one thing: did the storm cause this, or was it already on its way? That is why the condition of the roof before the storm matters, and why photographs taken before anything is moved are the strongest evidence you can have. Water is the other worry. Where a roof lets rain in, the damage soon moves from the roof to the ceilings, the insulation and the walls below.
It is not only homes. At a commercial site in Limerick, a leaking roof and blocked gutters were filmed as we found them, so the condition was on the record before any work began.
