Storm Damage Roof Repairs cover the work after hail, strong wind or a fallen branch: making the roof watertight, then fixing broken tiles, dented or lifted sheets and damaged trusses. Highveld hail and coastal gales hit many homes at once, so getting prices early helps. One request reaches local roofers who can quote.

Get Roofing QuotesCommon Storm Damage
- Broken or cracked tiles. Hail shatters concrete and clay tiles, leaving gaps for the next downpour.
- Dented or lifted sheets. IBR and corrugated sheets dent, and loose fixings let wind lift them.
- Displaced ridge capping. Wind and impact can loosen ridge tiles and their mortar.
- Damaged trusses. Fallen trees or heavy debris can crack timbers.
- Blocked or torn gutters. Hail and leaves pile up and gutters pull loose.
What to Do First
- Stay safe. Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof. Keep clear of sagging ceilings.
- Take photos. Record damage inside and outside before anything is moved, useful for an insurance claim.
- Contain water. Move valuables and catch drips where you can.
- Get it covered. Temporary tarping stops further damage until the full repair. See emergency roof repairs if water is coming in now.
What the Repair Includes
- Assessment. A roofer checks the covering, fixings, flashings and structure, and can list the damage for your insurer.
- Make safe. Tarping, debris removal and securing loose sheets.
- Repairs. Replacing tiles, sheets, ridge capping and damaged trusses.
- Inside damage. Wet ceilings and insulation may need replacing once the roof is sealed.
Repair or Replace?
Scattered broken tiles are usually repaired. If hail has damaged most of a large roof, or old tiles keep breaking as roofers walk on them, a roof replacement may make more sense.

Get Roofing QuotesWhat Affects the Price
- Extent of damage. A few tiles is a small job, while a whole slope or roof is priced very differently.
- Urgency. After-hours, weekend and public holiday work carries surcharges.
- Structural damage. Cracked trusses or rafters add significantly to the cost.
- Matching materials. Older tile profiles can be hard to source, which affects price and options.
How Getting Quotes Works
- Request. Tell us the work, your area and how to reach you. Photos help.
- Match. Your request goes to local roofing contractors suited to the job, with your permission.
- Quote. Contractors contact you, inspect if needed and give a written price.
- Compare. Check scope, materials, warranty and payment terms side by side, then hire one or nobody.
Storm Damage Roof Repairs FAQs
Will my insurance cover storm damage?
Many household policies cover sudden storm damage, but not wear and tear. Check your policy and report the claim before major repairs where you can.
Can I get a quote to submit to my insurer?
Yes. Ask contractors for an itemised quote with photos, which most insurers want to see.
Why is everyone booked after a hailstorm?
Hail damages many roofs in one area at once. Sending your request early helps you get prices sooner.
Is a temporary tarp enough for a few weeks?
It can hold for a short period if fixed properly, but wind can lift it, so it should be checked after each storm.
