What Type Of Damage Can You Claim For?

Some incidents that you are likely to be able to make a claim for after a storm has damaged your property include:

• Structural damage due to the different weather hazards of a storm
• Damaged roof/tiles
• Property damage due to fallen trees and other debris
• Water damage

Checking Your Policy Documents

If you are unsure of how to handle the effects of storm damage or would like to know where you stand before a storm is due to hit, check your policy documents. Some key things to look out for on your policy documents are how your home insurer treats:

• Fences, walls and gates
• Sheds and other outbuildings
• Incomplete extensions
• Aerials
• Property in the garden, such as garden furniture
• Falling trees
• The difference between contents and structural damage

These checks may seem like a chore, but it is better to know the details of your policy and not be caught out in the event that you do need to make a claim.
