La nostra casa ha appena 2 anni e il tetto è stato strappato. Abbiamo scoperto che non c’è praticamente alcun supporto là fuori (tranne dai nostri gentili vicini). Le compagnie assicurative non contabilizzabili e ti lasciano in attesa per ore, Homebond non contattabile, il costruttore non si assumerà la responsabilità, i costruttori di tetti originali non contabilizzabili, il roofer indipendente dice che chiamerà ma non si presenta perché la sua giornata è "mentale". Le forniture di coperture sono apparentemente non disponibili. Nel frattempo tu e la tua moglie incinta rimanete preoccupate e stressate nel nuovo "casa dei sogni" Hai appena speso i tuoi risparmi sulla vita.

Find the big bad wolf
Gaffer tape.
Was the whole roof torn off or just some tiles? Sorry for your troubles buddy I can imagine the stress but insurance should sort it.
Tarp over the roof.
Not a lot you can actually do – try to minimise water damage by covering things – tape as suggested but with another storm around the corner this may not be advisable. Take pictures, contact insurance – roofers are going to be busy for a while 🙁
Look for the big bad wolf .. . But seriously sorry this happened to you hope the damage wasn’t 2 severe and that your insurance may cover it
Try and find a good roofer I think , start getting quotes then you can contact insurance
Ask around the neighbors, a lot if people will have a few spare tiles, if you’re in an estate they’ll all be the same. A bunch of neighbors here replaced several tiles on 3 houses yesterday evening. Just need a couple ladders and someone familiar with working at height! The installation process is relatively simple. Risks apply.
Of course if your whole roof was actually blown off then all you can do is document everything for the insurance company and enlist a loss adjuster.
Blow it back on
Some companies have an emergency help line. Zurich do. It helps mitigate the damage. Councils have a dangerous building lune.
Keep trying on the home insurance – they will cover it. When you’re getting quotes, only get people who you have word of mouth recommendations for if possible. There are cowboys out there and they are absolute cunts.
Had some storm damage to our roof last year so I know whereof I speak on this.
Step 1 contact home insurance
Step 2 get roof repaired
Step 3 move on from this tragedy
Ah bollox I’m only after copping that the broken plant pot I cleaned up earlier was probably a slate
Homebond wont cover this by the way. The insurance from your builder is structural issues, and the roof is not structural. I found this out last storm when 7 tiles blew off the roof. Two more this time.
I had a leak last year and contracted a roofer. My roof was only 4 years old. He told me the builder should stand over his work and that he didn’t want to touch it because he would be liable if anything went wrong.
I rang the builder and he fixed it without charging me.
Good luck.
Some of these new builds are held together with spit and chewing gum.
