Common roof emergencies in Horley

• Ridge tiles lifting on interwar semis, where the original mortar bedding has weakened
• Concrete interlocking tiles slipping at the verges of postwar houses
• Flat roofs on garages, porches and rear extensions splitting or lifting at the edges
• Gutters overflowing in heavy rain, especially on low lying streets near the Mole
• Branches coming down on roofs from mature trees along the older roads

Open ground to the south and west of the town, towards the airport and Hookwood, lets strong winds build up, so roofs on the edges of Horley often see damage first after a storm.

What to do straight away

1. Keep everyone out of rooms with a bulging or dripping ceiling.
2. Catch the water and move belongings and electrics away.
3. Switch off any circuit where water is near fittings, if it is safe to do so.
4. Stay clear of the area under loose tiles or gutters.
5. Take photographs from the ground and inside.

Please do not go up a ladder in wind or rain.
