UK Homeowners Advised To Check Roofs After Floods

The Met Office has issued Yellow Alerts for a number of areas across the country to warn that localised flooding is predicted over the next couple of days; and a roofing company is advising all homeowners to check that their roofs are in good working order.

Strong winds and heavy rainfall are expected to sweep through the UK over the weekend and a yellow warning has been given to Warwickshire, West Midlands Conurbation, Worcestershire, Northamptonshire, Northern Ireland as well as North-east Scotland.

Motorists are being cautioned to take extra care on the roads as there is the possibility of a month’s average rainfall over a 24-48 hour period. Only last month gale force winds and heavy rain caused transport chaos across parts of the UK. Homes fared a little better with more than 100 properties flooding.
