Storm Damage Emergency Service in Detail

Fast securing before further damage occurs

Whether it’s a loosened cladding strip, loose sheet metal, or a fallen tree on the roof: in the event of acute storm damage, I secure the damaged area at short notice via rope access to avert danger to people and further damage to the building fabric. Permanent repair is then carried out afterwards in cooperation with a trade contractor.

Provisional emergency measures do not replace a proper, permanent repair, which should be carried out as soon as possible afterwards.

Cladding strip on the facade

After a storm or strong wind, cladding strips on a facade sometimes come loose. Rather than just cleaning, I fix such damage directly on site via rope access – here, a loose facade strip that was properly re-riveted.

Loose sheet metal on an industrial facade

Larger industrial facades are not immune to storm damage either: here, a metal cladding panel had come loose to the point where there was a risk of falling parts. The cladding was re-screwed and provisionally secured until a permanent repair can be carried out.

Fallen tree on the roof

A fallen tree had punched a hole in the roof covering and damaged the gutter on this building. The affected areas were exposed and replaced with new sheet metal, so the roof and gutter are watertight again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Good to know

What happens in the event of acute storm damage?

In the event of acute danger to people or the building, I carry out a provisional emergency securing to immediately reduce the risk. The proper, permanent repair is then carried out afterwards in cooperation with a trade contractor.

How quickly are you available in an emergency?

Being based locally in Schwabach and Middle Franconia usually means short response times – it's best to call briefly, and we'll see together how quickly it can happen.

Does the emergency securing replace the permanent repair?

No. The emergency securing reduces the acute danger but does not replace a proper, permanent repair, which should be carried out as soon as possible afterwards.

What counts as acute storm damage?

For example, loosened cladding or sheet metal, damaged gutters, or a fallen tree on the roof – in other words, anything that poses an immediate danger to people or further damage to the building fabric.

Do you also handle damage documentation for insurance purposes?

Photo documentation of the damaged area is possible as part of the callout and can be used for reporting to the insurance company.
