Can you claim roof repair on insurance?
Part of your roof can be covered by insurance, but it is rare to get full coverage.
Full coverage is only given in the event that the roof was previously in very good condition before it became damaged.
The cause of damage must also be included in the insurance policy to give full coverage.
