Well said, good house maintenance wouldn't stop this. Even if you dont park it on your drive whats to stop a tree or even a wheelie bin I have seen loads of them blowing around today!
How would you go about fixing the car roof?

Depends how bad the jobbo was if you need to re-bed or not. If it's just flaking, grinding the face off and repointing is more than sufficient.
Dry ridge doesn't always look good on a house, depending on the style.

It's a act of God that's why. |
It's not, it's a Storm event. Home insurance will typically only cover the home and any outbuildings, depending on your level of cover which is why you'll need to go through your car insurance.
It's not the Housing Association's fault either that the ridge blew off, it's more than likely down to high winds. Speak to them and see what they say, but I doubt they'll be able to help you as the car isn't related to your agreement with them.

The housing association/LA buildings insurance will cover the claim.
What if the vehicle struck was not related in any way to the property. The owner of that vehicle would have a legitimate claim from the property owner.
People seem to be getting confused between buildings insurance which the landlord has to have, and contents insurance which the tenant has. Some people must have very poor building insurance providers if they will not pay out for damage caused by storms.

best pull the roof lining down and try beat it back up. I had to do that with mine after some (insert profanities here) ran across my roof. Its still not perfect but it doesn't warrant filling and respraying. I had a slate some off a while ago, they are big f****rs and it went straight through the decking and didn't even break.

its never good practice tp re point ever! main reason that its only a few mm thick, and as soon as the frost comes along it cracks!

If you are only re-pointing a few mm then its you that's doing it wrong.

If the jobbo has fell out then more than likely it will be a big-ish lump and you can just fill it in. I've yet to have one fall out.
Did recently subcontract to some company as we were busy, god they made a proper bollox, sat the ridges on lats so they didn't use as much gobbo. Had to rebed them all, as well as the first few on the hips.
