Residential Weather-Related Property Damage Checklist

This residential property checklist, aligned with Aviva Loss Prevention Standards, helps homeowners and property managers reduce weather-related damage. It guides regular inspections and maintenance of roofs, flashing, tiles and flat roofs, ensures gutters and downspouts are cleared, and checks chimneys, parapets and glazing for integrity and sealing. It covers securing aerials, solar panels and external fixtures, protecting doors and openings from wind and water ingress, and maintaining heating systems, water tanks and pipe lagging to prevent freezing. The checklist also prompts flood risk awareness, drainage upkeep, safe storage of outdoor items, emergency planning and keeping key contractor contacts to hand.
