Homeowners can claim insurance for storm damage, but coverage varies widely and excludes some common items.

Homeowners can claim compensation for storm damage through home, commercial, and motor insurance, though definitions of storm damage can vary. The Association of British Insurers defines a storm as hail causing damage to hard surfaces and glass. Fences are often excluded due to high risk. Insurers help with recovery, and electricity suppliers must restore power within 24 hours, extendable to 48 hours in severe cases. Compensation for power outages varies based on the number of reports made within 24 hours.
