Alan suggests getting in professional help if trees have fallen or damaged the garden. Tidy lawns and pick up any hefty bits of debris. However, if the lawn is very damp and mushy under foot, leave it to dry out first. It is advisable to clear fallen leaves from the gutters in case of more rain. Replace any broken glass in greenhouses before the wind gets underneath and causes further damage.
Most insurance policies cover greenhouses and sheds.
However, most do not cover damage to fences, hedges or garden gates. If a neighbour's tree causes any damage to your property, do not assume that they are responsible, you may have to claim on your own insurance.
