Slipped and missing tiles, stripped ridge and lifted verge after a blow off The Wash.
Straight answers to the questions that usually come before a storm damage repair job.
Tiles slip when whatever was holding them has failed: a snapped nib on a clay pantile, a rusted nail, a rotten batten or a mortar bed at the verge or ridge that has washed out. Wind off The Wash finds the weak ones first, which is why it happens in the same few weeks each winter. Re-fixing the slipped tile is the repair; working out why it slipped is what stops the next one.

Larger damage, such as a stripped ridge or a lifted verge, gets a tarpaulin first and a repair inside the week. Photograph everything before we touch it, because your insurer will want to see it.
