High winds have peeled off the aluminium roof of a block of flats in Tulse Hill, leaving it strewn across the pavement.

Firefighters were called to a partial roof collapse at a flat in Longford Walk in Tulse Hill yesterday morning (March 10).

West Norwood, Croydon and Clapham fire stations were called at 9.51am.

London Fire Brigade said the aluminium roof of a three-storey block of flats had peeled off in high winds and was in a precarious position.

They used a 32-meter ladder to work at height and clean up the area and make it safe.

A cordon was put into place while this work was carried out until they left at 11.23am.

There were no reports of any injuries.
