    Depends on the proximate cause.

    If the roof is leaking because its old and needs to be maintained/replaced then no, the most you can hope for is cover for any damage inside the property, like decorating.

    If the roof has been damaged by a one off storm event then the insurance may cover the damage but not the entire roof.

    Hope this helps.
