Have got to pay claim on my insurance for flat roof damage (like wet cardboard :)

I believe so. It is a cost that is directly attributable to your business.

I paid out of my pocket for a couple of tiles I broke on a roof a couple of years and put the cost through the books, the account didnt say anything about them and put them through.

As long as it's a legit business expense, keep details of the claim in your files just in case.

I did offset my excess fee against tax when there was a claim against me in a car accident some years ago.  It was my van and I only use 85% of that for business so I offset £85 of the £100.  I ran it by my accountant and he was OK with it.
