Insurance Reinstatement Works

Unfortunately it is a fact of life that damage occurs to properties. We are able to assist with insurance claims when damage has occurred due to fire, flood, subsidence, or any other insured risk.

Fire damage

Our services would include the following:

  • Attending on site, at short notice if required, to inspect damage and arrange for any urgent emergency work, liasing with the insurance company's loss adjuster as appropriate.
  • Agreeing the scope of remedial works with the insurance company's loss adjuster and preparing a suitable specification.
  • Tendering the work to agreed contractors, reporting these tenders to the insured and the loss adjuster, and administering a building contract for the remedial works.
  • Where the claim relates to movement in a property, an investigation into this movement is usually required before approval is given to any repair works. This involves monitoring any cracks or other visible damage over a period of time, often a minimum of one year, and carrying out a general investigation at the property including exposing existing foundations, testing drains, examining the subsoil and the like. We are able to arrange for these investigations in conjunction with the appointed loss adjuster.
