INSURANCE CLAIMS

If you suspect that your building has a structural problem which you believe may lead to an insurance claim, we can help you with both the assessment of the matter and the management of any remedial works.

We have extensive experience in dealing with all major types of buildings-related claims:

subsidence
fire
flood / storm
Vehicle impact
land-slip

Whilst we often act for insurance loss adjusters directly, we can also act on behalf of policyholders to represent their interests during the course of a claim. We operate an emergency call-out service to provide assistance in situations where there may be safety concerns regarding a damaged structure. We also have close working relationships with a number of contractors, on whom we can call if urgent works are required to make safe or stabilise a problem.

Our approach will always be tailored to meet the specific needs of the claim but our typical process is as follows:

Initial inspection and reporting.
Arranging and supervising site investigations such as trial excavations and drains testing. We have close working relationships with a range of contractors who assist us with these investigations and with specialist laboratories for the testing and identification of soil and root samples and any other specialist services necessary
Crack monitoring, analysis and reporting as required
Design, specification and tendering of the remedial works required
Project management of works on site and certification of contractors accounts
