Specialists in Insurance Claims and Subsidence
Dealing with insurers and loss adjusters can be daunting. We act as your professional advocate, handling everything from initial defect analysis to the final sign-off of repairs. We specialise in 'insurance perils,' including:
- Subsidence: Identifying root causes and managing structural remedies.
- Fire & Flood: Comprehensive reinstatement strategies to restore your property.
- Escape of Water: Detailed damage assessments for accurate insurance claims.
High-Tech Diagnostics for Modern and Heritage Homes
We believe in using the right tools for the job. Instead of relying on a pair of binoculars, we use pole camera and Wi-Fi technology to conduct detailed roof surveys. This allows us to identify defects with a level of precision that traditional methods simply cannot match.
Our experience extends deep into the history of East Anglia. We are highly practiced in the nuances of older and listed properties, ensuring that repairs are sympathetic, compliant, and built to last. We help you avoid 'bodge' repairs by analysing the cause of defects before recommending a remedy.
From Initial Survey to Project Completion
We don't just leave you with a report. We offer full project management and contract administration to see your repairs through to the end. Our process ensures you are protected from start to finish:
- Preparation: We create detailed work schedules and specifications.
- Tendering: We manage contractor selection to ensure you hire reliable professionals.
- Oversight: We provide full contract administration during the repair phase.
"Our mission is simple: to provide independent, expert advice that ensures your property is restored to its best possible state, avoiding unwanted bills and failed repairs."
