The Practice has extensive experience in dealing with clients in connection with insurance claims. This includes subsidence, fire, storm and flood/water damage cases.

We specialise in providing this service to clients which includes assessing insurance policy documents and advising the client of any potential claim. Liaising with the client's insurance company/loss adjuster in agreeing the extent of works required. Preparing Specifications of Work to include drawings as required, obtaining tenders, monitoring the work on site.

These services have been carried out to individual buildings or several on housing estates for both Housing Associations, Trusts and Local Authorities. Involvement and services also include day to day maintenance and repair work.
