Navigating Insurance After a Fire

The period after a fire is fast moving and complex. There is urgent work to make the property safe and to prevent further loss while also collecting the evidence that will underpin your claim. Policies are often technical and the language used by insurers can be difficult to interpret when you are under pressure. We take ownership of the claim on your behalf and give you clear guidance on what to do first how to protect your position and how to present the strongest case for settlement. From smoke and heat damage to water damage from firefighting our role is to ensure nothing is missed and that every eligible cost is recorded.

The Evidence Insurers Expect

Insurers look for proof of cause and proof of loss. They will expect a full account of the event detailed schedules of damage and accurate costs for reinstatement. They may also appoint their own specialists to review the evidence and test the claim. Our approach is to present a complete and well structured file from the outset so that your case is easy to verify and difficult to dispute. This reduces delays and improves the quality of the final outcome.
