Insurance Claims

We act for loss adjusters and domestic clients issuing reports and specifying remedial works for insurance claims. We commonly become involved with fire damaged properties, flood and subsidence claims. For domestic clients we can undertake investigations and prepare reports for use in negotiating with insurance companies and loss adjusters. We undertake to examine insurance documents and previous reports, using our own consultants who are experts in the field of insurance.

We have extensive experience in dealing with subsidence claims where initially we prepare a detailed report on damage which is often followed up by a desk study, study of geological maps and trial hole or borehole soil investigation. Following this the structure is either monitored to determine whether movement is progressive or if it is already clear that underpinning is necessary then we carry out a detailed design and specification for the underpinning works. We would normally go to tender and supervise the works on site as well, reporting to insurers and certifying works on completion.
