We come and look at the damage, work out what caused it and talk you through how a claim would work, including our fee. There's no pressure to decide on the day. If you want us to go ahead, you sign a letter of authority so we can deal with your insurer for you.

We take over with your insurer
We tell your insurer we're acting for you. They will usually send a loss adjuster, who works for them, to look at the damage. We deal with the adjuster on your behalf and join the site meeting, so you're not facing it on your own.

We prepare your schedule of works
We put together a detailed schedule of works: every repair your home needs to get it back to how it was before the damage, with costs. Where your policy covers it, this includes trace and access, the cost of finding a leak and opening up walls or floors to reach it. Along with photos and reports, this is the evidence your claim is built on. We then send it to your insurer.

We negotiate your settlement
We go through your insurer's response line by line. If anything has been missed or undervalued, we challenge it on your behalf. We keep you updated throughout, and nothing is agreed without your say so.

Your settlement is paid to you
Once the settlement is agreed, your insurer pays it directly to you, less any excess on your policy. Our fee is then due, exactly as we agreed at the start. That completes our loss assessing service.
After your claim
Need the repairs done? Our sister company, Renova Rebuild Ltd, can carry out building and reinstatement work under a separate agreement with you. You are not required to use Renova Rebuild in order to use our loss assessing service.
