HOUSEHOLD STORM DAMAGE

Storms and the resultant damage can have a significant impact on your home, both short and long term, if not dealt with correctly. You may well need some alternative accommodation if the damage affects the structural integrity of your property. This alone is stressful and time-consuming without trying to attempt to deal with your Insurance Company. Can you claim on house insurance for storm damage?, is a question we are often asked, and although each situation is different we will prepare and present your claim promptly and professionally to help avoid repudiation. In short Oakleafe can take all this stress away by making sure everything is dealt with correctly first time.. We will get you in alternative accommodation and prepare and present your claim to your Insurance Company straight away. Chartered Surveyors and Structural Engineers will scope the damage and oversee repairs to ensure you receive your full entitlement and your property can be returned to pre-loss condition.

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

WHEN I MAKE A CLAIM

From the inception of a claim, call handlers at the insurance company will attempt to convince you against making a claim. Storm damage claims are particularly difficult and we use a whole range of resources to substantiate your claim. Usually when you try to register a claim, your Insurance Company will appoint a Loss Adjuster to look after their interests and minimise the pay-out they may be liable for. They will scrutinise your policy to check you have complied with its conditions, and that you have adequate sums insured. If you are under-insured, then they will attempt to significantly reduce the pay-out. These Loss Adjusters are paid for and employed by insurers and are not independent. You need someone on your side. Would you go to court without a lawyer? Then why take on an Insurance Company?
