The Hidden Stress of Flood Claims (and How We Take the Burden Off You)
Flood damage is overwhelming. One leak can force you out of your kitchen, ruin your flooring, or leave damp patches that threaten your family’s health. Then comes the claims process: confusing forms, endless back-and-forth with the insurer, and settlement offers that don’t reflect the real cost of repairs. Many Edinburgh homeowners end up frustrated, out of pocket, and stuck waiting for answers.
We believe you shouldn’t have to fight alone. As independent loss assessors, we handle your home insurance claim from start to finish—managing the paperwork, collecting evidence, dealing directly with your insurer (Aviva, Direct Line, Zurich, AXA, and more), and pushing for the full amount you deserve.

Real Results: An Edinburgh Family Gets Their Home Back After a Flood
Last autumn, heavy rain flooded a family’s ground-floor flat in Morningside, soaking floors, damaging kitchen units, and leaving a persistent musty smell. The insurer’s first offer—just £6,500—wouldn’t cover drying, let alone repairs or new flooring.
The family called PCLA. We provided a full damage assessment, brought in independent moisture experts, and presented a clear claim to the insurer.
In under a month, the settlement increased to £18,200—covering all repairs and temporary accommodation. The family moved back with everything fixed, and no lingering worries.
- Final settlement: £18,200;
- Original insurer offer: £6,500;
- Time to settlement: 10 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my Edinburgh home insurance policy cover all my flood damage?
Most policies do cover flood events, burst pipes, and water leaks—but every policy is different. We’ll review your documents, explain what’s included, and make sure nothing gets missed.
How quickly can you visit my property?
We aim to carry out property surveys within 48 hours—so you’re never left waiting during an emergency.
Can you help if my insurer has already made a decision?
Yes—we regularly help clients who’ve already had an offer, a rejection, or even a part payment. It’s often possible to reopen or improve your settlement.
What if the insurer’s loss adjuster says the damage is “wear and tear”?
We know how to challenge unfair decisions. Our evidence and reports make sure legitimate flood damage is recognised and paid for.
Is your service really no win, no fee?
Absolutely. If we can’t improve your outcome, you pay nothing. Our fee is only due if you receive a settlement you’re happy with.
Do you only work with certain insurers or properties?
No—we help all Edinburgh homeowners, landlords, and tenants, and we work with every major UK insurer.
How do I get started?
