Our fees are fully transparent. For Loss Assessor support, we charge 10% of your final insurance settlement, plus VAT—and you only pay if your claim succeeds. Leak detection surveys typically cost between £350 and £750, depending on property size and leak location.
Yes, if your insurance policy includes Trace and Access cover. Most Downpatrick property policies do. We’ll handle all paperwork so you can reclaim the leak detection cost—making the process hassle-free.
You can manage the claim alone, but remember—the Loss Adjuster sent by your insurer works for them, not for you. We represent your interests, handle all documentation, and negotiate directly with insurers to secure the maximum payout. If you’re unsure, call us for a free review of your situation.
We offer rapid, local response—typically same-day or next-day appointments—so your property damage or leak is addressed quickly and your claim moves forward without delay.
We begin by assessing damage and detecting any leaks using non-invasive technology. Our Loss Assessor then prepares documents, submits your claim, and negotiates directly with your insurer, keeping you updated at every step.
If your insurance company rejects your claim or makes a low offer, we challenge their decision, provide extra evidence, and negotiate on your behalf. Having a local expert gives you a stronger position and better results.
No. Our specialists use advanced, non-invasive methods like thermal imaging and acoustic testing—no tearing up floors or walls. Most leaks are located quickly, using equipment designed to protect your property.

We’ll find the leak, document the damage, and manage the claim — so you can focus on getting back to normal.
