What We Do — And How It Helps You

We manage the fire damage insurance claim in full, so you can focus on what matters: rebuilding and recovery.

Fire Damage Claims Management

We handle everything from your initial notification to insurer through to claim resolution. We ensure all losses — flames, smoke, structural — are properly documented, inspected, and valued.

Smoke and Contents Damage

We assess damage to soft furnishings, personal belongings, electronics, and more. Smoke and soot can spread far beyond visible fire damage; we make sure nothing important is missed.

Fire Clean-Up and Restoration Support

We coordinate clean-up and restoration works with trusted local contractors. From debris removal to rebuilding, we help get your home safe and habitable again.

Water Damage Caused by Firefighting

Hoses, sprinkler systems or flood suppression efforts often lead to water damage. Even if not immediately visible, water can affect structure, flooring, electrics. We include this damage in your claim.

Temporary Accommodation & Disruption Cover

If your home is uninhabitable or unsafe, many policies entitle you to temporary living costs, meals, transport and more. We ensure you get what you’re owed without extra stress.

Ongoing Communication and Representation

We liaise with adjusters, surveyors, contractors — while keeping you in the loop every step of the way. You get clear status updates, no jargon, no surprises.

Why You’re Better Off with a Loss Assessor

If you try to handle a fire damage insurance claim alone, insurers’ loss adjusters will look out for their own interests, not yours. With a qualified, independent loss assessor like PCLA:

  • We document all losses — including structural, smoke, soot, water damage — so nothing is overlooked.
  • We prepare detailed, evidence-backed reports and negotiate directly with your insurer.
  • We work under no win/no fee, so you only pay if we increase your payout.

FAQs and common questions

Yes — we can take over at any stage. We review what’s been done, what evidence was used, and negotiate further where possible.

Most domestic fires are. We specialise in accidental fire claims, and know how to prove them under your policy.

Almost always. Our approach finds hidden damage, unclaimed items, and policy entitlements many homeowners miss.

No upfront cost. We work on a no-win-no-fee basis. Our fee is a portion of what we help recover — so we only benefit when you do.

We can help you understand shared damage or liability issues. We’ll guide you through how your claim interacts with neighbours’ damage and whether separate or joint claims apply.
