A storn has damaged a house and caused roof tiles to become dislodged.

Making a claim for storm damage

Storms in the UK seem to be becoming more regular and severe. Each year damage caused by storms lead to hundreds of millions of pounds worth of damage and a large cost to the insurance industry.

Storm damage to buildings can take many forms such as tiles or slates coming off a roof, rain water flooding into a property through damaged roofs and fallen trees crashing into buildings causing untold damage.

With the increasing amount of storms and the damage they cause, it is more important than ever to have a qualified professional, such as Property Claims Loss Assessors, acting on your behalf to represent you through the claim process.

Get Support From PCLA

In some instances, damage from storms is not noted until a long time after the storm occurs when tiles or slates have been dislodged. It can take a heavy rainfall after a storm and water coming into a property to realise that a property is storm damaged.

At Property Claims Loss Assessors we see many cases where storm damage cases have been turned down by an insurance company because the policyholder does not know the date on which the damage to the roof occurred. An insurance company will typically check weather records for the date mentioned by the policyholder to see the conditions on that day and see if a storm was present in the area.

Property Claims Loss Assessors record all storm dates and have access to records to check that the date the damage occurred to the property correlates to one of these dates.

PCLA take the stress out of storm damage insurance claims.

Declan and his team were/are lovely people to deal with. From the moment he arrived at our address there was an air of confidence about him that put us at ease straight away. He explained everything in detail so that we knew exactly what was going to happen, and although proceedings after that took a little longer than I expected, it was because he was fighting our case and eventually achieved a result that everyone is happy with. If ever we are unfortunate enough to have another emergency involving our house insurance, his will be the first number I will call.

FAQs and common questions

The process of settling an insurance claim for damaged property can be complicated and frustrating. You can appoint a loss assessor to represent you (the policy holder). Loss Assessors speak to the insurance company on your behalf and will manage your insurance claim. A Loss Assessor uses their expertise and specialist knowledge to get you the best possible settlement figure.

Making an insurance claim is not always straightforward. A Loss Assessor will know what you can claim for and how to make sure you get your full entitlement. PCLA will provide advice and support to ensure you are fully aware of the claims process. It is our job to remove the stress and inconvenience of making a household insurance claim. We are Building surveyors and Certified insurance practitioners who will assess the damage to your property and draw up a schedule of loss. We work on your behalf, so that nothing is forgotten or overlooked. With PCLA working for you, we will ensure you get a fair settlement.

When you make a claim under your household insurance policy, the insurance company will appoint a loss adjuster. PCLA will act as your loss assessor and negotiate your claim on your behalf, meaning you don’t have to deal with the insurance company or their loss adjuster. As an independent company with over 20 years experience, we know how to make sure our clients get their full entitlement. Remember, we work for you.

At PCLA we believe in being upfront about our costs. Our initial survey is free. Even if our survey finds that it’s not actually a claim, there’s still no charge to you. If you appoint PCLA to manage your claim, we work on a ‘no win no fee’ basis. Once your claim is settled our professional fee of 10% plus VAT will be included in your settlement cheque.

We aim to meet clients on the next available working day. However, we try to accommodate client needs as best as we can. Call us today on 028 9581 5318 to arrange a time that suits you.
