After property damage, it’s easy to feel stressed and unsure what to do next.
When you make a claim, the insurer appoints a Loss Adjuster to act for them.
PCLA works on your behalf. Our job is to take away the burden of managing the claim on your own.
At PCLA, we handle claims for water, fire, oil, storm and structural damage and other insurance perils.
It’s our job to make sure your insurer pays what’s fair and that the settlement offer reflects the true cost of reinstatement.
You don’t have to face your insurer alone — we handle the process, the paperwork, and the negotiation.
From our office on the Saintfield Road, our team helps clients throughout Belfast, from Malone and Dundonald to Finaghy and Cave Hill. We deal with all major claim types:
No Win, No Fee! – You only pay if your claim is successful.
A homeowner in Malone woke to find water dripping through their kitchen ceiling after a burst pipe in the loft. PCLA arranged an immediate inspection, produced a full damage report, and negotiated directly with the insurer’s loss adjuster. Within six weeks, the claim was settled at £28,000 — covering full reinstatement and decoration.

A Loss Assessor is a professional who acts on your behalf during an insurance claim. If your Belfast property has suffered damage and you feel unsure about dealing with the insurer alone, a Loss Assessor can help you prepare your claim, gather evidence, and communicate with your insurer to support a fair outcome.
Loss Assessors can support claims for many kinds of property damage—such as fire, flood, escape of water, storm, theft, and subsidence. If you’re dealing with any unexpected damage, we can help you manage your insurance claim from start to finish.
A Loss Adjuster assesses your claim for the insurance company and looks after their interests. A Loss Assessor works for you, the property owner, and aims to ensure your claim is fully documented and fairly settled.
A Loss Assessor has experience with claims, negotiation, and insurance policy terms. We know what evidence to provide and how to present your case, which can help you avoid common pitfalls and improve your chances of a fair settlement.
