FCA regulated • No Win, No Fee • 250+ five-star reviews
When your property is damaged, your insurer appoints a Loss Adjuster to protect their interests. PCLA act for you, the policyholder — assessing the damage, preparing the claim, and negotiating the settlement directly with the insurer.
You don’t have to face your insurer alone — we handle the process, the paperwork, and the negotiation.
From coastal homes in Donaghadee to new builds around Crawfordsburn and Conlig, PCLA manage insurance claims across the North Down area. We handle all major claim types including:
No Win, No Fee! – You only pay if your claim is successful.

After discovering an underground leak in our kitchen, we contacted The Leak Doctor, who quickly and efficiently located and repaired the issue. They recommended PCLA to handle our insurance claim on our behalf. From our first call to PCLA, the process was seamless. Declan promptly got in touch to arrange a visit and assess the overall damage. He arrived as scheduled, conducted a thorough assessment, and took down our insurance details. Declan managed all communication with the insurance company and organised a follow-up visit with their assessor. The entire process, from discovery to resolution, was handled professionally and completed within just five weeks.

“They handled everything for us and kept us informed. Excellent communication from start to finish.” — Bangor homeowner
We work on a No Win, No Fee basis. Our standard fee is 10% of the final settlement plus VAT — nothing upfront.
Included:
If your claim isn’t successful, you pay nothing.
Loss assessors manage the entire claims process for you, from the first paperwork through negotiations. Bangor homeowners often tell us they feel instant relief knowing a local expert deals with insurers, handles frustrating calls, and pursues the maximum settlement—so you don’t need to become a policy expert overnight.
We work with everything from burst pipes and storm damage to fire and oil leaks—issues that commonly affect homes in County Down. Our team knows Bangor’s building types and local contractors, so we can advise quickly, document damage thoroughly, and speed up restoration.
Bangor clients regularly see improved offers. For example, we helped a local family increase their settlement by over £15,340 after their insurer’s initial low estimate. Because we understand insurance language and use specialist building surveyors, we find hidden damage others miss—putting more money in your pocket.
Yes—we provide remote and full-service options. If you’re travelling or committed elsewhere, our team keeps you updated but manages claims work, site inspections, and negotiations independently. Most Bangor clients simply sign once the settlement is final—saving weeks of personal time.
We offer rapid, local response for urgent cases—usually same-day for major damage like leaks or flooding. The faster we start, the better your outcome, since evidence is preserved and insurers can’t claim pre-existing damage.
Insurer-appointed adjusters and contractors work for the insurance company, not you. That can mean rushed repairs or minimised payouts. Our loss assessor team’s loyalty is to Bangor homeowners: we negotiate independently, ensure quality repairs, and guarantee every entitlement is claimed.
Generally, just your policy paperwork and a brief timeline of the damage event. If you’re missing documents or unsure, we’ll advise what’s needed and even contact your insurer on your behalf to streamline the process.
Yes—many accept first offers or miss secondary damage that appears weeks later. If you don’t challenge the insurer’s decision, you may lose out on thousands. We check for issues like water migration, insulation failures, and structural risks, not just surface repairs.
Absolutely. We provide straightforward progress updates by email or phone, depending on your preference, so you’re never left in the dark. Your peace of mind is as important as your claim result.
Just reach out for a free assessment. We’ll review your situation, explain options, and let you know if we can add value before you commit. No strings attached—just local, expert advice.
