From Frustration to Fair Payout: A Real Edinburgh Success Story
Case Study: After fierce winds battered their home in Leith, the Mackenzie family found water stains spreading across their upstairs ceilings. Their insurer offered £5,900 for “cosmetic repairs”.
PCLA’s Edinburgh team carried out a full assessment and uncovered hidden damp and damage to the roof structure. We managed the paperwork and pressed the insurer for a true settlement—securing £16,400 to cover all repairs, redecoration, and follow-up checks. The Mackenzies never had to chase or argue with their insurer again.
- Final settlement: £16,400;
- Insurer’s original offer: £5,900;
- Time to settlement: 8 weeks.
Storm Damage Claim FAQs for Edinburgh Homeowners
What is the definition of a storm in relation to storm damage claims?
A storm, for insurance purposes, means a powerful weather event—think strong winds, heavy rain, hail, or snowfall—that causes damage to your home. This is a key point for any storm damage insurance claim. If you’re unsure whether your situation fits your policy’s definition, let PCLA review it for you. Our team can quickly confirm if your storm damage is covered and help you get your claim moving.
How can I prepare for storms to minimise potential storm damage?
Simple steps—like securing loose roof tiles, trimming back branches, and checking fences—can make all the difference before a storm hits. But even with the best preparation, damage still happens. If your Edinburgh property has suffered after severe weather, contact PCLA. We can advise you on next steps and help you recover your losses through a strong home insurance claim.
What types of damage may be covered under home insurance for storm damage?
Storm damage home insurance claims often cover problems caused by high winds, heavy rain, or hail—such as broken windows, leaking roofs, or water damage to personal property. Every policy is different, so knowing what your building insurance covers is crucial. Unsure what you can claim? PCLA can review your policy for free, explain your cover, and make sure you don’t miss out on any part of your storm damage claim.
How do I make a claim for storm damage on my home insurance?
Don’t struggle through the claim process alone. After a storm, document the damage with photos and receipts, then contact your insurer.

We gather all evidence, manage the paperwork, and deal with the insurer on your behalf—giving you the best chance of a fair settlement.
What should I do if my property was damaged in a storm?
First, keep yourself and your family safe. Then, take detailed photos of all damage. Next, call PCLA. We’ll guide you through every step, from reporting the claim to gathering evidence and dealing with your insurer. Our experts make sure nothing is overlooked—so you can focus on getting back to normal.
Which factors can affect my storm damage insurance claim?
Insurers look at many factors, including the severity of the storm, the state of your property before the damage, and how quickly you act. If there are questions about maintenance or if evidence is missing, your payout could suffer. That’s where PCLA comes in: we ensure your claim is robust, well-documented, and expertly managed from day one. Don’t risk a low settlement—speak to us before you submit your claim.
What types of storm damage may require specialised repair?
