Don’t Settle for Less — Let PCLA Handle the Stress.
Why Fire Damage Claims Are So Stressful (and How We Help)
A fire can upend your whole life in seconds. Your kitchen, living room, or even your entire property may be left uninhabitable. Smoke damage, ruined appliances, hidden wiring problems—it’s not just what you see, it’s what you can’t. The paperwork is daunting, insurers are slow, and offers often don’t match the real repair cost. Many in Glasgow find themselves overwhelmed by jargon, endless questions, and worries about being left out of pocket.
That’s where PCLA steps in. We’re independent loss assessors, working for you (not your insurer), supporting you from first call to final settlement. We handle all evidence, claims documentation, insurer negotiations, and technical reports. With local Glasgow knowledge and experience with every major insurer—including Aviva, Direct Line, AXA, Zurich, and more—we make sure you receive everything your policy allows.

Turning a Low Offer Into a Fair Settlement: Fire Damage Claim Success in Bearsden, Glasgow
When a family in Bearsden, Glasgow suffered a severe kitchen fire, their insurer’s first offer was just £18,500—barely enough to cover basic repairs, let alone replacement of appliances and smoke cleaning. PCLA visited the next day, carried out a thorough survey, and found hidden wiring damage, ruined cabinetry, and severe smoke contamination throughout the ground floor.
We took over the paperwork, dealt directly with the insurer, and prepared a full loss inventory and builder’s schedule. The final settlement was increased to £29,200, covering all repairs and replacements. The family never had to argue with their insurer or chase calls—everything was handled for them.
- Final settlement: £29,200;
- Initial insurer offer: £18,500;
- Time to settlement: 10 weeks
