Insurance Claims
Safeguard Construction Ltd works with all major insurers, directly and via their supply chain of loss adjusters and building networks. Protecting their reputation and providing excellent customer support is our primary objective.
Safeguard Construction Ltd handles between 700-1000 building insurance claims each year. These claims need to be well-managed and coordinated in order to meet the stringent service levels expected by the insurance industry.
FIRE
Under the instruction of your loss adjuster, we would initially concentrate on the salvage, cleaning and storage of your remaining possessions. We would then secure the property and protect against further damage from inclement weather. Whilst this work is being done a comprehensive schedule of repairs is produced and agreed by all parties. We would then work quickly and efficiently to complete the works to your satisfaction.
ESCAPE OF WATER & FLOOD
While not as visually disturbing as fire, water can cause untold damage to the fabric of a building and its contents.Safequard employs specialists in this field who will minimise the damage and replace the affected items, as required.
Depending on the severity of the flood or escape of water, our drying and restoration team will strip out and dry the remaining structure and, with diligence and care, our tradesmen will then reinstate your property to its original condition.
STORM
Depending on the nature and severity of the incident, it may be necessary to carry out emergency works. These works will often take the form of stabilisation of the remaining structure, making safe, and temporary repairs to prevent further damage. The next stage is to reinstate all areas that have been affected by the storm damage. Our intention being to leave your property secure and dry, as quickly as possible.
IMPACT
The rebuild and repair of a boundary wall or fence tend to be relatively straight forward. For claims that involve extensive structural repairs to buildings, we work with structural engineers to rebuild the affected areas as seamlessly as possible.
RESTORATION, DRYING & DECONTAMINATION
Where flooding has occurred, one of our BPMA qualified technicians will fully assess the condition of the property and establish a suitable drying and decontamination programme. We will install specialist equipment and monitor the situation regularly until the property is dry and reinstatement works can commence. If a fire has occurred, we have a range of equipment and techniques to decontaminate your property. Air scrubbers, thermal foggers, and ozone generators, can be deployed as necessary. A full alkaline clean may be required to bring surfaces back to a neutral pH level.
