What types of insurance damage do you repair?
We handle fire restorations, escape of water, major-loss flooding and landslide, impact damage and storm damage, including drying, secure storage, structural engineering and full internal refurbishment.
Are you accredited for this kind of work?
Yes. Our director is a member of the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB), and we are CHAS Elite and SafeContractor Gold accredited, FMB approved and fully insured, the assurances insurers and loss adjusters look for.
How quickly can you start reinstatement work?
We understand how urgent these situations are and aim to respond and mobilise quickly to minimise disruption and get you back into your home as soon as possible.
Are you an insurance-approved contractor?
We work directly with insurers and loss adjusters on reinstatement claims and provide the documentation, accreditations and itemised reporting an approved contractor is expected to hold. Our director is MCIOB, a member of the Chartered Institute of Building, which is the recognised professional standard for building management.
Which areas do you cover for insurance repairs?
We cover Somerset, Devon and the wider South West, including Taunton, Exeter, Tiverton, Sidmouth, Wellington, Bridgwater, Yeovil, Wells, Minehead, Honiton and Dulverton. For larger losses we mobilise our trade network across the region.
What is an insurance repair network and why does it help?
One accountable contractor coordinates a vetted group of specialist trades, so your insurer deals with a single point of contact while qualified people handle each part of the reinstatement. It keeps quality consistent, speeds up the claim and scales to larger or multiple losses.
