Working with Loss Adjusters
We’re experienced in working alongside loss adjusters and insurance assessors. We can provide quotes in the format required by most UK insurers and can liaise directly with your insurer’s representative if needed.
Repair vs Replacement for Insurance
Most insurers will prefer a repair settlement over replacement where a professional repair can achieve an equivalent result. Repair costs are substantially lower than replacement, which benefits both the insurer and the policyholder’s no-claims bonus.
We will always provide an honest assessment of whether repair is the right solution and will not recommend replacement when repair is viable.
