Fire Damage Claims

Fire Damage Claims

Fire and explosion damage to domestic, and commercial buildings, and their contents.

Historical evidence indicates that there are often more than 85000 incidents of fire damage within buildings in the United Kingdom in any given year. About 60% of these fires occur in domestic households and the remainder are commercial fires.

If you have been unfortunate to have suffered fire or explosion damage at your home or business premises there are important factors to immediately consider. Physical damage caused by the flames and the explosion itself is obvious enough, but the effects of smoke and carbon deposits are often overlooked and yet can be very destructive to any building or its contents. The extent of these deposits varies in magnitude but even the finest particles can cause irreparable damage to surfaces and finishes of a buildings fabric or its fixtures. The soot particles from a fire or explosion can be equally destructive to contents such as hard and soft furniture, clothing, books, electronic or electrical items , foodstuffs, machinery and plant, and other general stock and packaging. The speed and appropriateness of any salvaging measures are thus vital if affected items are to be successfully restored. When a policyholder has suffered damage or loss to a house or commercial building by fire it is therefore essential that they engage their own impartial expert fire insurance Loss Assessor.

"Our chimney went on fire and did a lot of damage, we had to get a full new chimney rebuild from the ground up, the Premier Property Claims, did all the paperwork for the claim, got a builder in to do the work and also helped us claim for some related damage. They are great!"
