Commercial Fire Insurance Claims

Unparalleled experience and expertise, combined with complete transparency and independence.

A fire at your business can create a major setback that will require a huge amount of time and resources to recover from.

As the UK’s most experienced team of insurance claim consultants, we will help you get the settlement you are entitled to with minimal disruption to your business.

Why Appoint a Loss Assessor?

When you make a commercial fire claim, insurers will appoint a loss adjuster who will scrutinise your situation to find any grounds for them to pay you as little as possible, or even reject liability. They will use a team of trained professionals that may include a forensic scientist, who will aim to uncover any issues that may invalidate your claim.

The experience can often increase the stress you are already under and prolong the period you are out of action. But with us on your side, we can help you get the settlement you deserve.

How We Will Help You

Our highly skilled team includes chartered surveyors, chartered accountants, chartered loss adjusters and qualified loss assessors.

They will work with you to get the best possible settlement from your buildings, contents and business interruption cover. They will aim to get your business back up and running as soon as possible by:

  • Organising emergency works to secure your property and protect it from further damage.
  • Thinking outside the box to present you with all your options.
  • Ensuring that disaster cleaning companies do a safe and thorough job.
  • Dealing with all aspects of your claim from start to finish, including any paperwork that needs to meet certain standards.
  • Scrutinising your policy wording and advising you on any issues relating to compliance with warranties and conditions that may affect liability.
  • Getting insurers to accept liability as quickly as possible, so that we can generate immediate interim payments to help you maintain your cash flow.
  • Making sure you get the most out of your business interruption cover, by advising on items that adjusters might not point out, such as retrospective discounting and promotional activity.
  • Identifying the full extent of the damage and uncovering any invisible aspects that could lead to long term problems.
  • Demonstrating the economic validity of ‘increased costs of working’ coverage.
  • Helping you choose any specialist surveyors you may need, therefore avoiding the insurance companies’ supply chains, which might not operate in your best interest. We will supervise these parties throughout your project to ensure you get everything you need and there are no surprises.

    A wonderful service
    Dannielle Douglas was our contact with Harris Balcombe when my son, who has a brain injury, accidentally set his house on fire. It is no exaggeration to say we simply could not have managed the complicated insurance claim without her help. She dealt directly with the insurers, who could not have been more unhelpful and took months to agree a settlement, despite the fact that my son was fully insured; fought tooth and nail to get full compensation; and organised the rebuilding once it was agreed.
    Dannielle was also exceptionally kind and patient with my son, who was considerably traumatised by the whole experience, and as well as replying to all his queries kept the rest of the family fully updated with the progress of the claim.
    Based on our experience with Dannielle, I would wholeheartedly recommend Harris Balcombe to assist with insurance claims.

    Highly recommended
    I have used Harris Balcombe’s services on more than one occasion now. The last occasion was a complicated claim. I found their level of service and expertise of great value. Well worth leaving it to the experts.

    How to get a house rebuild under insurance without stress
    Almost three years ago, the house my brother and I inherited from our father caught fire. At the time I was caring for my wife, who had been diagnosed with MND. Harris Balcombe contacted me and said they would manage the insurance rebuild process. And that’s exactly what they did — friendly, no fuss, thorough, patient (and believe me, the insurance company behaved like total idiots, taking seven months to accept the claim, which required a lot of patience).
    Once that was accepted, they engaged surveyors, managed the inevitable pushback from the insurers as to what should and shouldn’t be done, then tendered for rebuild, engaged contractors, and finally helped tie up the loose ends which were always going to happen.
    A big thanks to HB in general, and Jonathan Ingham in particular. I would never have been able to do this.
