Leicester House Fire

DOMESTIC FIRE INSURANCE CLAIM

Our clients were bundled out of their property with their two small children on a Sunday evening and stood outside as their adjoining neighbours property was burning through the roof.

The Incident

The family stood and watched as the thick black smoke enveloped their house in Leicester. The fire brigade then ran through the property and doused the first floor and loft with water to prevent the flames from taking their house. Once the fire was out the family were relieved to see their property saved, but inside they discovered extensive water and smoke damage.

The client was immediately calmed and reassured by Neil from Harris Balcombe who clearly set out what we could do.

Sophie at Harris Balcombe then took control and helped the family to deal with fire damage cleaning. A team from our network of contractors was put in to action to dry and restore the property to a pre-loss condition. We liaised with their insurance company, representing them in all elements, from agreeing costs for the work to providing an allowance for the inconvenience of relocation. We exceeded the client’s expectations in terms of the settlement of the contents claim and work done to the property.

“I am so glad we had your help to sort out everything out, you have been fab! Thank you!” Jo

“I am so glad Harris Balcombe knocked on our door after the fire at our property. We signed up with Harris Balcombe and it was the best thing we ever did. At a stressful time we were guided through what would happen to our property by Sophie. The work carried out was fantastic and we couldn’t be happier! A brilliant, friendly and professional team. Thank you! ” Jo

    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.
