At ClaimsTech we offer a technical referral service for all building claims. Our local surveying and engineering experts specialise in structural problems to both domestic homes and commercial properties.
We understand that insurance claims can be made for any type of building damage, not necessarily covered by an individual policy. It is therefore important to correctly identify and report on a building problem so policy liability can be transparent.
Our specialist service includes effective and immediate emergency response to all structural and building damage caused as a result of extreme events.
- Subsidence
- Flood
- Impact
- Escape of water

- Storm
- Landslip
- Fracking
- Fire
This principal applies during a claim where additional or unforeseen damage can be identified. Opening up any type of building can lead to an unexpected discovery that could have serious implications on claim spend and duration.
