Frequently Asked Questions
What is a loss assessor?
A loss assessor is an independent professional who works for the homeowner — not the insurance company — to manage and negotiate an insurance claim. Unlike a loss adjuster who works for the insurer, a loss assessor represents the policyholder's interests to secure the maximum settlement they are entitled to.
What types of claims does a loss assessor handle?
Loss assessors handle all household insurance claims including drain collapse, water escape, flood damage, fire damage, storm damage, subsidence, and structural damage. Drainage claims are a core speciality, but every type of household insurance claim can be covered.
Which areas are covered?
Loss assessor services are available nationwide across the whole of the UK — England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. All major cities and towns are covered including Halifax, Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, Birmingham, Bristol, Sheffield, Nottingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Cardiff, Liverpool and many more.
How much does a loss assessor cost?
The service typically operates on a no-win, no-fee basis, taking a percentage of the settlement only if the claim succeeds. There are no upfront costs and no financial risk to the policyholder.
Can a loss assessor help if a claim has already been rejected?
Yes. Many rejections are based on insufficient evidence or misinterpretation of policy terms. The rejection is reviewed, additional documentation is gathered, and a stronger case is presented. Many initially rejected claims are successfully overturned with proper representation.
How quickly can a loss assessor start?
A loss assessor can begin immediately. Contact us as soon as damage occurs and an initial inspection can be arranged within 24–48 hours for urgent cases. Early involvement is key to properly documenting damage.
