Insurance Reinstatement · South London

Fire & flood damage put right — and your insurance claim handled.

When fire, flood or a burst pipe hits a property, we put it back better than before. As a full-trade firm we run the whole reinstatement under one roof — working with you, your insurer and loss adjuster from the first make-safe to the final coat. Bathrooms, kitchens and private renovations too, but putting damaged homes right is the heart of what we do.

What we specialise in

Insurance reinstatement, start to finish.

Most of what we do is putting right damage that's gone through an insurance claim — fire, flood, escape of water and storm. Because every trade is in-house, we handle the whole reinstatement ourselves: make-safe, strip-out, drying, structural repairs and a full rebuild, right through to decoration and snagging.

We're used to working alongside insurers, loss adjusters and claims handlers — providing the photos, reports and clear costs they need, and keeping you updated the whole way. One point of contact, one team, and a property handed back better than it was before.

How a claim runs with us

From the first phone call to sign-off, in five clear stages.

1

Make-safe & first response

We secure the property, stop further damage and assess exactly what's needed.

2

Strip-out & drying

Damaged materials removed, the structure dried out and prepped for repair.

3

Structural repairs

Brickwork, plaster, floors and anything that holds the building together, made good.

4

Full rebuild & finish

Kitchens, bathrooms, joinery and decoration — back to pre-loss condition or better.

5

Snagging & sign-off

A final walk-round, every detail checked, and the paperwork wrapped up.

Private work too: the same team takes on bathrooms, kitchens and full renovations outside of claims.
Every trade in-house

The trades behind every reinstatement.

Covering every trade ourselves is what lets us run a whole claim without waiting on subcontractors — and the same skills are yours for private repairs, bathrooms, kitchens and renovations.

Plus everything around the build.

About us

Affordable quality as standard.

For nine years we worked almost exclusively for South London's property developers and estate agents, covering every trade across their portfolios — including putting properties right after fire, flood and water damage. That kind of work sharpens your skills and your systems, and it's exactly what we now bring to homeowners, landlords and insurers directly.

Having every trade under one roof is what makes us right for insurance reinstatement: one team manages the whole claim, start to finish, with nothing lost between subcontractors. We build with 10 to 20-year accountability in mind, which is why most of our work comes from referrals.

Trusted over the years by agents and developers including Brinkley's, Townends, Dexters and Cubitt & West, and proud of our charitable work with St Bede's, Balham and St Matthew's, Croydon.
