Create scopes of works using our dedicated software, review estimates and discuss details with trades people to ensure we are controlling costs and settling the appropriate amount for the repairs

Assist our customers should their property become uninhabitable and alternative accommodation is required

Manage claims for Subsidence alongside our Loss Adjusters

Work closely with our own contractor network, loss adjusters and the wider claims department to provide support and guidance

Manage any customer complaints effectively to ensure the right outcome
