For many years Canham Consulting has worked closely with Loss Adjusters and Insurers in relation to subsidence, fire, escape of water, impact and flood claims. We work for individuals and companies advising them of the recovery of losses following an accident.
In most cases we are initially appointed by a householder when cracks are found and an opinion is sought as to their cause. At the present time subsidence claim investigations are often dealt with "in-house" by Loss Adjusters and after our initial inspection we are rarely retained by the Loss Adjuster. However, householders under the terms of Building Insurance policies are entitled to retain their own engineer, so don't always accept what insurers wish to impose. As a consequence we often assist individuals when they are not satisfied with the services and advice given by insurers and Loss Adjusters.
With such claims as fire and impact we are often called in for an initial visit by the Loss Adjuster to assist with assessing the need for temporary/emergency works. Beyond this stage we are often retained to produce drawings and specifications for the repairs or reinstatement of the property. We would then proceed to tender the works and act as Contract Administrator during the building contract.
Should any of our services be of interest, please contact us via any of the methods described on our Contacts page.
