Working with your insurer

You make one phone call. We do the rest of the admin.

Most people lose weeks to their claim because the evidence is not in the format the adjuster needs. We produce it as standard, and we bill the insurer directly wherever the policy allows.

    Phones answered 24/7 and a London-based team dispatched within 20 minutes of your call to stop the damage spreading.

    We liaise directly with your insurer or adjuster, agree the scope and invoice them. You cover the excess, nothing more.

  4. Dry, repair, reinstate04

    Dry, repair, reinstate

    Certified drying to target moisture levels, then plastering, flooring, decorating and sign-off with a written guarantee.

  • Direct billing to insurers
  • Excess-only cost to you
  • Written reinstatement guarantee

Where we work

London homes, London housing stock.

Victorian terraces, ex-local flats, warehouse conversions and new-build blocks all fail in different ways. Because we only work inside the M25, our teams know the party wall arguments, the freeholder consents and the borough building control quirks before they arrive.

Who you are dealing with

Mohammad answers the phone. Mohammad walks your job.

Mohammad started out drying out flooded basements in Tower Hamlets eighteen years ago, spent six of those years working claims from the loss adjuster's side of the table, and set up Urgent Restorations so London homeowners would stop being the last people to find out what their own claim said.

He surveys every project personally, writes the schedule of works himself, and gives you his mobile number on day one. No call centre, no subcontracted strangers, no scope quietly cut behind your back.
