Insurance building work in Rugby and Warwickshire
We take on insurance building work for homes and commercial properties. After fire, flood or storm damage we survey the property properly first. Then we strip out everything affected and rebuild.
Thomas Ford Construction was set up in 2017 and is backed by over 25 years of industry experience.
Fire, flood and storm damage reinstatement
Fire damage restoration
The damage from a fire isn’t only the flames. Smoke and the water used to put it out can leave much more of a property unusable. On a recent job in Redditch a fire spread from the house next door through the roof. Between the flames, the smoke and the water, very little of the upper floor was left in a usable condition. Rain then got in while the roof was open.
That’s why we start with a full strip out. Everything affected by fire, smoke or water comes out before any rebuilding starts. It’s the part of the job that’s easy to underestimate. Reinstating over damaged material stores up problems that show months later.
Once the property is stripped back we rebuild what’s needed. That can mean a new roof structure, new ceilings, fixtures and fittings, full electrical and mechanical installations and decoration throughout. We survey the property properly at the start. The scope can still move as damaged areas are opened up.
Flood and escape of water damage
Water from a flood or a burst pipe soaks into floors, walls and ceilings. Once the property has been dried out we strip out what’s been damaged and reinstate it. That covers floors, plaster, kitchens, bathrooms and decoration.
Storm damage repairs
High winds and heavy rain can damage roofs, chimneys and walls. We repair and reinstate storm damage as planned work, from the roof structure through to the finishes inside.
Subsidence repairs
Once the cause has been dealt with and the ground is stable, we carry out the building repairs. That can include crack repairs, rebuilding sections of wall, replastering and redecorating.
The work usually sits alongside an insurance claim. So we survey the property at the start.
A proper survey means the full extent of the damage is understood before rebuilding begins.
We can deal directly with your insurer and loss adjuster. We agree the scope of works with them and keep them updated as the job goes on.
Every damaged element is removed first. Then we rebuild, from the structure through to the decoration.
We finish the property ready to be lived in or used again. Where the property is empty we have clear access to complete the job properly.
