Start your claim journey. We will take it from here.

Having your home damaged is unsettling, and the claims process can feel like one more thing to carry. You do not have to work it out on your own. Once your insurer instructs us, we pick up the detail and keep you informed at every stage.

You will have a named contact who knows your property and your claim. Ask us anything, at any point. There is no such thing as a silly question, and nothing gets started in your home without you knowing what is happening and why.

01
We call you first

Within four hours of your insurer instructing us, someone from the team will be in touch to introduce themselves and answer your first questions.

02
We visit and explain

A surveyor comes out, looks at the damage properly, and talks you through what needs doing in plain language. No jargon, no assumptions.

03
We deal with your insurer

The scope, the costings and the back and forth all sit with us. You are not the go between, and you should never have to chase anyone.

04
We stay until you are happy

Nothing is signed off until you have walked round with us and you are satisfied. Aftercare continues after we have packed up and gone.

Nationserv emergency make safe works at an Oxford residential property following vehicle impact damage
Case study, emergency response

Oxford, a vehicle through the wall. Same day on site.

Sedgwick instructed Nationserv to attend an emergency claim in Oxford after a vehicle reversed into a residential property, causing significant structural damage and compromising the building envelope.

The team attended the same day to make the property safe and secure. Debris removed, damaged radiator capped to restore heating, temporary propping installed, the affected area insulated and boarded to protect the home. Property handed back to the homeowner safe, warm and weathertight within hours of instruction.

The full reinstatement is now progressing under the same project team, returning the property to its pre loss condition as quickly and smoothly as possible.

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you instruct.

Is Nationserv approved by UK insurers? +

Yes. Nationserv works directly with major UK insurers, loss adjusters and claims networks as an approved reinstatement contractor, with established relationships across the industry. To discuss approval or add Nationserv to your approved contractor list, speak to the claims team on 0800 652 3331.

How fast can you respond to an emergency claim? +

For instructed emergency claims Nationserv aims to make a property safe within 24 hours, and often attends the same day. Make safe works include boarding up, temporary repairs, capping services and protecting contents. Once the property is secure, the full reinstatement claim moves to survey and scope.

Who do you work for, the insurer or the homeowner? +

Both. Nationserv is instructed by the insurer or loss adjuster, and scope is agreed with them. The homeowner is the one living through the claim, so clear communication, regular updates and respect for the property matter just as much as the technical work. Surveyors manage both relationships in parallel.

Who carries out the work on site? +

Core trades sit in house. Plastering, carpentry, decorating, general building and surveying are all delivered by Nationserv teams. For specialist scopes such as electrical, gas, roofing and asbestos removal, Nationserv works with a vetted list of approved specialists under its own project management. Every person on site is accountable to Nationserv.

What does a typical claim look like? +

Every claim is different, but the shape is consistent. Instruction, homeowner contact within four hours, survey, scope, insurer agreement, works on site, daily updates, final sign off, aftercare. A straightforward escape of water claim might run four to six weeks. A major subsidence claim with underpinning and reinstatement can run six months or more.

Do you work on heritage or listed buildings? +

Yes. Nationserv has a dedicated heritage capability for listed residential properties, period buildings and sensitive commercial environments. The Royal Society of Medicine project is a recent example of work inside a prestigious operational venue with fixed heritage features. Conservation officers are liaised with where required.

How do you report back to insurers? +

Daily site reports, photographic records, and schedule of rates line items. Nationserv works with Xactimate and Symbility estimating, Blueprint job management and Salesforce communication, and adapts reporting cadence to what each insurer requires. A full sign off pack is provided at completion, including warranty, certificates, and photographic evidence of final condition.

How long has Nationserv been repairing insured property? +

Nationserv was established in 2015 and has spent a decade delivering insurance repairs across the UK. The leadership team brings 25 years of combined trade and leadership experience across building, insurance repair and project delivery.
