UK Property Claims provide a fast and efficient claims management service in which customer satisfaction is one of their main objectives.

UK Property Claims provides 2 options to choose if you undertake their services in regards to the management and settlement of your claim.

Option 1 – By appointing a UKPC claims assessor, along with the builders/- contractors that they introduce from their network of experts, their services will be free of charge. The contractors who repair your home will be paid by your insurance company as part of your claim and they, in turn, pay UKPC a fee for managing the network.

Option 2 – If you’d like to use your insurer’s builder or want a cash settlement, they can also negotiate any of these options for you. You are still able to appoint a UKPC Claims Assessor to help with this. In these cases, they would need to charge a small percentage of the claim value (10%). If they have to charge a fee, they will always expect it to be offset by the increase in the settlement we achieve for their clients.

At Southern Leak Detection, our team of Leak Detection engineers are dedicated to helping our customers quickly Find & Fix their leak. Here is our extensive Frequently Asked Questions section which will give you information on everything you need to know about our innovative leak detection technologies and what to do/not to do in case of a leak.

Yes we can! However, we may need to carry out minor excavation works to expose it before we repair it.

To avoid further problems arising, the area must be dried once the leak has been repaired. Moisture generally traps itself within surface’s even if you can't physically see it. If the property has not been dried after a leak, mould and further damage will appear in the décor of your building. This will also cause health implications when mould is taken in via the lungs, which can seriously cause issues to your health.

There are several ways of testing this one of which is to turn off the stop cock for the water feed running into your property. Check to see if the meter gauge is still running then this is a clear indication here is a suspected leak on your side of the property. The stop cock is either located underneath your kitchen ink or alternatively under your stair cupboard. Another form is to look out for sudden damp patches appearing in certain sections of your property.
