Projects & Case Studies

Selected reinstatement, commercial and residential projects from across London, each documented from the problem first reported through to the finished result.

Location at area level · Before, during and after photography · Clearly defined scopes

How Each Case Study Is Documented

Every project recorded in four stages.

A case study is only useful if it shows the whole job. Each one follows the same structure, with photographs at every stage and the location given at area level, such as Greenwich, Blackheath or Central London.

01

Problem

What we found on arrival: the loss type or defect, the condition of the ceilings, walls and mouldings, and the constraints of the property.

02

Scope

The agreed schedule of works: what is repaired, what is replaced, the finish standard, and how original details are treated.

03

Work Undertaken

How the work was carried out, stage by stage: strip-out and preparation, plastering and finishing, mouldings and any coordinated trades.

04

Finished Result

The completed area photographed for the record, decorated and handed back, with the original character of the room intact.

Project Categories

Four categories of work.

Case studies are grouped by the type of project, so claims professionals and property owners can find work comparable to their own.

Project Records

Detailed project records are being compiled for publication. In the meantime, claims professionals and contractors are welcome to request example documentation directly.

Why It Matters

Documentation is part of the service.

The same records that make a useful case study, photographs, itemised scopes and completion documentation, are produced on live projects as standard.

That discipline is described on the insurance reinstatement page, where it matters most.

Insurance Reinstatement

Escape of water, fire and storm losses documented from first inspection to decorated completion.

Commercial & Managed Property

Refurbishment and repair projects in offices, retail and communal areas, planned or reactive.

Residential & Period Properties

Ceiling, cornice and finish work in Victorian and Edwardian homes across the London boroughs.
