Yes, completely. Jonathon manages your chimney fire insurance claim from start to finish. He is qualified to provide certified insurance reports, has excellent working relationships with many of Ireland's leading insurance companies and loss adjusters, and will handle all communication, paperwork, and negotiations on your behalf. From the initial CCTV survey through to claim approval and the final repair, you deal with one person only.

A specialist camera is lowered into your chimney flue to inspect the entire internal lining from top to bottom. The HD footage reveals cracks, collapsed liner sections, creosote buildup, and structural damage that cannot be seen from outside. This internal survey is combined with a full external inspection of the chimney stack, flashing, pot, and cowl. You receive a detailed written report with images covering all areas of damage, which is then submitted directly to your insurer.

The repair timeline depends on the extent of the damage and the insurance approval process. A straightforward chimney relining can typically be completed in 1 to 2 days. A full chimney stack rebuild may take 3 to 5 days depending on the size and complexity. The insurance claim process itself usually takes 2 to 4 weeks from initial survey to approval. Jonathon keeps you informed at every stage and schedules repairs as soon as the claim is approved.
