Insurance Reinstatement & Restoration in Oxford
Expert Insurance Services Oxford by Crawford Construction
When fire, flood or storm damages your home or business, the building work is only half the battle, the insurance claim is the other. Crawford Construction provides expert insurance reinstatement and restoration across Oxford and Oxfordshire, handling both the repairs and the claims process so you can focus on getting life back to normal.
We restore residential and commercial properties to their pre-loss condition, or better, working directly with your insurer, loss adjuster or loss assessor to agree the scope of works and remove the stress from your claim.
Water Damage & Flood Restoration
From burst pipes and escape of water to flooding, we manage water extraction, drying out, strip-out of damaged materials, and full reinstatement of walls, floors and ceilings, with mould prevention to protect your property.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Fire damage rarely ends where the flames stop, smoke travels into voids and water from firefighting settles deep inside the structure. We identify all the damage, remove soot and smoke residues, carry out structural repairs and restore affected areas to pre-loss condition.
Storm & Impact Damage Restoration
Storm damage often starts at roof level and works down. We handle roof repairs, structural reinforcement and the secondary damage that can appear weeks later, as well as accidental and impact damage.
Structural Repairs & Subsidence
We provide structural assessments and repairs after any incident, including subsidence-related damage, ensuring the property is safe and sound.
Full Interior & Exterior Reinstatement
Complete restoration including plastering, painting, flooring, joinery and fixture replacement, bringing the property fully back to life.
Insurance Restoration Services We Provide
From roof repairs to structural reinforcement, we address storm-related damage quickly and efficiently.
