Insurance repairs after vehicle impact, fire, flood and storm damage
When a car hits a house, or fire, flood or a storm damages it, Brick2Brick UK carries out the repairs for the insurance claim. The team makes the building safe, rebuilds it and hands it back, working for homeowners, landlords and the companies that manage claims, across the Midlands.
Who is insurance work for?
Most insurance jobs come from one of three places: homeowners claiming on their buildings insurance, landlords and owners of flats and apartment blocks, and the property repair and claims companies that need a building contractor. Several of those companies are regular clients.
What damage does Brick2Brick UK repair?
Four main kinds, each with a recent example:
- Vehicle impact: in Derby a car went through a boundary wall and into the house. The team rebuilt the wall, replaced the window, repaired the brickwork and made good inside.
- Fire: a fire-damaged house rebuilt from start to finish, with weekly updates to the owner, then signed off by the insurer and the customer.
- Flood: a Worcestershire house restored from the third floor down to the basement, and handed back once the decorators had finished.
- Storm: roofs repaired after storm damage, as insurance work.
What happens on an insurance job?
Every claim is different, but the work usually runs in the same order. The insurance repairs guide explains each step, with the official consumer sources.
Every claim is different, but the work usually runs in this order, from making the building safe to the sign-off. Each step shows one of the team’s own jobs.
Step 01 is at the bottom
Make safe and board up
The first job is to make the building safe: clear the loose brickwork, prop what needs propping and board up the openings.
The Derby vehicle-impact repair
Agree the scope
What gets taken down, rebuilt and replaced is agreed with the insurance company or the firm managing the claim. On the Derby job that meant the boundary wall, the window, the brickwork and the inside.

I would like to say that Liam, BricktoBrick has been very professional throughout the whole project from start to finish. He kept me informed weekly on progress and timescales and was always available to deal with any questions or queries I had both in a friendly and professional manner. It was inspiring to receive all these updates and pleasing the schedule was followed. The end result was amazing and when compared to the fire damaged property he started with.
