“As everybody who has anything to do with the law well knows, the path of the law is strewn with examples of open and shut cases which, somehow, were not; of unanswerable charges which, in the event, were completely answered; of inexplicable conduct which was fully explained; of fixed and unalterable determinations that, by discussion, suffered a change”
— McGarry, J – John V Rees And Others [1970] 1 Ch 345, [1969] 2 All Er 275

Roger has dealt with thousands of domestic fire, flood and burglary losses, as well major losses throughout the world. These have been as diverse as, acting for billionaires on both their personal and international corporate claims; representing a Spanish drinks producer on a £50m fire; acting for the owners of a crashed American Aircraft; dealing with multi-million pound factory fires in Africa; the theft of iconic legendary 19th century paintings owned by a major London public gallery; recovering valuable Dutch Master Paintings; and acting for the government of a major West European Country following a fire at its Embassy.
Roger is also involved in developing strategies to help and advise Clients on the increasing problem of cyber claims.
We have seen it all…
Factories destroyed by fire and explosion, burnt out private houses, distress caused by the theft of personal possessions, families made homeless by floods and hurricanes, houses uninhabitable because of subsidence, businesses wrecked by hurricanes and then bankrupted by inadequate presentation of a claim for business interruption. We really have seen it all, losses and disasters large and small.
Insurers instruct Loss Adjusters to represent them, to protect their interests and to calculate your claim settlement. You should benefit from the same expertise. An experienced specialist representing your interests. A company that is expert in the preparation, presentation and negotiation of your claim. A company able to obtain for you the maximum recovery and payment to which you are entitled.
We represent every type of claimant, whether domestic, commercial, governmental, public service or charitable. We specialise in claims for fire, flood, escape of water, theft, business interruption and subsidence. We act both for those with insurance, and those without insurance who can identify a legally responsible wrongdoer.
We comply with all rules of professional conduct, and we are registered and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We are also discreet and we maintain the confidentiality of our clients and the details of their individual claims at all times.
We handle everything on your behalf from the notification of the claim to getting you paid.
We avoid jargon and unnecessary complication. Our purpose is simply to negotiate the best settlement causing you the minimum of disruption in the shortest possible time.
We provide the experience, advice and support required in settling a household, commercial, or public service claim. Our claims experience ranges from values of £5,000 to over £80m.
Sometimes claims are not capable of agreement by negotiation directly with the party responsible or insurers. In these circumstances the claim may have to be referred to some form of mediation, arbitration or even legal action. In these cases we act as a Claims Advocate providing you with our expertise and where necessary, also that of one of our specialist consultants.
Our initial visit is always without any obligation to you.
For most matters we charge on a “no win – no fee” basis, which is both a reassurance to you and an incentive to us. Once we have made an assessment of whether or not we are confident that you have a valid claim, we shall propose a fee to you, which you are entirely at liberty to accept or reject, as you wish.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), will apply in the UK and across the EU from 25th May 2018. It is the largest, most far-reaching, and comprehensive data protection legislation enacted in the UK, and will continue to apply after the UK leaves the EU. It contains a fundamental shift in approach, where consent to the use of data can no longer be implied, but must now always be positively and explicitly granted.
The Regulation imposes increased responsibilities, and liabilities, on all business trading in the UK, whether or not they are based in the UK. The onus is on businesses to establish full and effective compliance procedures within their organisation, and this has huge implications for insurance cover and claims. The responsibility on all businesses to ensure data is properly protected, and the financial and reputational penalties for any lapse, require all managers to consider the security of their systems, both manual and electronic, and the adequacy and scope of their insurance cover.
We can provide a guide on how to protect your business, arrange a review of your security and risk management, and in the event of a breach prepare, present and negotiate any claim. If we can assist you or you would just like a general chat on how your business will be affected, please call us.
