What we do

Natural and man-made catastrophes impact thousands of properties and cause millions of pounds in damages each year. At Sedgwick, we undertake desktop and site visit valuations to provide an accurate, Reinstatement Cost Assessment (RCA) report to assist you in setting the correct declared value (DV) and/or sum insured.

It’s fundamental that a building is insured for an adequate amount. If an incident occurs and the sum insured doesn’t reflect the rebuilding cost, your policy may not meet the full cost of replacing or repairing the building, leaving a potentially significant shortfall for you to fund.

This is even more important where a building is listed, and you have a statutory responsibility to reinstate. A Reinstatement Cost Assessment (RCA) report gives you peace of mind that the building has been insured for an adequate amount. It provides a rebuilding figure that includes the cost of demolition, debris removal and professional fees, itemised for each building to be included.

Sedgwick has a proven history of stability, financial strength and respect in the marketplace. We will be there when you need us.
