i would have thought anything that cannot be easily cleaned up.
ask the insurance company. if youre not happy with them, then ask an independent assessor.Get some gorm.0 -
They would probably get a loss adjuster out anyway so I would pretty much start writing a list of everything & how much I paid for it & what it is to buy now.
List everything on a spreadsheet & you can easily add, remove & alter prices etc.
