Home Insurance Fire Claim Diary

Options
Day 1
Fire at house next door.
Police and Fire Service have to break our front door to check if there are any occupants and if the fire had spread to our house, as we were not home. Thanks to the Police and Fire Service, fortunately no one was hurt.
Our house is full of smoke, have to open all the windows and doors, front door can be locked from inside but not from outside.
Legal and General said that it is not an emergency as the front door can still be locked from the inside.
ARM Locksmiths has no available replacement parts, will order for installation.
Vacuum cleaned floor, will have to sleep with smoke smell even with bedroom windows open.

    Day 3
    You realise the people next door are having a much harder time than you are.
    You also start to think how fortunate your family are that nobody was hurt.

    Day 4
    You remember you can lock the front door from inside and exit from the back door locking it behind you.......

    How much are you after? ££££

    Legal and General said Cunningham Lindsey will look after my claim.
    Cunningham Lindsey will visit me on Day 6, they asked Belfor today to clean the property.
    Belfor will assess the required cleaning work also on Day 6.

    I guess a number of people will be interested, and it's not doing any harm.

    FWIW, my prediction is that a number of other posters will become sneering and offensive, and therefore MikeSuperZone will give up.
