Insurance claim Storm damage - What do YOU actually claim for?

Options
We suffered storm damage.(we have accidental and storm damage cover)

Anytime we have made a claim , we only ever kept the claim simple.  In the hope that its sorted quickly.
Should we be claiming for every match stick?

    I think the last time I claimed on house insurance was 1987, for a TV aerial. I don't have accidental damage cover, it's cheaper just to be careful.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    You need to get a quote to repair all you consider damaged.  We had roof damage a few years ago and had to get two quotes, which I think you may have a problem if you need two, as most roofers will be busy.  Phone your insurance company and ask them what you need to do.
