Third party Loss Adjuster only offering to pay 1/2 costs

My property has been damaged by neighbouring trees, on land owned by a business.
After months of debate, their loss adjuster has offered to pay only a fraction (well, about 50%) of the cost of carrying out repairs.
I provided quotations which are much higher than the figure they have quoted, as a maximum.
I even asked them if they had this figure in mind, could they give me a name of a builder who could do it at that price, they simply replied saying they do not offer this sort of information.
What can i do ?
I have never had to get a car repaired (touching wood) but I know in that sort of case the insurance company will take the car away to their chosen garage, carry out the repairs and that's that.

I think you need to have your own structural surveyor provide a report. Have you spoken to your own insurance company? They should be able to help - especially if you have legal cover.0

No insurance, as I own an extra garage which is not actually at my home0
