Call Your Insurer

The first step following a property fire is to contact your home or business premises insurance provider. Depending on the type of cover you have, your insurer should be happy to help in regards to finding temporary accommodation while your home or business premises is being renovated as well as assisting with the initial steps needed to get your damaged property and its contents cleaned and restored.

Many insurance providers will also ask you to make a detailed list or inventory of all the belongings in property and their value. These items will either be replaced or their monetary value will paid in due course.
