Commercial Storm Damage Claims – If your business suffers storm damage, the consequences include stifling trade and risking future operations.

Remember the loss adjuster is not independent, they are NOT on your side - their job is to minimise your payout.

Oakleafe will take control of your commercial storm damage claim to protect YOU and your business.

Here’s what one of our satisfied clients had to say:
"My claim was made so much easier after I contacted Oakleafe. The came out the same day to see me and I felt at last something was going to be done, and it was. My insurance company were totally incompetent and if I hadn't engaged Oakleafe things would have taken much longer and I am sure I would have been out of pocket. The company Oakleafe engaged to do the work once it was authorised were second to none. Good quality work, very good, and done on time with no mess which was much appreciated by our neighbours. If anything like this ever happens again or I know of anyone in a similar situation I will have no hesitation in calling these people in again. The staff at Oakleafe were also sympathetic and professional." - Eric Bennett, Oakleafe client on TrustPilot

We’ve just received our final payment from the claim and we are really pleased. I would happily recommend them.

Commercial storm damage insurance provides coverage for damage to business properties caused by various storm events, including wind, hail, lightning, and severe weather conditions.
It typically covers damage caused by high winds, hail, lightning strikes, tornadoes, and sometimes even hurricanes. Coverage includes damage to the building structure, signage, equipment, and inventory.
Document the damage with photos and detailed notes. Contact your insurance provider promptly to report the damage. An insurance adjuster will assess the damage, and you'll need to submit all necessary documentation and estimates for repairs.
