Insurance repair work we cover
From make-safe to final sign-off, under one roof
An insurance claim is stressful enough without chasing three tradies, a loss adjuster and your property manager separately – all while your home sits damaged. Most people end up project-managing the repair themselves, with no one taking responsibility for the whole job. We take that off your plate: respond within one working day, get the property safe, prepare the scope your insurer needs, and carry out the reinstatement under one roof.
Storm & weather damage
Auckland weather does not hold back – lifted roofing, water ingress through ceilings, fallen branches through fences and decking, blown-out cladding. We get the property weathertight first, then document the damage and repair it properly so it does not come back at the next downpour. Make-safe first, full repair second, both documented for your claim.
Water damage & burst pipes
A burst pipe or a slow leak can wreck gib, flooring and cabinetry before you even spot it, and trapped moisture turns into mould if it is not dried out properly. We stop the source, dry the structure out, strip what is beyond saving, and reinstate the affected rooms – the cause and the damage, not just the surface.
Fire & smoke reinstatement
Fire damage is rarely just what burned – smoke and soot travel through the whole house, and water from putting it out causes its own damage. We secure the site, scope the full extent of the loss with your insurer, and reinstate the property back to how it was before – structure, surfaces and finishes.
Accidental & impact damage
A car through the garage wall, a foot through the ceiling, a smashed window, a cracked benchtop – accidental damage claims are common and usually need a single trade or two coordinated quickly. We assess, quote to your insurer, and repair it cleanly, with a fast turnaround on single-event claims.
Emergency make-safe
When the property is not safe or secure, the first job is to stop it getting worse – tarping a roof, boarding broken windows, isolating power or water, propping a compromised structure. We prioritise make-safe and document everything for your claim. Safe, sanitary, secure and weathertight – the four things make-safe has to achieve.
Scope of works & insurer quotes
The scope of works lists every item of repair your claim covers – it is what the cost is agreed against before any work starts. We prepare a detailed, line-by-line scope your insurer or loss adjuster can review, so the final invoice matches what was approved. A clear scope means fewer surprises and a smoother claim for everyone.
Interior reinstatement
Replacing damaged gib, repainting, re-laying flooring, refitting kitchens and joinery, reinstating ceilings and skirtings – the inside work that returns a room to how it looked before the damage. We coordinate every trade so you are not chasing painters, floorers and plasterers separately.
Exterior & structural repairs
Roofing, cladding, decking, fencing, retaining and structural framing damaged by an insured event. Restricted building work is carried out under a Licensed Building Practitioner, and consent is arranged where the repair requires it. Larger rebuilds are handled with our sister brand Superior Renovations.

For landlords & property managers
Insurance claims for landlords and property managers
A damaged rental is a vacant rental, and vacancy costs you money every week. We prioritise make-safe and a fast scope so the claim can move, the tenancy can resume, and your property is not sitting empty any longer than it has to. We coordinate directly with you, the tenant and the property manager so you are not the go-between, arrange access around the tenancy, and work to your insurer scope – one scope, one point of contact, one set of paperwork for the tenancy and the insurer.

FAQs
Insurance repair FAQs – Auckland homeowners & landlords
Can I choose my own contractor for insurance repairs in New Zealand?
It depends on your policy and how the claim is settled. If your insurer runs a managed repair, they may use their own panel of builders. But if the claim is cash-settled, you are generally free to choose your own contractor and get your own quotes. Many insurers will cash-settle if you ask to use your own tradespeople. Check with your insurer which option applies to your claim – and if you can choose, we are happy to provide a quote and scope of works for them to review.
Do you deal directly with my insurer or loss adjuster?
Yes. We prepare a detailed scope of works and quote for your insurer or loss adjuster, and work to the scope that is agreed. You do not have to act as the go-between on the building side – we keep the technical side of the claim moving so you can focus on getting your property back.
What is a scope of works and why does it matter?
A scope of works is a line-by-line list of every repair item your claim covers. It is what the repair cost is agreed against before any work begins, so the final invoice matches what was approved. A clear, detailed scope means fewer surprises, fewer disputes, and a smoother claim for you and your insurer.
What does make-safe mean and how fast can you do it?
Make-safe is the urgent work that stops the damage getting worse and makes the property safe, sanitary, secure and weathertight – tarping a roof, boarding windows, isolating power or water, or propping a compromised structure. We respond within one working day and prioritise make-safe for unsafe or insecure properties. Talk to your insurer before any non-urgent repairs, but urgent make-safe can usually go ahead first.
Do you handle water damage from burst pipes and leaks?
Yes. We stop the source, dry the structure out properly to prevent mould, strip out anything beyond saving, and reinstate the affected rooms – gib, flooring, cabinetry and finishes. Trapped moisture is the part most people miss, so we deal with the cause and the damage, not just the visible surface.
Can you repair storm damage to roofing and cladding?
Yes. We get the property weathertight first with make-safe, then carry out the full repair to roofing, cladding, decking, fencing and structural framing. Restricted building work is done under a Licensed Building Practitioner, and we arrange consent where the repair requires it.
Do you work with property managers on rental insurance claims?
Yes, regularly. We coordinate access around the tenancy, keep you and the property manager updated, prioritise make-safe and a fast scope so the tenancy can resume, and provide documentation for both the tenancy file and the insurer. A damaged rental is a vacant rental, so we work to get it back in use as quickly as the claim allows.
What if the damage needs major rebuilding, not just repairs?
If the claim turns into a larger renovation or full rebuild, we bring in our sister brand Superior Renovations so the work stays within the one group. You still deal with one team, and the scope, consent and build are handled end to end.
