Hi,
There was a break-in in my house and the burglars damaged the PVC
window and kitchen internal door. The window was fixed now but the
window repairer suggested to change the whole window unit as its
frame was also damaged. The internal door needs frame replacement.
I talked to an insurance repairer (found this company on the
internet) , he said he'll repair everything (window, door frame,
painting etc) and negotiate with the insurer and make the claim pass.
This process looks easy for me but I'm worried how much he will claim
from the insurer and how much my premium will go up next year.
Other option is to arrange window repairer and carpenter myself to
repair the stuff (do the painting bit myself) and send the receipts
to the insurer.
I don't know which option will be better for me as I've never
experience this situation. The insurance repairer said he has to repaint
all the kitchen when window is replaced and whole stairs and landing
area when the door frame is replaced.
I understand there will be a bit of painting needed, probably I can do it myself.
Can somebody please advise me what I should do here?
thanks in advance
