Harris Balcombe Avis 

I was placed in an unfortunate situation where the business had suffered a fire in 2018. I was also going through a tough period in life where my Father was very ill and the business and the property were deemed a total loss.

We were approached on the morning of the fire by Harris Balcombe introducing themselves and advised us that they could help us through the process dealing with insurers ensuring we don't suffer any losses from the fire.

I was introduced to Jeremy Balcombe and I am glad that our paths crossed. Jeremy is very knowledgeable individual in this industry and his connections are unrivalled. Whilst it was a very distressing time, Jeremy was on hand to deal with the Insurers and the appointed Loss Adjustors. This saved me a lot of time and a lot of stress in a time where I had to concentrate on getting on with business as best as we could.

Jonathon Samuelson of Harris Balcombe was introduced into the process a few weeks into the claim and he was an absolute star in assisting us too. His know how of how the insurers work, how the loss adjustors will look to save the insurers money and reduce their pay out was phenomenal.

Jeremy secured us a 7 figure pay out which ensured we could locate a new premises, set up our plant and get back to business in a timely fashion. We were up and running from our new site within 10 months and none of this would have been possible without Jeremy and his wonderful team.

If you're hesitant on using the services of Harris Balcombe in the unfortunate case of an insurance claim, please don't be as it will genuinely be one of the best decisions you make.

I'm surprised! I had a burglary at my house a few months ago and they emptied our house. With the help of harris balcombe wonderful service we were able to claim money from insurance and cover everything.
Just wonderful service around the clock for you.
Thanks Alex

My parents’ family business suffered a devastating fire in April 2021. Following this incident, we were introduced to Mark Burke of Harris Balcombe through Martin Gelder. Amongst the chaos and shock, coupled with what had already been an extremely difficult time due to my father’s ill health, appointing Mark to handle our case was the best decision we made.

Mark explained everything clearly and answered all our questions patiently. He is honest, diligent, and has kept us well informed throughout the entire process, which resulted in the building being restored.

His support and guidance, especially over the last 18 months, have been second to none. The care and dedication we received is something for which we will be forever grateful.

Thank you, Mark, and the team at Harris Balcombe.

Following a serious house fire we were introduced to Alex Balcombe of Harris Balcombe. At that stage we were in a state of shock and had no idea where to begin with everything that needed doing. We did not even know what a loss assessor was, and had no understanding of the process that lay ahead. From the start Alex explained everything clearly and answered all our questions patiently. We could always contact him with any queries and concerns. We have no idea how we would have managed without Alex`s help and support over the following 2 years. He made a very difficult situation as easy and pleasant as it could be.

I’ve used Harris Balcolme in the past when my insurers weren’t really playing fair. I met Mark Burke and I’d now consider him a life long friend and advisor. He was & is, honest, diligent, measured, a brilliant communicator and utterly thoughtful. I couldn’t recommend him enough and would be happy to take a call for a reference. Top chap, top company who delivered top result. Christian C

We selected Harris and Balcombe to assist with our insurance claim as they were recommended to us by a friend. We are extremely happy that we decided to go ahead and use their services. Our claim turned out to be rather complicated and if it hadn't been for the expertise and experience of Jeremy, I don't think we would have had the outcome that we did. Jeremy has been extremely supportive throughout the whole process and made a very stressful time much more manageable.

My home suffered a flood in 2021 and a friend introduced me to Alex Balcombe of Harris Balcombe. Alex helped navigate the entire process from initial contact with my insurance broker to lodging the claim, dealing with the insurers loss adjuster, the contractor appointed to carry out remedial works and management of the claim until satisfactory finalisation. Alex was extremely attentive to the detailed process, very quick to respond to my queries and achieved a fair settlement with the insurers for me. I would not have been able to achieve this without Alex.
I strongly recommend Alex and his firm Harris Balcombe

Harris Balcombe approached me after my commercial building burnt down. They had obviously done their homework and knew I might need help.

I was sceptical at first but in the end could not have achieved the financial settlement achieved without their expert advice.
I highly recommend their professional and practical approach.

We experienced a leak from a neighboring property causing major damage the Building Insurance said there is no chance we will receive anything. Alex stepped in dealt with this case efficiently we would never have managed without him taking care of the claim

Despite my misgivings of being approached within 8 hours of our house fire, I am so glad that we appointed Harris Balcombe to deal on our behalf with the nightmare that was our insurance company. Both Petar and Chris were honest and straightforward and gave good advice for the duration of our re-build which took almost a year. Without them , I feel that many corners would have been cut by the insurers which I would not have been aware of.

Our business was devastated by fire this year and we lost everything, but with the help of Harris Balcombe within 4 weeks our insurers had accepted liability and we were able to start over without losing all of our customers.
We cannot thank them enough, they saved our business.

Without the huge amount of assistance and advice we received from the people at Harris Balcombe I doubt our small family business would still be trading.
Following a devastating incident, which had nothing to do with us, but resulted in us losing absolutely everything: from all our equipment, machinery, IT, office furniture, files, stock as well as the actual building, Harris Balcombe picked up the pieces, relieved us of a lot of stress and took us, gently & professionally, through the most complex process which, eventually, helped us to rebuild our business again.
The care & dedication of all the staff throughout the whole company is unrivalled.
We will be forever grateful.
Thank you to all at Harris Balcombe

We had an excellent experience using Harris Balcombe. He was helpful, pleasant to deal with, consistent and very adept at getting us what we wanted - the maximum settlement from our insurers.

We had a claim and they helped us from beginning till the end with great advice and professionally we would definitely recommend them

I found the service I received from Alex Balcombe was exceptional. Alex response time was amazing and he took all the stress out of the situation we were in with a flood in our house with young children. He also had a lovely manner and was kind and considerate.

I'd managed to get through life without a large insurance claim until a fridge fire gutted our flat and caused smoke damage to the flats above. My lawyer recommended Alex Balcombe, and whilst I didn't fully understand the work of loss adjusters I realised during the process of the claim and the renovations, how specialised and important this role is. Alex was always responsive to any concerns, took full control of the claim and made the process very straightforward.

I have required the services of Harris Balcombe on 2 occasions to handle large insurance claims on our behalf (the first a store fire, the second a store flood).

I believe by using Harris Balcombe I was able to secure a full payout plus the maximum loss of profit that I incurred during the period of closure of both stores.

Jeremy, was efficient and knew all of the loss adjusters and opposing insurance representatives which ensured straightforward talking between all sides with no messing about whatsoever.

I’m fortunate to have a great relationship with my insurance broker, but I know that being represented by Harris Balcombe ensured the maximum payout I was due and was therefore worth every penny.

The joke is that I’ll never need to use their services ever again, but should it happen again when I need to submit an insurance claim, I’ll be straight on the phone to Harris Balcombe.

Alex to the rescue!
The water main burst in our neighbourhood which caused bad flooding in the ground floor of our house and total power loss for several days.

Alex was an absolute star in dealing with the various parties concerned. We were unaware of some of the potential conflicts with various people knocking on our door, but Alex managed the whole process.

He achieved a very fair and stress free result for us in what was a harrowing time and experience.

A burst water pipe under our house was catastrophic for our home and traumatic for our family. The healing began the moment we established contact with Harris Balcombe. It was long, complex journey to get our home back and we would not have made it without Alex Balcombe of Harris Balcombe fighting our corner every step of the way. When catastrophe strikes, Harris Balcombe are the best allies you and your family will ever have in getting back your home, your life and your happiness. Thanks for everything, Harris Balcombe.
