4 Oaks Close – East Sussex Residential Insurance Reinstatement Project

Project Title

East Sussex Residential Insurance Reinstatement Project following an Escape of Water

Overview

This project involved a comprehensive insurance reinstatement for a residential property in East Sussex, following significant water damage caused by an escape of water from a water tank in the loft.

Benning Brothers Ltd were successful in securing the project via a competitive tender process which involved the strip out, enabling and full reinstatement of this family home — ensuring it was restored to a high standard, both structurally and aesthetically.

Project Details

• Location: East Sussex
• Project Type: Insurance Reinstatement (Escape of Water)
• Duration: 12 Weeks

Our Approach

As with all insurance reinstatement projects, our process began with full strip-out and enabling works. This crucial initial phase allowed us to:

• Remove all water-damaged materials and fixtures
• Identify the full extent of the damage
• Prepare the property for reinstatement works

Following the strip-out and enabling process, we carried out detailed surveys and reports to ascertain the extent of the damage. These reports highlighted the need for replacement of essential infrastructure such as electrical wiring, plumbing, and life safety. This phase of the reinstatement allows us to bring the property up to current building regulations.

The project then progressed to the decorative reinstatement phase, where the property truly came back to life. This stage provided an opportunity for the homeowner to personalise and enhance their living space. In this instance, the client opted for a kitchen upgrade, significantly improving the overall appearance and functionality of the home.

Thanks to careful planning and efficient project management, the works were completed within the agreed 12-week schedule, meeting all client expectations.

The Outcome

We are extremely pleased with the successful completion of this East Sussex project. Through strong communication, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality, the Benning Brothers team delivered:

• High-quality reinstatement works
• Timely completion in line with the project schedule
• Enhanced living spaces through client-led upgrades

The property was restored to a comfortable, functional, and visually appealing family home — allowing the occupants to return with confidence and satisfaction.
