Technical-Led Property Claims.

Construction Authority | QS Precision | Policy Expertise

At Claims Assist, we provide a Technical Authority that standard assessors cannot match. Our service is built on decades of on-site Construction Management, academic Quantity Surveying (QS) expertise, and professional Insurance Institute accreditation.

Note: Technical assessments are based on professional on-site investigation of accessible areas and non-invasive forensic moisture detection. Where hidden structural damage or environmental contamination is suspected, we coordinate with our network of Chartered Engineers and Remediation Specialists for definitive certification.

Holding the Certified Diploma in Loss Adjusting (C.Dip LA), we possess the specialist insurance knowledge required to liaise and negotiate with your insurer’s adjusters on a peer-to-peer level. We don’t just report damage; we use our building authority to deconstruct your claim, ensuring every repair is technically justified and every clause of your policy is leveraged to secure your full settlement.

From our specialised claims hubs, we provide elite representation across Galway, Dublin, Limerick, Mayo, Clare, Tipperary, Kildare, and Roscommon. We ensure your rebuild is backed by irrefutable engineering evidence and professional Quantity Surveying (QS) logic. We don’t just assess damage; we technically deconstruct it to ensure you receive your full policy entitlement.

John Mannion:

40 Years of Construction, Surveying & Insurance Authority

While Claims-Assist was officially established in July 2009, our technical foundation was built over four decades. Upon completing his technical studies in college, John Mannion began his professional career on-site, applying his technical training to major residential and commercial projects across Ireland and the UK.

By the 1980s and 90s, this combination of an academic foundation and intensive on-site experience led to key project management and design-and-build roles from Canary Wharf in London—at the time, Europe’s largest and most complex building site – to major residential projects in Ireland.

Today, Claims Assist specialises exclusively in Home Insurance property damage claims. We provide a depth of technical expertise that sets us apart by incorporating professional Quantity Surveying (QS) methodologies into our assessment process. This ensures every residential claim we manage is backed by the same costing precision and structural insight required on major international developments.

The Technical “Triple-Threat”

Standard insurance loss assessors simply cannot match our three-pillar approach:

• Construction Expertise: A Diploma in Construction Studies & Building Management, followed by a lifelong career managing high-level residential and commercial developments.

• Surveying & Financial Precision: Academic Quantity Surveying (QS) expertise provides forensic, market-accurate costings. We ensure your settlement reflects real-world 2026 rebuild rates.

• Insurance Authority: As Certified Insurance Practitioners (CIP) and holders of the Certified Diploma in Loss Adjusting (C.Dip LA), we are members of the Insurance Institute of Ireland, operating at the highest level of professional accreditation.

Regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, we ensure that your property claim is handled with total transparency, integrity, and regulatory compliance. By choosing Claims Assist, you are hiring 40 years of hard-earned building authority to protect your home.
