Home Repair Network Limited: claims management and building repair in the UK

Home Repair Network Limited (HRNL) presents itself as an independent contractor manager specialising in the UK property damage industry. The company coordinates its own networks of locally approved surveyors, tradespeople and building repair contractors to provide swift services to insurers, MGAs, brokers and individual homeowners. Its activity combines accurate and impartial claims validation and settlement with access to a managed repair service when requested by the customer.

Services for property damage claims

The company covers a range of repair needs, including inspection and surveying, general building repairs, tiling and decorating, roofing, water damage restoration, glazing, kitchen and bathroom repairs, and garage door replacement. It also includes scaffolding and disaster restoration and mitigation. HRNL handles both domestic and commercial property claims and works in collaboration with its sister company, Commercial Building Repair Network (CBRN), to offer national coverage.

Claims validation and network of local contractors

HRNL's model is based on accurate and impartial claims validation and settlement, together with the management of a network of approved local contractors and tradespeople. The company maintains that there is a gap in the property repair market for a professional and swift service that manages low-complexity claims using local businesses and professionals. Its stated aim is to streamline the appointment of a local contractor, validate the damage, prepare a suitable budget and carry out the repair by dealing directly with approved and verified local contractors across the UK. HRNL states that the use of local contractors, combined with digital technology, can reduce claims resolution times and improve customer service.
