“Darren is like an oxygen tank – he shows up exactly when we needed him most! . We’ve unfortunately had two separate situations with leaks at our home, and both times it was complete panic. We didn’t know where to start, and when we tried to go through the insurance company ourselves, it quickly became complicated and time-consuming. With both me and my wife working flat out (and juggling three teenagers at home! ), it was just another layer of stress we really didn’t need. Then Darren stepped in – and honestly, he just took all of that noise away. Within a handful of conversations, he’d understood everything and taken control. He handled all the back-and-forth with the insurance company and made the whole process completely stress-free for us. What really stood out is that he genuinely made sure we got everything we were entitled to. Without him, I’m certain we would have missed a lot and likely ended up paying for things ourselves. On top of that, Darren is just a genuinely great person – approachable, respectful, and incredibly accommodating. You instantly feel like you’re in safe hands. With Darren, you don’t have to worry about anything. He takes it all on – no hassle, no stress, no arguments with insurers. If you’re ever in that situation, give Darren the opportunity to represent you. He will absolutely make sure you get what you deserve. Without question, the best loss adjuster I’ve ever worked with. .”

“S A Loss Assesors worked extremely hard on my claim. They kept us updated on a regular basis and provided a very professional service. They liased with the other parties on our behalf and dealt with issues promptly. All emails, phone calls and communication was carried out by our loss assessor Daren and he did an amazing job. Great value for money. Thank you S A loss Assessors.”

Great to work with Darren and his team, whose attention to detail and supportive approach were hugely appreciated. I was very happy with the outcomes achieved. I would definitely hire SA Loss Assessors again.
Great service am so happy with everything.
I live in a ground floor flat, had a leak in my flat from the flats above. My entire flat was ruined I had just purchased, redecorated and moved in after 12 months the leak caused damaged. I was recommended SA by friends the service was fantastic from start to finish. The claim took months however the stress was taken away by SA they did all the calls, emails and reports. Kept me updated at every stage. I am now repairing my flat, thank you so much Darren.
Excellent service thank you.
We had a leak and put in a claim through our insurance and Darren from SA Loss Assessors was recommended to me to handle the claim as the leak I had was quite huge. Darren came round promptly and did his checks and said he will take the claim on and he really took all the stress off the paperwork and speaking to the Insurance company along with the insurance company loss adjuster. He did an excellent job at negotiating with the insurance company and got me the payout that was needed to fix everything up whereas if I had done this on my own I probably would have accepted the figure that was put forward without any negotiation. I would recommend Darrent to anyone who has a claim and wants the stress taken away with dealing with the insurance company or loss adjuster. Darren will also go out of his way to help with anything else that may be needed. .
Darren has been excellent from start to finish with his ownership, communication and experience He taken all the stress out of the situation, work diligently and effectively and got the complex claim settled for us that enables us to complete all the works Strongly recommend using his servirs.
We would highly recommend Darren, we had a stress free claim thanks to his knowledge and patience. He kept us updated throughout the process and took the time to explain anything we didn’t understand.
Darren was an absolute pleasure to work with from the start of the claim to the resolution. When we found an issue with our boiler pressure, Darren advised that there must have been a leak somewhere in our property and to notify our Insurers as such. Darren was instrumental in maintaining a level head during this stressful time for us, and critically analysed the correct way forward at each stage and liaised with our insurance company, ultimately securing a suitable settlement once the leak was located and repaired. I would not hesitate to recommend Darren to anyone who requires claim assistance.
Darren was excellent in communication and was really helpful throughout the whole process I am very happy that I have chosen S A Loss Assessors.
Darren is worthwhile employing. Hes professional and he’s calm, and he knows what he’s talking about, and more importantly, you’ll get you a much better settlement.
I don’t usually write reviews , but it would be a crime if I didn’t give Darren the praise he deserves. I usually stay away from claim companies but after reading already glowing reviews online, I took a punt. I had a burst water pipe and had extensive damage. I knew I wouldn’t get anywhere with my insurance company so I asked Darren to take over. He was extremely professional throughout and kept me informed of any progress that was being made. Not only did the insurance company payout in record time, I received an amount that I could only dream of. If I would’ve dealt with the claim myself, then I’m sure I would have probably received half if not less. I can’t thank Darren enough for all his efforts and hard work. He was literally a god send.
Darren managed to complete an ongoing insurance claim (that was causing us untold stress and frustration) in just 3 months from coming on board. He is simply brilliant and we cannot thank him enough for his professionalism, expertise and reassuring nature.
My wife and I have nothing but praise for SA Loss Assessors, - our assessor, Darren Hourican, delivered on every count and beyond - on a service level was extremely professional, we felt immediately comfortable with him and that we were in safe hands, his communication was key - only did so when necessary, alleviating much of the stress and aggravation we would have additionally encountered. His knowledge of the industry is second to none and we were given some very good advice. His continuous persistence with our largely ignorant, unprofessional and 'negligent appearing' insurance company paid off in the end. The result was was beyond anything we had expected and cannot thank SALA enough. A real pleasure to have had somebody of that ilk represent us. We are extremely satisfied so recommendations are going to be unavoidable, credit to you Darren. I don't think I have ever given an outstanding review before, truly excellent value for money! Many many thanks, Will and Jo.
Excellent service and reliable.
We had a building claim after a break-in in November 2022. Darren and his team were helping us on the loss assessment and claim service. An excellent service by S A Loss Assessors! From the start to end, Darren from S A Loss Assessors keeping us in the loop and providing regular update. He has a good eye and well experienced in this area, we are very pleased with his service, his professional advice and guidance. I will highly recommend Darren and his team at S A Loss Assessors.
