Why do I need a contents catalogue?

An itemised, photographed inventory provides the evidence your insurer needs to validate contents claims and ensures no affected item is overlooked.

How do you decide if an item is restorable?

We assess each item based on material porosity, contamination level, structural integrity and the type of damage sustained.

Is every item photographed?

Yes. We photograph each affected item and its condition, creating a visual record that supports the written catalogue and your insurance claim.

What is an itemised schedule?

A documented list of every affected item with its condition, assessment outcome (restorable or unsalvageable) and supporting photographs.

Do you catalogue contents for insurance claims?

Yes. The catalogue is prepared to insurance-reporting standards so it can be submitted directly with your contents claim.

Can you catalogue contents after a fire?

Yes. We assess and catalogue fire- and smoke-affected contents, documenting soot contamination, odour and salvageability for each item.

What about water-damaged contents?

Yes. We catalogue water-affected items, noting saturation, contamination category and whether each item can be dried and restored.

Do you handle high-value or sentimental items?

Yes. High-value and sentimental items are individually assessed, photographed and prioritised for restoration where possible.

How long does contents cataloguing take?

It depends on the volume of contents, but we work efficiently to complete the catalogue so restoration and claim processing can proceed.

Will I receive a copy of the catalogue?

Yes. You receive the full itemised schedule with photographs and assessment outcomes for your records and your insurer.

How does cataloguing link to contents restoration?

The catalogue drives the restoration plan — restorable items are cleaned, deodorised and stored, while unsalvageable items are documented and disposed of compliantly.
