Our Services

When we take out insurance we hope to never have to make a claim. If you do suffer loss or theft, however, and have to make a claim, it can be a protracted and painful process. So having accurate and good quality images of your valuables will make the process much more straightforward. 

Insurance companies and Government bodies strongly advise keeping good records of your valuables just in case you ever need to make a claim. This means keeping receipts, validation certificates and valuations somewhere safe along with your policy documents. They also recommend taking photographs showing the condition of your valuables. 

How we can help 

We offer bespoke services to our clients by providing photographic evidence of your precious items to help authenticate an insurance claim. This could involve taking photos of valuations or receipts – whatever you think will help to validate your claim. 

How we work 

  • We take images in your own home so that items never leave your care 
  • All our photographers are DBS (formerly CRB) background checked 
  • You will receive a Unique Customer Reference Number to identify your images 
  • We will store your images in two fi re proof safes in different locations isolated from the internet 
  • If you need the images we will supply them to you or to your insurer 

Service contracts 

We recommend that your precious items are photographed on a regular basis, especially when you have something new that needs to be insured. This involves setting up a service contract, which is usually either annual or six monthly and, if you pay by Direct Debit, we’ll give you a 5% discount on your first year. 

Photo books 

Serious collectors might like to capture their collection and the stories behind their valuables in a photo book – as a keepsake or as something to hand down to their families. It might be for a special anniversary or event. If you are interested in this additional service, please let us know and we will be happy to help. 

Win a unique print 

We’re offering all our customers the chance to win a special print worth £140. The winner will receive a large, high quality print of a picture of their choice from their image bank of valuables. All you have to do is register your details here.
