Restoring Properties After Fire, Flood and Storm Damage
Warvena Construction carries out insurance building repairs and reinstatement across Cornwall for homes and commercial properties damaged by fire, flood, storm or escape of water.
We work alongside homeowners, businesses, insurers and loss adjusters to restore properties safely and professionally. From the first inspection to the final finish, you'll deal with one experienced team and receive clear communication throughout the project.
What We Repair
Fire & Smoke Damage
We carry out strip-out, structural repairs, rebuilding, plastering, decorating and complete reinstatement following fire and smoke damage.
Flood & Water Damage
From escape of water and flooding to drying, repairs and full reinstatement, we restore properties once they're ready for rebuilding.
Storm Damage
We repair roofs, external structures, masonry and other storm-damaged areas, returning your property to a safe and weatherproof condition.
Impact Damage
Whether caused by vehicles, falling trees or accidental structural damage, we carry out the repairs needed to restore your property.
Structural & Subsidence Repairs
Where movement or structural damage has occurred, we complete the necessary repairs and reinstatement to return the building to a safe condition.
Our Insurance Reinstatement Process
Every insurance repair is different, but our approach remains the same.
Assessment We inspect the damage and agree the scope of works with you, your insurer or loss adjuster.
Make Safe The property is secured, and damaged materials are removed where necessary.
Repairs Once drying and investigations are complete, we carry out structural repairs and reinstatement.
Finishing Works Plastering, joinery, decorating and final finishes are completed by our experienced team.
Project Completion We hand the property back ready to be occupied, with repairs completed to a high standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work directly with insurance companies?
This depends on the project and the claim process. We can provide repair work for clients, landlords, property managers, and commercial property owners, and we can work alongside other parties involved in the claim where required.
Can you repair both the external damage and internal finishes?
Yes, where the work falls within our scope. For example, roof-related damage may involve external repairs as well as internal ceiling, plastering, joinery, or decoration work.
Do you handle fire and flood damage?
Yes. Fire and flood repairs need careful sequencing because the visible damage is only part of the issue. Smoke, moisture, damaged materials, and hidden defects may all need to be considered before reinstatement.
Can you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Insurance and remedial repairs can be carried out for commercial and managed properties, including hospitality, rental, and business premises.
Why should repairs not be rushed?
Rushed reinstatement work risks problems being covered up rather than properly resolved — damp that isn't fully dried, hidden damage that isn't fully assessed, or finishes applied over an unstable base. Properly sequenced repair work takes the time the damage actually requires, which protects both the long-term condition of the property and the validity of the work carried out under your claim.
Are you insurance-approved building contractors?
Warvena works as insurance building contractors in Cornwall, carrying out reinstatement for homeowners, landlords, property managers and commercial owners — working alongside your insurer and loss adjuster on the claim where required.
