Managed Services

Service Solutions Direct have a robust infrastructure that is focused on delivering a quality service to both our clients and their policyholders. When managing a claim, our focus is on reducing claims lifecycle and cost while ensuring the customer is treated fairly and has a high level of satisfaction.

Outsourced Claims Management

Service Solutions Direct provide a comprehensive claims management capability. Our directly employed, experienced surveyors undertake all site surveys and maintain responsibility for a claim from inception through to completion. The surveyor is accountable for the claim and focuses on providing a personalised and efficient claims service.

Cost is controlled as we create a clear separation between the scoping of works and the fulfilment of works. A Service Solutions Direct surveyor will scope works and provide a pre-priced schedule to a Tradesmen Solutions contractor, ensuring that the scope and cost of a claim is managed within a tightly controlled environment.
