Hi,
I had a small fire in my house and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. My range cooker, which is run on oil, blew up and went on fire. The only physical damage done is to the actual cooker itself and maybe the flooring around it. The house was full of smoke and there's soot everywhere. The cooker is 19 years old so I presume that will be taken in to account. It is however my central heating and needs to be removed from the house due to the toxic fumes and replaced by perhaps a burner outside. The assessor is coming tomorrow and I was hoping I might get some pointers in what I should say or shouldn't say. I obviously would like get reimbursed for the fire brigade, electrician and plumber. Would I be able to get my now filthy and smelly carpet in the hall cleaned? It is approx. 11 months old. Also, when the cooker is removed, I'll be left with that big gap in the kitchen and pipework from where it was, leading in to the adjacent hopress. Does anyone know what else I should point out as I really don't know where to start. Thanks in advance.
