Daly Organs Ltd regularly undertakes insurance-related inspections and reports following damage to pipe organs caused by insured events. Common causes include fire, water ingress or flooding, storm damage, and vandalism, all of which can have serious consequences for both the mechanical and musical integrity of an instrument.
Following an incident, we can attend site to carry out a careful inspection of the organ, assessing the extent of visible and underlying damage. This includes consideration of pipework, actions, wind systems, electrical components and the wider environment affected by the event.
Where appropriate, we provide a clear written report outlining our findings, together with an itemised estimate for remedial works or restoration. This documentation is prepared to assist PCCs, insurers and loss adjusters in understanding the nature of the damage and the work required to return the instrument to safe and reliable use.
We are experienced in liaising with churches and insurers throughout this process and aim to provide practical, well-reasoned advice to support informed decisions and timely resolution.
