I wonder if anyone can give an opinion on this?:
Last summer we had a really hot spell then some rain and one of the glass roof panels in our dining room fell in. We called a guy out to fix it and he said he'd been aware a bunch of similar issues recently and explained that the heat was causing the plastic to move and when it rained water was getting in a providing lubrication for the glass to slide out. So we put in an insurance claim and they refused to pay out. We've argued back and forth with them but are getting nowhere and we are now about to contact the ombudsman.
Do we have a claim? If not, then what on earth is insurance for?
Cheers.
