  • A SafeGuard valuation provides you with proof of ownership and value to enable any insurance claim to be settled quickly and with the minimum of fuss for a replacement piece of equivalent value.

    The SafeGuard Service - Simple, Straightforward, High Quality, Good Value

    All items submitted to SafeGuard for valuation are given a unique identity number. Digital photographs are taken of each piece and it is then examined in detail by an expert SafeGuard valuer. Using a combination of experience and the latest scientific equipment the valuer compiles a comprehensive and individual written description including weight, size, special features and value. The photographs and information are then printed onto high quality stationery and the valuation document is placed into an individual folder. All this information is permanently stored on SafeGuard’s secure national database, providing you, the police and your insurer with proof of your ownership. Should any items be lost or stolen, details are posted on the loss register, which can be accessed by the police and then tracked back to the owner if they are subsequently recovered.
