A couple of weeks ago we noticed a couple of large stains appear on our dining room ceiling. Unfortunately one of the pipes feeding our cistern in the bathroom had developed a leak. Plumber reckoned it was a slow drip that could have been going on years. The surveyors employed by our insurers estimate it will cost just over £2000 to remedy whilst the property management company recommended by the insurers reckon almost £3000. Just wondered if anyone had been in this situation. Do we suck it up and pay the excess or are our insurers likely to change their minds once they've seen the figures ? I suspect they won't but who knows... Any experience ?

Insurance company's estimate to repair the damage is over £1000 less than the builders. Where do we stand ?
