Hi,

Last night a third of a large tree fell and broke about 30 feet of post and
rail fence.

Would this be covered by buildings insurance (repairing fence and removing
tree)?

If it is, have I any chance of getting the insurance company to pay for me
to dispose of the branch and repair the fence? I want to chop the wood for
firewood anyway. The branch is probably 2.5 to 3 feet in diameter and very
long and so I would have to purchase a larger chainsaw than I have now. I
was wandering whether the insurance company would be open to the suggestion
of contributing towards a chainsaw if I was to fix the mess.

Any similar experiences with insurance companies? (BTW the insurance company
is Direct Line).

TIA, Colin
