Looked at a job today where a burst pipe in the loft has soaked a bathroom and bedroom upstairs and most of the kitchen downstairs.
Problems are now shower not working, a few lights dead, cooker dead and damp socks no doubt.

I decided to go down the periodic route as there's never been one done, plus it'll give him an insight of what if any damage the water has done.

Just really asking if this is the route theat most others would of took, or would you have just replaced or fixed the odd light he had got you in there to do in the first place.
 
Are you sure that the house is totally dry? If water/moisture remains in the "fabric" of the house it could easily give you misleading results.
 
The insurance company authorised the inspection and any remedials with a £1500 total limit-any costs above this and an assessor has to be involved.
