Renovation Plan
How can we help you and your clients?
We work with both brokers and direct clients because we know both worlds and have a market-leading scheme ready to support renovators across the UK. Our online broker portal allows you to provide a quote for your clients in a matter of minutes, choosing from our three levels of cover.
What is renovation insurance?
If your client is undertaking a renovation or conversion, they will likely need a specialist insurance policy. We find that many in this position aren’t even aware that they need this and rely either on their household policy or that of their contractors.
What types of projects are covered?
With three levels of cover catering for large and small projects, along with a passionate team, we’re confident we can provide cover for your client’s project. Here’s a snapshot of what we can cover, but if it’s not listed please do get in touch with the team and we can talk through your client’s project and how you will need to insure it.
Projects covered:
- Renovations
- Extensions
- Conversions
- New builds
- Self-builds
- Restorations
- Contract works
What are the core features of the insurance?
- Covers your client’s Existing Structure & New Works
- Flexible cover periods to fit the length of their project, from 3-36 months. Policies are extendable, and refundable (subject to no claims)
- Includes Public Liability
- Three cover options including Restricted Perils, Wider Perils, and All Risks
- Residential / commercial properties
- Occupied and unoccupied properties
- Joint Names cover available when required
- Non-Negligent Liability as an optional extra with our Premier Plus policy
