Home Renovation Insurance You Can Trust
Do You Need Home Renovation Insurance?
Home Renovation Insurance protects your building and contents against financial loss. To clarify, this cover is for the buildings and contents only. That is to say it does not usually mean the works are covered. Although we can insure contractor works if requested under a specialist policy. Normally if you are doing the renovation yourself it will be excluded from insurance.
Unquestionably, you will need Renovation Insurance if you are doing structural works to your property. Whereas painting and cosmetic work may be covered under some policies, anything more is likely to require specific refurbishment insurance. So, if you are having a new bathroom, windows, extension or loft conversion, you will need to buy a new policy that permits the work. Any cost of renovation can be insured.
A-Rated Insurers
In short, we boast a panel of A-rated insurers, including Aviva, Axa, Channel and HSB Engineering. That is to say we compare Home Renovation Insurance for you. However, not all policies are the same or equal. Therefore, you should read all offers of insurance carefully. Additionally, most of our policies can be cancelled when the works complete and a refund less a £35 fee will be paid back. If you update your insurance and stay with us, then no fee is charged.
Renovation Insurance With Works Cover
While most Home Renovation Insurance policies will cover the building and contents, it is worth noting the works are almost always excluded. Of course, this is explained by the contractors taking liability for their own actions. To explain, if they damage your property then it will be their insurance that pays to fix it.
On the negative side, even if your contractor supplies their own all risk liability insurance, it does not always mean it is in force. On the contrary, many contractors will buy the cheapest insurance possible and potentially leave you exposed. Have you ever seen Cowboy Builders on the TV?
Together with HSB Engineering we are able to offer full with works insurance. Correspondingly, you can rest assured your policy is top quality. Balanced against this comprehensive policy is the fact it is higher cost. What’s more, it is sold in 6 or 12-month terms without any refund if finished early.
