Building Works & Renovations

What is building works insurance?

If you are planning to carry out building works or renovations at your property you may find your existing household insurance policy will not provide the necessary cover.

Building works (also known as home renovation or building renovation) insurance provides cover in case something was to go wrong whilst having works done at your property.

You are likely to need a specialist policy if the works mean your property will not be lived in for a substantial period, the works are extensive or there will be expensive equipment and materials kept at the property.

What does it cover?

Unoccupied property cover – This covers your home for more than the 30 or 60 days offered by standard household insurance policies if you need to move out of your home whilst the works are under way.

Property Owner’s Liability – This covers the cost of any legal claims made against you if someone is injured on your property.

Alternative accommodation – This covers the cost of alternative accommodation if your property is damaged by the works, and you need to live elsewhere.

Building material and equipment – This covers the materials and equipment kept at the property, including items that have not yet been fitted like kitchen units

“Excellent customer service, extremely knowledgable”

“Adam took the time to understand my business, its current activities and our plans for the future. He used this information to make me aware of the value of various insurance products beyond the Professional Indemnity Insurance I had originally sought and helped me understand the value to my business of each without ever pushing me to procure anything. He responded quickly to all my queries and ensured I had a full understanding of each insurance product. I highly recommend Adam's services, particularly to rapidly growing businesses.”

“Great company Great employees”

“We have dealt with Darren at Hayes Parsons for many years and the services he has given has been second to none. Working in the very fast paced environment of marine civil engineering, with equipment and vessels being on and off hired at very short notice, Darren has never let us down in procuring cover for tricky to insure specialist marine equipment in a very time sensitive manner.”
