Home insurance for renovations and building works

When it comes to finding low-cost renovation insurance, you might struggle. Many standard insurers view properties undergoing extensive building work or renovations as ‘high risk’ and therefore raise their premiums.

What Are The Risks of Home Renovation?

While revamping your property might be an exciting (if not slightly stressful) time, it’s not without risks.

  • When you knock down walls or rip up floors, structural damage to your home may occur. Renovation insurance helps to protect against unforeseen incidences that could potentially put you out of pocket.

  • Imagine if a water pipe bursts. This can cause serious damage as can other incidences such as an electrical fire. Again, the right insurance policy will give you peace of mind during the renovation process.

  • Building materials left outside a property can attract opportunist criminals. What’s more, if your tradesmen aren’t security conscious, spare keys may go missing and doors may be left accidentally unlocked threatening the security of your home. Scaffolding can also provide easier access to upstairs windows.

  • If your property resembles a building site, there’s a higher risk of accident and injury to the public, which is why specialist insurance is so essential.

Do I Really Need Renovation Insurance?

Many home insurance policies do not cover building and renovation work including extensions. For this reason, it’s really important to take out specialist renovation insurance that not only protects your property and assets but also protects you against the various risks involved, with public liability cover often being a top consideration.

Policies vary, but our job is to find a quote that best suits your requirements.

It’s also worth remembering that buildings works are likely to increase the value of your property and you may need to increase the level of insurance cover once the work has been completed.
