Why Protected Buildings Need Specialist Insurance
Protected or listed buildings are often older, constructed with traditional materials, and subject to strict planning and restoration rules. These features can make standard insurance unsuitable. Risks include:
- Higher repair costs due to specialised materials and craftsmanship
- Requirement for listed-building consent for renovations
- Exposure to damage from weather, subsidence, or fire
- Unique legal and liability obligations
Dolmen’s experts understand these risks and work with insurers who specialise in protected and historic buildings, ensuring you get appropriate, reliable cover.
What Our Protected Building Insurance Covers
Our tailored policies typically include:
- Buildings & Contents Cover – including historic features and period fixtures
- Public Liability Protection – for accidents or injuries on your property
- Alternative Accommodation Cover – if damage makes your property uninhabitable
- Accidental Damage and Optional Cover – for valuables, personal possessions, and fine art
- Protection for renovations or maintenance in line with protected building regulations
We provide guidance on what’s essential, what’s optional, and how to balance risk with premium costs.
