Why Specialist Renovation Insurance Is Important
Home renovations and building works pose unique risks—structural changes, unoccupied periods, and building materials on-site can leave you under-insured or even void your existing policy.
Failing to inform your insurer of such changes can result in denied claims or the invalidation of your cover. Renovation & Construction Home Insurance bridges that gap, protecting your property when it’s most vulnerable.
What This Specialist Insurance Protects
Our tailored policy safeguards your property and project throughout the building phase, with cover that may include the items below. When your project is finished, your policy transitions smoothly back to standard home insurance—no lapse, no hassle.
- Existing structures, including all works in progress
- Building materials, fixtures, tools, and equipment kept on site
- Public liability protection if someone is injured on site
- Unoccupied property cover when your home is empty during works
