Frequently Asked Questions
Barn conversions are disused agricultural buildings that are converted into residential dwellings or commercial space. They make use of existing structures which can be more environmentally friendly and cost-effective than a new build.
These conversions have become very popular in recent years as a way to repurpose existing and sometimes historic structures and create unique living spaces that blend modern convenience with traditional character.
We insure converted barns that incorporate traditional materials or those that have opted to blend the old with the very modern, for example using steel frames, bi-fold doors or eco technology. All types of construction will be considered including:
Box construction barns – the four walls of the building support the entire structure
Cruck framed barns – internal timber A-frames provide structural support for the walls and the roof
Post and truss barns – vertical timber frame posts support the roof weight
Yes we can cover barn conversions that are used as holiday or second homes, but as with all insurance quotes there are many different elements and circumstances to consider. Make sure you include that you use this property as a holiday home in your quote so this can be properly assessed.
We offer several additional coverage options to provide comprehensive protection for barn conversions. These include accidental damage cover, legal expenses, and coverage for valuable personal property, among others. Our team can help you customise a policy that perfectly fits your needs.
