We Cover What Mainstream Insurers Won’t
Construction-Specific Rejection
Many standard insurers use automated systems that “auto-decline” anything that isn’t brick and tile. We don’t. Our panel understands the nuances of specialist materials, from modern eco-builds to historic timber frames.
Non-Standard Materials
From wattle and daub to prefabricated concrete, if it’s “unusual,” we’re interested.
Flat Roofs
Whether it’s felt, timber, or eco-green, we provide robust protection where others see “risk.”
Timber & Steel Frames
Specialist cover for modern methods of construction and heritage builds.
