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.
