Property Renovation Insurance FAQ

Property renovation insurance can be a complex area of cover, so to help you get the protection you need, here are the answers to some frequently asked questions:

Generally speaking, no, a standard home insurance policy will only cover minor works such as redecorating and other DIY jobs.  It’s worth checking with your home insurance provider, as policies differ though

Your insurer will want to know you are having work done and will probably ask you:

 

  • The extent of the work
  • The cost of the work
  • How long will the job take
  • Who is doing the work, and whether they have public liability insurance in place
  • Whether the property will be left empty while the work is done
