Questions
Why do I need specialist thatched property insurance?
Thatched roofs present unique risks requiring tailored underwriting. Specialist policies address fire hazards, rebuild costs, and listed building compliance that standard home insurance may exclude.
How much does thatched property insurance cost?
Premiums depend on property value, location, and heating systems. Thatched properties typically cost around 30% more to insure than tiled properties due to increased fire risks.
Can I get insurance for an unoccupied thatched property?
Yes, we offer unoccupied property insurance for periods exceeding 30 days. This coverage addresses risks associated with vacant buildings, including vandalism and weather damage.
What fire prevention advice do you provide?
We recommend regular chimney maintenance, electrical inspections, and safe use of woodburning stoves. Our guides include best practices for minimising fire risks in thatched properties.
Do you cover listed thatched buildings?
Yes, our policies accommodate listed buildings. We understand the need for specialist repairs and materials, ensuring coverage aligns with heritage requirements and conservation area regulations.
