I have an Oak Frame section of the house with Kingspan SIPs and on searching for a new Building's Insurance quote have come up against an unwillingness to quote as it is regarded as "an increased fire risk". Queried and went to a ''higher underwriter' but still the same answer.

Thoughts?

Any suggestions for a Broker to try (this was NFU).]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18126&Focus=305783#Comment_305783 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18126&Focus=305783#Comment_305783 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 18:12:22 +0100 djh
As you can imagine, we might have had problems with insuring a straw bale house, or rather we would have except we use a broker https://www.independentinsuranceservices.co.uk/ who has given us very good service over the years.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18126&Focus=305789#Comment_305789 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18126&Focus=305789#Comment_305789 Wed, 01 May 2024 10:18:07 +0100 Simon Still https://www.lansdowninsurance.com/

We have a few requirements that are unusual - SIP built/flat roof house for buildings and some valuable bikes for contents. Given that many insurers seem to changes their T&Cs from year to year if you've got anything non-standard it seems much easier to use a broker]]>
