Works and scope
Painting, kitchens, bathrooms, electrical work, plumbing or structural works can each trigger different insurance questions.
Insurance orientation
Renovation changes insurance questions
BSP helps buyers and owners connect renovation planning with insurance themes, so local insurers, contractors and specialists can assess cover, responsibility and practical requirements.
Local insurers, brokers, legal advisers, tax specialists and property managers must confirm availability, requirements, exclusions, premiums, documents and practical execution.
Service blocks
Which renovation insurance themes matter?
Contractor responsibility
Local contractors should clarify liability, safety, workmanship, damage and their own insurance position.
Temporary risks
Open walls, tools, materials, water, electricity and access can increase risk during works.
Vacancy during works
A property under renovation may also be empty, which can affect cover and inspection duties.
Building and contents
Existing cover may need review when fixed elements or inventory are removed, stored or replaced.
Permits and safety
Local rules, permits, safety standards and professional execution must be assessed locally.

Important
Insurance remains specialist work
BSP does not provide insurance advice, legal advice or tax advice. We help buyers identify insurance themes and involve local or specialist parties where appropriate.
Policy terms, local law, rental status, vacancy, renovation, liability, cover, premiums, acceptance and claim payment must always be assessed by an insurer or qualified specialist.

FAQ
Questions about insurance
Does a normal policy cover renovation?
Not always. Renovation can affect cover, exclusions and reporting duties. The insurer must assess this before works start.
Who is responsible for damage by contractors?
That depends on local law, contract terms, contractor insurance and the facts. This must be checked locally and agreed in writing.
Should the insurer be informed before renovation?
In many cases yes. Any material change in risk should be discussed with the insurer or broker.
Does BSP inspect renovation quality?
No. BSP does not provide technical or insurance advice. Local contractors, inspectors and specialists must assess execution and safety.
