Whatever your project, they can help provide the 10 Year Structural Warranty you need as well as using ‘A’ rated Insurers.

Self-Build Zone products include Insurance cover for:

  • Renovations – The cover protects the existing structure you are about to renovate and the new works and materials on site.
  • Conversions – Whether you are updating an older building or changing the buildings’ use, having the correct Site Insurance to protect the structure and your investment is crucial.
  • Extensions – Most ‘Home Insurance’ policies exclude cover for home improvement work.  Extension Site Insurance covers your new works, existing structure and liabilities to others.

Self-Build Zone also provide insurance for New Builds, this policy is designed for individuals building their own home or contracting another party to undertake the works on their behalf. Similarly, their Developer Site Insurance can provide cover for small to medium New Build developments.

Paul Kempton, Managing Director of Sennocke International Insurance Services, said:

“We have had a presence in Eire for a number of years and now we have decided to develop our leading UK products for the Irish market which of course now has one of the best post-recession economies.

All our policies are backed by ‘A’ rated Insurers – which are crucial for Lenders and Clients going forwards.  Just remember Quinn’s, Balvar, Lemma Europe, Horizon, Enterprise, Gable and recently Elite – all gone. In Denmark Qudos have pulled out of Structural Warranties.”

He continued:

“Who you insure with really matters…Working with our carefully selected and likeminded strategic partner, BuildServe, this now gives us the ability engage some of the best Surveyors and Building Professionals in Ireland to ensure that our approach to Risk Management has not been compromised to protect both our Clients and Insurers.

 

For our Self-build clients, we wanted to make sure that those who chose to ‘Opt-Out’ under BCAR 2014 are fully protected by working with BuildServe and getting the benefit of a 10 Year Build-Zone Structural Warranty at completion – and importantly from ‘A’ rated Insurers.”
