Higos Insurance Services - Thatch PropertyFor Chartered Insurance Broker advice, it has to be Higos.
From grade 2 listed thatched properties to fully working chimneys, at Higos, we understand every thatched home is unique and that's why we love insuring them.
Unlike insurers who shy away from homes that don’t fit the norm or easily tick all the boxes, our knowledgeable, specialist and friendly thatch team relishes finding you excellent levels of cover for your thatched home – and at a competitive price. Whether it’s your main home, second home, holiday home, holiday let, long-term let, a listed or unoccupied property, our experience, market knowledge and reputation allow us to access a broad range of products from our panel of thatch specialists.
We get to understand the specific details of your home, the fuel you burn and, of course, details about your roof. We even offer our own thatch insurance scheme underwritten by a consortium of Legal & General Insurance Ltd and ERGO Versicherung AG (UK Branch). It includes a fully funded chimney survey and fire risk assessment if the chimneys used by solid fuel stoves.
Because every thatch home is unique, we offer additional discounts that reflect that difference. For where your chimney isn’t used for example, or you have fire retardant thatch or monitored fire alarms. We also take a proactive approach to risk management and can remind you when electrical certificates need renewing or your chimney is due for a sweep.
Accidents happen and should the unexpected occur, our personal in house claims team are here for you, giving you all the reassurance and support you need, when you need it most.
Even if your policy isn’t due for renewal now, we’d be happy to offer you a free, no obligation assessment of your current levels of cover.
