As an insurer of thousands of thatched buildings, we know how devastating it can be when fire strikes as results are often rapid and total. The number of thatched property fires has risen significantly since the 1990s, and there has been growing concern about the use of wood-burners & multi-fuel stoves in thatched homes.

NFU Mutual is helping reduce the risk of fire in thatched properties, and has previously funded a 3 year research programme in partnership with Historic England carried out by the Fire Protection Association to investigate the risks posed by wood burning and multi-fuelled stoves. There are a number of key steps that owners and occupiers of thatched buildings who use wood-burning stoves can take to reduce the risk of fire, and we can advise you of these.

In addition to insuring your thatched property NFU Mutual can provide quality cover for the other things you care about, such as your car and personal possessions including watches, jewellery and other valuables.
