INSURING YOUR EXTENSION

When you undertake a big home improvement scheme, you should always inform your insurance provider of your intentions. Your current policy may already cover any possible damage caused during extension works, but if not, you may need to buy a separate package to protect your house and possessions for the duration of the build. Providers include Protek (www. protekselfbuild.co.uk) and Self-build Zone (www.selfbuildzone.com).
