My advice would be to take out standard home insurance and then notify them when the works are taking place. It is advised to alert your insurance company of the works but the company carrying out the works should have adequate insurance to cover any eventualities whilst on site.


From my experience your insurers will check the cover the build team have in place and should then advise you where you stand and if any further is required.


My advice is to read the small print!

We did something similar fairly recently - we went with the insurance offered by the same company as the mortgage (as they had surveyed/valued the property anyway) and they allowed a 'renovation/vacant period', for us 40 days was enough, for a slightly increased premium, but nothing unreasonable.


Speak to the mortgage company about their insurance would be my advice.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.

      NIKO THE PLUMBER

      By DAVID CANNON · Posted

      I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!

      Has your child sat 4+ or 7+ assessments?

      By Mr F · Posted

      I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
