Whatever the cause for underpinning, be it subsidence, landslip, or heave, the circumstances and the percentage of the property underpinned are going to be different for every home. That is why we take a practical view of underpinning insurance, finding out the precise conditions at play and the actual risks involved before quoting.
Underpinned house insurance is a specialised policy designed for properties that have undergone underpinning or foundation reinforcement.
It’s essential because standard home insurance may not adequately cover the unique risks associated with such properties.
Getting a quote is easy. You can request an immediate online quote in most cases by providing information about your property’s history and condition.
Several factors influence the cost, including the extent of underpinning, the history of movement or subsidence, and the location of your property. We tailor our quotes to your specific requirements.
Having a Certificate of Structural Adequacy can help assess the current condition and stability of your property’s structure. It’s beneficial during the quotation process.

Our cover is designed to protect the valuables within your home, tailored to meet the needs of underpinned properties.

Cover for accidental breakages or damage to your buildings e.g: putting your foot through the ceiling, or accidental breakage of glass
We understand that underpinning is a sensible preventative measure where a property has experienced movement or is in an area prone to subsidence. Whether you require buildings or contents cover, we are happy to discuss your individual requirements and are not put off by underpinning. We consider every property individually, taking into account the history of movement/subsidence and measures taken to prevent further movement and damage.
During your quotation, where the property has been underpinned we will ask whether a Certificate of Structural Adequacy is available, which helps us to assess the current condition and stability of the structure of your property.
The circumstances of each underpinned property are different; how long ago your property was underpinned, to what extent, and whether you’ve experienced any movement or subsidence since all need to be considered. Our team is on-hand to help you with your questions relating to home insurance cover for your underpinned property.
