Your home is more than bricks and mortar, and protecting it properly means more than ticking a box.

In the Bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey, where storms, supply delays, and rising rebuild costs are real risks, tailored insurance matters!

Our team supports homeowners with:

➡️ Local knowledge of rebuilding costs
➡️ Access to a wide range of insurers
➡️ Ongoing policy reviews and rebuild advice

When the next storm comes, the last thing you should worry about is your insurance.

A proper rebuild survey assesses the true, current cost of reinstating your home – not an estimate, not a guess.

It factors in:

✅ Specialist materials and finishes
✅ Unique Channel Islands logistics
✅ Rising labour and supply costs

Without this, even a good policy can leave gaps.
