We Don't Just Place Your Cover – We Support It

Many brokers arrange your policy and move on. We stay involved — from the first risk assessment through placement, renewal and, crucially, claims. When something goes wrong, you speak to people who already understand your operation, including a dedicated Claims Manager, not a generic helpline.

This is our whole proposition: specialist cover, fit for purpose, and proactively supported when it matters.

What Our Clients Say About Us

"As a growing building firm we needed cover that kept pace with us. They arranged public liability, tools and contract works in one straightforward policy and explained every part of it."
Owner - Building Contractor, Essex
"They knew the difference between soft-strip and full structural demolition, and arranged asbestos and adjoining-property cover that reflected the jobs we actually take on. A broker that speaks our language."
Contracts Manager - Demolition Contractor, London
"Our main contractors demand strict JCT and NEC compliance. CCR made sure our cover met those requirements before we signed, which saved us a real headache on a major piling contract."
Director - Groundworks & Piling Contractor, Kent
"Fleet, goods in transit and the occasional hazardous load — they covered the lot under one programme and got our premiums to a sensible place. Renewals are genuinely painless now."
Transport Manager - Haulage Operator, Southend-on-Sea
"We run warehousing and a courier fleet, and previous brokers always left gaps between the two. CCR built a single programme that covers stock, transit and liability properly."
Operations Director - Logistics & Distribution, London
"Unrestricted height cover was the dealbreaker our old broker couldn't manage. CCR placed it within a week, with proper equipment and Contractors All Risks cover. Being recognised by the Scaffolding Association gave us confidence too."
Director - Scaffolding Contractor, Kent
"Hot works warranties had caught us out before. The team walked us through exactly what the policy required and made sure our height and hot-works cover was watertight."
Owner - Commercial Roofing Contractor, Essex
"Environmental liability and fire risk on a recycling site are no joke. CCR arranged cover that takes lithium-ion fire and our permits seriously, and helped line it up with our fire prevention plan."
Site Director - Waste & Recycling Operator, Maidstone, Kent
"The real test came when we had a claim. One named Claims Manager handled it from start to finish — someone who already knew our business. Settled quickly and fairly, with no call centres."
Managing Director, Construction Company, Kent

Common Questions About
Specialist Commercial Insurance

A:

A specialist commercial insurance broker arranges cover for businesses operating in complex or high-hazard sectors. Unlike general brokers who handle standard commercial policies, a specialist understands the specific risks, regulatory requirements and insurer expectations within industries such as construction, demolition, haulage and waste management. This means your policy is placed with insurers who know your trade — reducing the risk of exclusions, gaps in cover or disputes at claim stage.

A:

Insurers offer their own products. A specialist broker searches the market on your behalf, comparing wordings, terms and pricing across multiple insurers to find the right fit for your operation. We also negotiate on your behalf, manage your claims and review your cover annually as your business changes. Going direct means you see one option; working with us means we find the best one.

A:

We arrange cover for businesses across seven high-hazard sectors: high risk liability trades, tradesmen and builders, demolition contractors, civil engineering and groundworks, haulage operators, logistics and distribution companies, scaffolding contractors, roofing contractors, and waste and recycling operators. If your business involves complex risk, we can most likely help.

A:

Most construction and high-risk trade businesses require public liability insurance, employers' liability insurance and contractors' all risks cover as a minimum. Depending on your operation, you may also need professional indemnity, plant and machinery cover, tools insurance, hired-in plant cover, contract works insurance and motor fleet policies. The exact requirements depend on your sector, the contracts you work under and the risks specific to your operation.

A:

We handle both. Every client has access to a dedicated Claims Manager who manages the process from notification through to settlement. We do not pass you to a third-party claims line. When something goes wrong, you speak to someone who already knows your business and your cover — that makes a material difference to how quickly and fairly your claim is resolved.

A:

In many cases, yes. Businesses are often declined because the previous broker approached the wrong insurers or presented the risk poorly. We work with specialist insurers who understand complex and high-hazard trades. If your business has been declined, refused renewal or had cover restricted, speak to us — we will assess the risk properly and approach the right market.
