Demolition Insurance for structural, asbestos and adjoining-property demolition risk.
At Capital Corporate Risks, we arrange specialist insurance for demolition contractors across Dartford, Kent and the UK. Demolition is one of the most heavily exposed trades on any construction project — soft-strip, structural removal, party-wall impact and asbestos risk are routinely combined on a single site — and a generic commercial wording will not respond to it. We arrange cover that reflects the real risk profile of the work, with high-limit liability, contractors all risks, and the specific protections you need against adjoining-property and asbestos exposure.
As a Dartford-based specialist broker, we work with single-job contractors through to multi-site demolition businesses, with cover that scales to the contracts you take on.
We provide bespoke policy cover for the specific risks that define a demolition operation, from soft-strip and internal clearance through to full structural removal. Generic commercial wordings routinely exclude or restrict the most exposed parts of the work. Our demolition packages are built specifically for:
Cover for fit-out clearance, internal strip-out and partial-floor work in occupied or part-occupied buildings.
Cover for full structural removal, including high-reach excavator, controlled-collapse and demolition of frames & floors.
Cover for both licensed asbestos removal & notifiable non-licensed work under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Cover for vibration, dust, party-wall impact and structural-movement claims on neighbouring buildings.
Cover for high-reach excavators, attachments, processors and on-site plant against damage, theft and breakdown.
Our demolition packages are structured around the cover your contracts genuinely require. Principal contractors and developers increasingly demand high-limit liability on demolition projects, and we set indemnity limits to meet those requirements with insurers who understand the trade.
Demolition exposures sit outside what a generic commercial policy will respond to. The specifics matter, and we make sure your policy answers them.
Demolition is one of the most heavily regulated trades on a UK construction site. We make sure your cover sits alongside the statutory framework you already work to, with technical understanding of your duties under the Health and Safety Executive (HSE):
Our high-risk client journey is designed to move from risk discovery to properly structured cover, then into active support when your business needs help.
A detailed review of your operation — premises, contracts, workforce, plant, machinery and exposures.
We approach specialist insurers who understand demolition risk, not general panels with generic wordings.
Your cover is placed with the right insurer at the right terms — no shortcuts and no gaps.
Questions during the policy year are handled directly by your account manager, not a call centre.
When you need to claim, your dedicated Claims Manager manages the process from notification to settlement.
“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.”
Demolition clients frequently need adjacent cover across construction-trade and waste-management exposures. Explore our dedicated insurance frameworks for:
Combined liability for trades involving asbestos, height, depth or hazardous environments.
Cover for excavation, piling, underpinning and reinforced-concrete frame contractors.
Practical commercial cover for contractors, subcontractors and multi-trade businesses.
High-level liability and equipment protection for scaffold design, erection and dismantling.
Environmental, plant and machinery cover for waste transfer, recycling and skip-hire operators.
With proper sector knowledge, we ensure your policy is accurately rated and the right wordings are in place for the specific demolition work you carry out, reducing the risk of cover being challenged when a claim is made. Should you need to make a claim, your Claims Manager will provide one-to-one support for a fair and efficient resolution.
We manage your claims directly and conduct quarterly review processes, ensuring that as your business evolves — new contracts, new sites, new equipment — your coverage adapts alongside it.
It is a specialist commercial insurance package designed for demolition contractors, combining high-limit public and employers' liability, contractors all risks, plant and machinery, and the specific asbestos and adjoining-property cover that demolition work requires.
Yes. We arrange cover that recognises the full range of demolition work, from soft-strip and internal clearance through to full structural and mechanical demolition. Cover and indemnity limits are set to the type and scale of the project.
Yes. We arrange cover for both licensed asbestos removal and notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW), with policy conditions aligned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Adjoining-property risk — vibration, dust, party-wall impact and structural movement of neighbouring buildings — is a defining demolition exposure. We arrange cover that specifically responds to it, rather than relying on a standard public liability wording that may exclude it.
For commercial demolition work, £10,000,000 public liability is now common, with £20,000,000 increasingly required on larger contracts. We structure cover to meet the specific demands of your main-contractor agreements.
