We have several different site insurance options to protect your self-build, renovation, conversion or extension project during the build process. Option to convert site insurance into buildings insurance upon completion if you expect to finish within the policy period. Our 10 year Build Zone Structural Warranty product will protect your project against a defect in the design, workmanship or materials of your self build.

Building Regulation Approval for your self build doesn't have to be done by your local authority. Take advantage of our alternative, often cheaper, Building Control service.

ARE YOU MOVING TO YOUR DREAM LOCATION WHERE YOU WILL BE CREATING YOUR DREAM HOME OR DREAM BUSINESS?

The Build A New Life In The Country team are looking for hands on people who are moving to an idyllic part of the countryside and starting work on a property renovation or new build to feature in their fourth series on FIVE.

The decision to make this life changing move isn’t always easy but programmes like this popular returning series, Build A New Life, have shown that if you really want to make it work, you can change your life completely and start again in a new DREAM house, in a new DREAM LOCATION with a new DREAM business.

If you have recently begun your life change or are getting ready to take the plunge the producers would like to hear from you now. They are looking for people planning to exchange cramped city flats or standard semis for buildings that capture the imagination: potential homes such as 21st century eco-builds, ruined barns and old farmhouses; large scale and unusual buildings in the vein of piers, windmills, lighthouses, water towers and power stations; quirky and hidden properties like redundant barges and overgrown railway stations. In addition to building your dream home you could also be adjusting to a new life in a new environment by starting a new job or setting up your own business in the heart of the countryside.

More and more people are opting to relocate, work from home and / or run their own business. Many simply want a healthier lifestyle in a quiet corner of the UK – every year over 100,000 of us are moving from urban to rural districts. These people agree that having easy access to nature and the countryside provides a good quality of life. Statistics back them up; rural people tend to live longer and have better health than urban dwellers. Also many people combine their move with setting up a new business – it is estimated that over half of new countryside ventures are started by people moving into the area.

If you do make it onto the show, you’ll be guided every step of the way and provided with seasoned advice and vital moral support as you work towards achieving your new lifestyle.

Each programme begins with meeting the contributors and learning of their dreams and aspirations for their new home and life. Some choose to live in a caravan in the garden, while others live in the house they are restoring. Where possible, the programme will follow them as they finalise designs, hunt down local builders and get their projects underway but it’s once the build gets going that the programme really gets into full swing. It follows progress through to completion as well as watching people juggling their new life-styles, their work and the build.

If you would be interested in appearing on the programme, please contact the producers on 0870 726 8871 or email build@shinelimited.com

If you are taking an active role in the management of your renovation project and will be responsible for hiring tradesman or direct labour, plant, tools, equipment and intend to purchase all the materials, then renovation insurance is an absolute must.
