Building Insurance for Thatched Roofs at Finass Verzekert

Introduction

A home with a thatched roof exudes character and luxury, but also brings unique challenges. Thatched roofs are more vulnerable to fire and weather influences, which is why standard home insurance often does not provide sufficient coverage. Finass Verzekert offers specialized building insurance for thatched roofs, so that your home is optimally protected against all risks. In this blog we explain what building insurance for thatched roofs entails, why it is important, and what you can expect.

1. Why Building Insurance for Thatched Roofs?

A thatched roof requires insurance that takes into account the specific properties and risks of this type of roofing.

Important reasons:

1. Fire hazard:

   • Reed is a flammable material and therefore requires additional preventive measures and specific coverage.

2. Weather influences:

   • Thatched roofs are more susceptible to damage from storms and heavy rain.

3. Higher repair costs:

   • Repairs to thatched roofs often require specialist professionals and materials.

2. Types of Thatched Roofs

Not all thatched roofs are the same. The construction and type of roof influence the risks and insurance conditions.

1. Traditional Thatched Roof:

   • The thatch lies directly on the wooden roof construction.

   • Features:

     • Authentic appearance, often found in historic buildings.

     • Higher fire risk due to direct contact with the roof structure.

   • Insurance requirements:

     • Strict preventive measures, such as fire-retardant coating and approved lightning conductors.

2. Undershot Thatched Roof:

   • The thatch is placed on a closed roof construction, often made of fire-resistant material such as plasterboard.

   • Features:

     • Less fire hazard due to the separation between the thatch and the roof structure.

     • Modern appearance and often used in new construction.

   • Insurance requirements:

     • Less strict requirements than for traditional roofs, but recommendations for fire-retardant measures.

3. Thatched Roof with Insulation Panels:

   • The reed is combined with insulated panels for better energy savings.

   • Features:

     • Ideal for sustainable homes.

     • Extra protection against the weather.

   • Insurance requirements:

     • Specific attention to moisture prevention and regular inspections.

3. What is covered by Building Insurance for Thatched Roofs?

1. Fire and Storm Damage:

   • Protection against damage caused by fire, lightning, storm and hail.

2. Water damage:

   • Coverage for leaks and moisture problems due to heavy rainfall.

3. Recovery by traditional methods:

   • Insurance covers repairs with authentic materials and techniques, so that the character of your home is preserved.

4. Optional additional coverage:

   • Glass breakage.

   • Damage to outbuildings such as sheds or garages with thatched roofs.

   • Legal support in disputes about damage repair.

4. Preventive Measures for Thatched Roofs

Insurers often impose preventive requirements to limit the risks of a thatched roof. Some common measures are:

1. Fire retardant treatment:

   • Applying fire-retardant coatings to the reed.

2. Lightning rods:

   • Installation of an approved lightning conduction system.

3. Mandatory separation from open flames:

   • Extra insulation between the thatched roof and fireplaces in the house.
