The Government is aware that concerns about cladding and other fire safety measures may have an effect on some insurance premiums. As with all insurance renewals, building owners should engage with brokers early and provide as much information as possible in order to manage their building's insurance premiums. We are engaging with the insurance industry to better understand their approach to risk.
