Contractors are facing further rises in insurance premiums as the market continues to react to the fall-out from the Grenfell tragedy, according to brokers JLT Group<\/h2>\n

Experts at JLT Group<\/a> have warned that Professional Indemnity (PI) premiums for design and build contractors could more than double when the latest round of renewals starts.<\/p>\n

A number of insurance<\/a> firms have quit the Professional Indemnity market completely while those left are hiking prices.<\/p>\n

The sector has been damaged by demands from insurance regulators to stem losses and the ongoing fall-out from the Grenfell tragedy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Policy excesses are also expected to rise sharply and some cover withdrawn completely in certain sectors of the cladding market.<\/p>\n

Tim Smith, CEO of JLT Specialty\u2019s Construction team said: \u201cThe market has been hardening in the last ten months but things have really intensified in the last three.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith warned the whole supply chain could be affected alongside building owners.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt has often been the case that main contractors transfer the risk down the supply chain<\/a> and expect their subcontractors to have cover.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat may no longer be possible because smaller firms will find it very difficult to get adequate cover so the Tier Ones can no longer take it for granted that the supply chain is secure in that regard.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding owners must also be reasonable when it comes to the level of guarantee they expect from contractors.\u201d<\/p>\n

JLT is advising construction companies to begin negotiations as early as possible with their insurers and brokers.<\/p>\n

Smith added: \u201cInsurers need as much information as possible and want to see that risks are well managed by contractors.<\/p>\n

\u201cStart to talk about renewals as early as possible and brokers can certainly help you find cover.\u201d<\/p>\n
