Homeowners warned over insurance by Sainsbury's

A leading insurance firm has warned failure to notify providers about major DIY work at home could invalidate cover if things go wrong.

Sainsbury's Finance insisted that, while minor property adjustments were fine, structural changes require communication with insurers first.

Only by employing a qualified tradesperson can homeowners expect to be covered if a renovation project goes wrong.

Householders who cause fires with faulty wiring or flood houses with home plumbing may have to fork out for the repairs themselves.

Neil Laird, home insurance manager of Sainsbury's Finance, said: "We want to make sure homeowners are aware they could be left underinsured or even invalidate their insurance entirely in the event of an incident during or after works if they have not informed their insurer."

According to recent research by home insurance company Zurich, nearly half of homeowners do not inform their insurer of major DIY updates they are planning to make to the property.
