Whilst it can be tempting to purchase standard insurance cover, many of these will not cover builders merchants and suppliers against the diverse risks faced by businesses in this sector. This can leave your business exposed to potential losses in the unfortunate event of a claim, determining the importance of working with a specialist insurance broker who understands your industry and the risks your business is exposed to.
Our expert team work carefully to secure the most appropriate insurance programme for each builders merchant / supplier that we work with. We take a proactive approach to risk management advice, which helps builders merchants and suppliers manage and reduce the risks their business faces.
In the event of a serious loss, you can make a claim within minutes via our unique video-streaming platform. As part of our service, we can also assign one of our independent Loss Adjusters to you within a few hours to manage the claim on your behalf.
We see ourselves as your trusted advisor for all your insurance and risk management needs, allowing you to focus on the day to day running of your business, knowing you are in safe hands.

“I have dealt with Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions, formerly Miles Smith Insurance Solutions, for a number of years now and am very grateful for the advice together with the support given. Prior to their involvement, I had suffered a deteriorating claims experience and through various Risk Management guidance, including the fitting of cameras, my experience has radically improved. I now regard them as part of my team, and look forward to working with them in the years ahead”
