We've just completed a new build timber-frame house with a flat roof, covered in EPDM rubber and externally clad in corrugated steel. We're currently looking for building insurance but are finding that insurers are not familiar with this type of roof covering and hate flat roofs - and that's before we get onto the corrugated steel cladding.
Can anyone recommend an adventurous or even forward-thinking insurance company/broker who will help us get this project over the line?
Thanks.
