Some risks demand deeper expertise than a standard survey can provide. Our specialist capability covers the most complex, technical, and niche risk classes in the market.
Complex risks require specialist thinking. Our team includes surveyors and consultants with backgrounds in engineering, loss control, environmental science, and industry operations — enabling us to go beyond the surface.
Lithium-ion and advanced chemistry battery storage presents unique thermal runaway, fire, and environmental contamination risks. We provide specialist BESS risk assessments for underwriters navigating this fast-growing exposure class.
Chemical storage, processing, and handling — including COMAH-regulated sites, solvent users, and flammable liquid storage. Full assessment of containment, segregation, and emergency response capability.
BI exposure analysis — assessing dependencies, single points of failure, supply chain vulnerability, and the adequacy of BI sum insured and indemnity periods relative to actual recovery timescales.
Security risk assessment covering physical perimeter, access controls, CCTV, alarm systems, and target-hardening recommendations — particularly relevant for vacant properties, high-value stock, and isolated rural sites.
Specialist surveys for high-net-worth residential properties — assessing construction, security, contents vulnerability, and bespoke risk features that fall outside standard residential survey frameworks.
Heightened risk assessment for vacant commercial and residential properties — covering arson, escape of water, structural deterioration, and compliance with vacancy conditions and clauses.
Our specialist HMO/asylum surveys go beyond, focusing on fire safety, management protocols, and building resilience against the intense operational pressures of high-density, multi-tenancy environments.
