FMB Insurance was set up in 1980 to provide warranties for the domestic home improvement market. This work was largely funded by local authorities.
FMB Insurance now provides a wide range of commercial and latent defects insurances to suit the requirements of FMB members, as well as the general public. Alongside this cover, we also offer van/fleet insurance, public and employers’ liability, as well as various other forms of insurance including unoccupied property insurance and surety bonds.
We have established relationships with all of our insurers, which means we can be flexible with the cover that we offer. If there’s a product that you’re not sure of, or if you’re enquiring about something else, just ask us and we may be able to help.
