The CGA is one of the longest established and most widely recognised insurers of thatched property in the UK.

If you live in a thatched property you will be well aware that arranging insurance can be quite a challenge. In recent years spiralling claims have affected the thatch insurance market and many underwriters now refuse to offer cover.

Thankfully there is some good news in that the CGA is ideally placed to provide a high quality yet economical solution, and we can usually offer cover for most types of property including listed buildings, detached, semi-detached and terraced thatched properties.

We've worked closely with owners of thatched property ever since our foundation back in 1893 and as such can empathise with many of the specific intricacies involved in thatched property maintenance and protection.

The CGA's insurance arm was established in the mid 1940s and therefore we are fortunate in having built a wealth of experience in the area which enables us to match our knowledge of thatched property with the insurance market.

Our policies are underwritten by a respected underwriter with a proven track record and a long term commitment to the thatched property market.

Crucially, the CGA continues to pride itself in delivering the very highest standard of service. We have pledged never to engage the services of a call centre or automated telephone system. Every call is answered by a member of staff and each enquiry is dealt with by our own specialist insurance team.
