Renovation protection matters
Even the best projects need guardrails.
Beams’ systems make sure your builder gets paid fairly, your money stays safe, and your renovation stays on track.
Payments you control
Milestone-based and held securely until you’re happy.
Contracts you can trust
Clear terms for scope, cost and responsibility.
Coverage that lasts
Insured builders and a 12-month workmanship warranty
Milestone payments
Your money sits in your Beams Account, not with the builder, and releases in stages as the work is done.
- No upfront payments to the builder
- Funds held securely by Beams
- You approve each stage, or it releases automatically after seven days if you raise no issues
It keeps your investment safe and makes sure everyone is treated fairly.
Builder insurance
Every builder in our network carries, and keeps current, at least:
- £5 million public liability insurance, which covers damage or injury caused by the works
- £5 million employers’ liability insurance, which covers the people working on site
We check both before a builder joins the network and again at renewal.
If the workmanship itself is not right, that is a warranty matter rather than an insurance one. Your builder warrants their work for twelve months and comes back to put it right at no cost to you. Your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply as well.

Secure contracts
Every Beams renovation begins with a professional home-improvement contract, clearly outlining scope, and cost. That contract is between you and your builder. Beams is not a party to it, and the building work is carried out by your builder, not by Beams.
That means you’re protected from hidden extras, or surprise invoices.
12 month workmanship warranty
Your builder guarantees their workmanship against defects for twelve months after practical completion. Any defect you report in that period is put right by your builder at no extra cost, and we are on hand to make sure it happens.

Continuous oversight
Beams monitors builder performance on every project to make sure standards stay high.
If something goes wrong with your builder and you cannot resolve it between you, it escalates to our Operations Team. If it still is not resolved, Beams may step in with corrective action, which can include replacing the builder.

Every Beams project includes these protections as standard — no extra cost, no small print.
