Protect · Late 2026
Calm prevention. Proper cover.
Two things the House takes seriously. A Protect Review that documents the state of your home and flags what it quietly needs. A Provenance insurance introduction for homes and collections the high-street products don't quite fit.
Foresight. Verification. Ongoing care.
The quiet discipline of looking after a place.

Most damage doesn't arrive dramatically.
It begins quietly. A slow leak, a forgotten battery, a system left unchecked.
Home Protection & Risk Reduction is the House's answer to that reality. A new service focused on prevention, continuity, and stewardship over time.
What this service
Provides.
Designed to prevent disruption before it begins. Quiet diligence, informed assessment, and ongoing attention.
- A preventative approach to home care
- Calm, practical risk identification
- Thoughtful follow-through and documentation
- Ongoing oversight, not reactive fixes
What this service
Doesn't provide.
Not built on alarms, urgency, or worst-case scenarios. It complements responsible ownership, never replaces it.
- An insurance product
- A legal survey
- A gadget-led alarm package
- A one-off checklist with no memory
Where our experts provide support
The risks that build quietly.
Most household damage doesn't come from a single dramatic event. It builds through small oversights: easy to miss, costly to ignore.
I.
Water, Drainage & Ingress
The most common and disruptive source of household damage.
Slow leaks. Blocked gutters. Poor drainage. Water finding its way in unnoticed and developing quietly over time. Ingress is rarely visible until it has already cost the homeowner.
- Gutter and downpipe verification
- External drainage and standing-water audit
- Internal moisture and ventilation review
II.
Boundaries, Fences & External Elements
External structures, exposed to constant weathering.
Fences, walls, and guttering. Gradual movement, decay, or failure can create safety issues, access risks, and secondary damage if left unmanaged.
- Fence and boundary integrity check
- Wall and pointing inspection
- Outbuilding condition and access review
III.
Fire & Carbon Monoxide
Systems degrade. Batteries fail. Standards change.
Smoke and CO detection placement, condition, and regular verification. Often correctly installed once and quietly forgotten, until they matter.
- Detector placement against current standards
- Battery and self-test verification
- Replacement schedule documented
What to expect
Three quiet acts of looking after.
When launched, Home Protection unfolds in three movements: assess, implement, watch over. Held in your home record, surfaced only when it matters.
I.
Home Protection Review
An in-person, whole-home preventative assessment.
A House-vetted specialist walks the property, room by room and outside in. Photographs, notes, and a prioritised works list. Insurance-ready documentation, filed straight to your home record.
II.
Protection Setup
Coordinated implementation of agreed measures.
Approved partners book the work, the House oversees the schedule, and every action is logged. You see what was done, when, and by whom, without managing each handover yourself.
III.
Ongoing Protection Plan
Regular verification and recorded oversight via Housekeeper.
Seasonal checks, reminders before they become urgent, and a quiet running record of the home's state. You don't need to remember everything. HoWA does that for you.
You don't need to remember everything. HoWA does that for you.
Is it right for you?
For homes that expect to be looked after.
Busy households
Where peace of mind matters more than personally managing every detail.
Period or high-value homes
Where preventative care preserves both the building and its value over decades.
Second homes & unoccupied properties
Where the home is left for weeks or months and small problems become large in absence.
Clients who prefer prevention over repair
Who see care as an ongoing relationship, not a series of call-outs.
If you already trust the House with your home, this is the next layer of care.
