Wet works explained
Wet work is any work where escaped liquid can cause damage. This can include general plumbing works, the installation or maintenance of wet systems such as sprinklers, sump pumps, wet heating systems, or any new installations.
Losses during wet work are frequent and can quickly become costly, causing significant delays.
Steps to take during wet works
If the building or works are insured with us, it is a condition of your policy to issue a Wet Work Permit. This will ensure that contractors obtain permission from an Authorised person before starting work and precautions are taken before, during, and after the works.
