More InformationAt BELFOR UK, we believe disaster recovery should be about more than restoring buildings – it’s about preserving lives, routines, and emotional wellbeing. That’s why we’ve partnered with Protector Insurance UK to launch a pioneering pop-up kitchen pod solution, designed to help families stay in their homes after a claim.
Together, we’ve developed a practical, cost-effective innovation that’s already making a real difference. These fully equipped kitchen pods allow policyholders to remain in familiar surroundings when safe to do so. This means they can be close to loved ones, pets, and daily routines – and reduces upheaval after events like fires, floods, escapes of water, or major loss claims. It’s a solution that puts people first, while also helping insurers reduce the significant costs of alternative accommodation, which can often exceed £1,500 per week.
We understand that being displaced from home can be one of the most stressful parts of a claim. That’s why these innovative pods are designed to restore essential kitchen facilities quickly and efficiently – helping households regain comfort, independence and a sense of normality. Each unit features:
- Dual induction hob and combi oven
- Fully functional sink
- Fridge-freezer
- Generous cupboard space
As our Managing Director, Hein Hemke, explains: “This is about preserving normality, not just kitchens. When policyholders can remain at home, surrounded by what matters most, they experience less upheaval and more trust in the process. It’s not just about functionality but about maintaining the small yet vital parts of everyday life: cooking meals, staying close to family and pets, and keeping children in familiar surroundings. These pods help reduce disruption and offer comfort, independence, and emotional stability exactly when it’s needed most.”
This innovation is the result of true collaboration with our friends at Protector Insurance UK – a partnership built on shared values and a commitment to delivering human-centred solutions that prioritise real lives, not just logistics.
And this is just the beginning. We’re already working closely together to expand this initiative with further innovations on the horizon that put people first.”
