WEBINAR | 21 OCTOBER 2026

El Niño on the horizon: Can the property repair sector cope?

With meteorologists warning that 2026/27 could bring one of the most significant El Niño events on record, Sedgwick’s forthcoming webinar explores how extreme weather could place additional strain on an already pressured UK property repair sector.

Providing an exclusive preview of Chapter One of the 2026 Property Damage and Repair Sector Report ahead of publication, the session will examine the potential impact of climate-driven losses, repair inflation, contractor shortages, underinsurance and evolving regulation, while discussing why repair capacity may become the industry’s greatest challenge.

Attendees will gain practical insight into the steps property owners, insurers, brokers and risk professionals can take to strengthen resilience, improve recovery planning and prepare for future surge events.
