Can I claim back VAT on site insurance?

I'm just making an application for a VAT refund on a self build barn conversion. Does anyone know if site insurance (whilst the build was taking place) is allowable please?

    Hi Joanna,

    Unfortunately VAT on services, such as site insurance, is not reclaimable through HMRC VAT 431C scheme. So you cannot claim back the VAT charged by your solicitor, architect or the quantity surveyor and can only reclaim the VAT charged on materials and labour.
