House with subsidence claim and insurance

Hello
Does anyone know if any insurers will quote me buildings cover if I have had subsidence claim. It was small - total was under £3000 - but still subsidence all the same. It was from a council tree outside my house on the pavement which had been pruned just when we had major heatwave over the summer and bang - subsidence.
I have been tied to the same company whilst the claim has been sorted but I am paying over £600 for buildings and contents combined but feel they have got me trapped due to the claim.
Appreciate anyone's thoughts on this although I don't hold out much hope!
Thank you

You will be lucky to find any other insurer that will take it on and continue to cover you for subsidence... your normal 2 options are your current insurers and your mortgage providers "preferred supplier" (often themselves)All posts made are simply my own opinions and are neither professional advice nor the opinions of my employers

if it's more than 10 stone, and that hairy, it's probably not a dog...it may be a wookie.0

Thank you for the suggestion of Adrian Flux.
I have never heard of them. I hope it's still with known companies as I assume if I decide to sell the house the insurance would have to be transferred.0
