What does Factory, Buildings & Property Insurance cover?

Why is Business Interruption cover important for my factory?
Business Interruption cover helps safeguard your income and profits if damage to your factory or premises halts production or reduces output. It covers ongoing fixed costs such as rent, salaries, and utilities during the downtime, helping you maintain financial stability until repairs are completed.

How do insurers assess the value of my factory and equipment?
Insurers typically require detailed information about your buildings’ construction, age, and condition as well as a valuation of your machinery, equipment, and stock. It's important to provide up-to-date valuations to ensure your policy adequately covers full rebuild or replacement costs without underinsurance penalties.
+-
Are there any common exclusions I should be aware of?
Typical exclusions include gradual wear and tear, faulty workmanship, losses caused by war or terrorism, and damage resulting from pollution unless sudden and accidental. Flood damage may require specific coverage. It’s important to review your policy wording carefully and discuss exclusions with your broker.

How can I reduce my insurance premium?
Implementing robust risk management measures can help lower premiums. This includes installing advanced security systems (alarms, CCTV), fire prevention equipment, regularly maintaining machinery, having detailed loss prevention procedures, and ensuring business continuity plans are in place. Insurers favour businesses that actively mitigate risks.
