Equipment & Fixtures Insurance for Clothing Shops

Clothing shops rely on far more than just stock. From display rails and shelving to point-of-sale systems, mirrors, lighting and signage, your shop equipment and fixtures are essential to day-to-day trading and customer experience.

Shop Equipment & Fixtures Insurance protects these fixed and movable assets against damage, theft and loss following insured events such as fire, flood, vandalism or accidental damage.

Insure24 arranges tailored cover for clothing retailers of all sizes - from independent boutiques to multi-site fashion chains.

What Does Shop Equipment & Fixtures Insurance Cover?


  • Display Rails & Shelving – Fixed and freestanding units.
  • Shop Fittings & Counters – Checkout desks and cabinets.
  • Mirrors & Changing Rooms – Including fittings and doors.
  • Lighting & Electrical Fixtures – Spotlights and display lighting.
  • Point of Sale Equipment – Tills, card machines and tablets.
  • Signage & Branding – Internal and external signage.

Equipment and fixtures are typically insured under the contents section of a clothing shop insurance policy, with limits based on replacement value.

Common Risks to Shop Equipment & Fixtures

  • Fire or smoke damage affecting fittings
  • Flood or escape of water damaging fixtures
  • Vandalism to displays and mirrors
  • Theft of POS equipment
  • Accidental damage during refits or merchandising
  • Storm damage to signage

Without adequate cover, replacing fixtures can be expensive and cause prolonged disruption to trading.

Fixtures & Equipment vs Stock Insurance

Fixtures and equipment are insured separately from stock.

  • Stock Insurance – Covers clothing, footwear and accessories for sale
  • Equipment & Fixtures Insurance – Covers items used to run the shop

Both must be declared accurately to avoid underinsurance.

How Much Equipment & Fixtures Cover Do You Need?

Cover should reflect the full replacement cost of all fixtures and equipment, including installation and fitting costs.

  • Shopfitting and joinery
  • Lighting and wiring
  • POS systems and IT
  • Mirrors, rails and shelving

Under-declaring values can result in reduced claim payouts.

Equipment Cover for Online & Hybrid Clothing Retailers

Even online-focused retailers often rely on equipment such as packing stations, photography setups, storage racking and POS systems.

Equipment cover can be extended to home offices, studios or storage units, subject to policy terms.
