Insurer Questions

  • What kitchen fitting, joinery, tiling, flooring and finishing work is undertaken?
  • Do you connect plumbing, coordinate electrical work or install appliances?
  • What split is domestic, landlord, developer or light commercial work?
  • Do you design, specify, supply or only install kitchens?
  • What tools, materials, stock and contract values need cover?

Customer Property and Water Damage

Fitted kitchen work often takes place in finished homes or occupied premises, so accidental damage, dust, water leaks and appliance handling can become costly even where the original job value is modest.

Tools, Materials and Contract Works

Cabinets, worktops, appliances, fixtures, materials and specialist tools can be exposed to theft or damage before the project is complete. Contract works and goods in transit cover may be important where you supply or move materials.
