Insurance for Glass & Fixed Fixtures in Pubs
Pubs contain a significant amount of fixed glass and fragile fixtures. From front windows and entrance doors to internal partitions, mirrors, bar screens and decorative glass, breakage is one of the most frequent causes of insurance claims in licensed premises.
Glass breakage can occur accidentally during busy service periods, through vandalism, customer incidents, or as a result of weather damage. Even a single broken window or door can force a pub to close temporarily, resulting in lost income.
Insure24 provides specialist glass breakage and fixtures insurance for pubs, ensuring fast repair or replacement with minimal disruption to your business.
