Insurance for Theft, Vandalism & Malicious Damage in Pubs

Pubs are high-visibility premises and are frequently targeted for theft, vandalism and malicious damage. From overnight break-ins and smashed windows to graffiti, damaged fixtures and stolen stock, these incidents can cause serious disruption and financial loss.

Even when losses are relatively small, the cost of repairs, replacements and lost trading time can quickly escalate. Without appropriate insurance, pub owners may be left to absorb these costs themselves.

Insure24 provides specialist theft, vandalism and damage insurance for pubs, designed to respond quickly and minimise downtime following an incident.
