FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+-Is insurance still required if a storage facility is closed?
Yes. Closed or unoccupied premises often face increased risk and
require specialist insurance arrangements.
+-Does standard buildings insurance cover refurbishment works?
Not always. Many policies restrict or exclude cover during building
works unless insurers are notified and cover is amended.
+-Are contractors’ risks covered?
Contractors should carry their own insurance, but site owners may
still require additional cover during works.
+-How long can temporary closure cover last?
Cover can be arranged for short-term closures or extended
refurbishment periods, subject to insurer agreement.

Yes. Temporary closure cover is often part of a wider storage
facility insurance package.
