Fire & Property Insurance
Protection for commercial and industrial property against fire and other listed perils.
How we help
A fire and property policy covers a business's premises, machinery, furniture and stock against loss or damage from fire and the other perils named in the policy, such as lightning, explosion, storm, flood and riot, depending on the cover chosen.
The sum insured must reflect the real value of what is covered. If it is set too low, the insurer can reduce a claim in proportion, so we help you value buildings, machinery and stock before the policy is issued.
Additional covers, such as loss of profits after a fire, can be added. We explain which extensions suit your business and which documents the insurer will want after a loss.
What it covers
- Building, plant and machinery cover

Common questions
What people ask us about Fire & Property Insurance
What happens if my sum insured is too low?
The insurer can apply average, paying only a proportion of the loss in line with the shortfall in cover. Reviewing values each year helps avoid this.
Is loss of profits covered?
Not under the basic policy. Business interruption cover is a separate extension, and we help you decide whether you need it.
Are floods and earthquakes included?
Only where the policy lists them. Some perils are in the basic cover and others are optional extensions, so we check the wording with you.
