Engineering insurance

What is Engineering Insurance

This type of cover aims to support the vital structures around all types of engineering firms, regardless of type and size. Often using complex machinery and intricate systems to control that machinery, engineering firms are sometimes at the mercy of technology, the weather and even just bad luck.

Engineering is a vital industry that is critical to any society’s infrastructure and often involves the use of high-value, systems and business-critical equipment. Unforeseen breakdowns and electrical or mechanical faults can result in business interruption and regardless of your trade or size of the operation you are running, unforeseen accidents in your factory can cost the business heavily in downtime and financially.

As such, having the best insurance cover in place to protect these crucial systems is important to ensure your business becomes more robust when faced with such challenges.

What does Engineering Insurance include?

• Employers Liability
• Public Liability
• Bespoke cover for both owned and hired plant machinery.
• Protection for computer systems and electronics.
• Access to experienced team advisers.
• Claims support
• Professional indemnity

Engineering Inspections

We also understand the legal implications of engineering firms hence why we can facilitate statutory inspections to your equipment and machinery so that your duty to remain legally compliant with your plant can coincide with your insurance policy. This gives you the comfort and freedom of managing mechanic operations and procedures and anything else that could go wrong in the business under one single, simple policy.

The range of equipment that needs to be inspected on a regular includes:

• Pressurised boiler systems
• Lifts, car parking systems and window gantries
• Pressure and compressor systems
