Frequently Asked Questions

We have tried to answer some of the most common questions we get asked below.

How do I calculate my sum insured for machinery and plant?Insurers look for a reinstatement cost i.e. to replace as new. However, some insurers will agree to a ‘sum insured’ which includes deduction for wear and tear which is classed as insured on an indemnity basis.

My stock levels continually fluctuate, how can I accommodate this?Stock can be put onto a declaration basis where you supply a figure each month, detailing where stock levels sit. Or you can insure the stock on a stock throughput policy which caters for such fluctuations. Call the Allied team to discuss your requirements to ensure that your insurance policy meets your needs.

My building has composite panel linings, Is this important to insurers?Yes, very much so. Insurers will only accept certain type of lining on buildings and this must be advised to insurers before cover can be provided.

Do I need a sprinkler system in my factory?This depends on the square footage of the factory, the amount of fire breaks in the factory and the type of work processes undertaken.
