Restaurant insurance in Southend-on-Sea
Southend-on-Sea's restaurants line a Thames-estuary seafront, from the pier out along the front, trading where the river meets the sea. That prime position sits squarely in the path of the tide.
Where the risks come from for Southend-on-Sea restaurants
A seafront or low-lying estuary restaurant is exposed to tidal flooding, when a surge and a high tide push salt water over the defences and into the premises. Salt water does lasting harm to fit-out and equipment, and the clean-up and drying are slow.
A Southend-on-Sea example
A tidal surge pushes water over the seafront defences and into a Southend restaurant, leaving salt water through the dining room and kitchen. Flood cover meets the strip-out and reinstatement, and business interruption covers the weeks of closure while the premises dry and are refitted.
What restaurant insurance covers
For a seafront restaurant, the first question is whether tidal flood is covered and on what excess, then buildings and contents cover for the salt-water damage and a business-interruption period long enough for the repair. These sit with the stock and liability covers.
