Restaurant insurance in Sunderland

Sunderland's restaurants and takeaways trade across an affordable North East city where security is a real consideration. What many owners do not realise is that their theft cover comes with strings attached.

Where the risks come from for Sunderland restaurants

Theft cover on a restaurant policy usually carries security warranties, conditions on locks, shutters, alarms and how they are used, and if those conditions are not met, a theft claim can be reduced or declined. A break-in through a door left on the wrong lock, or with the alarm unset, can end up uninsured.

A Sunderland example

A Sunderland restaurant is broken into, but the insurer questions the claim because the shutter and alarm conditions the policy required had not been kept to. Where the security warranties are understood and met, the theft is covered; where they are not, even a genuine break-in can go unpaid.

What restaurant insurance covers

Theft cover is only as good as the security conditions attached to it are kept, so understanding and meeting the warranties, locks, alarms, shutters, is part of the cover working. It sits with the money, property and business-interruption covers.
