Restaurant insurance in Watford
Watford is a dense London-fringe town where development never stops, extensions, basements and refits going on among tightly-packed premises. A restaurant can be damaged not by anything it does, but by the building work next door.
Where the risks come from for Watford restaurants
When a neighbour extends, underpins or digs out a basement, the work can crack walls, disturb foundations or let water into the adjoining restaurant. Party-wall law governs responsibility, but establishing it and getting damage repaired can be slow, and the restaurant's own cover often has to respond first.
A Watford example
A neighbour's basement excavation beside a Watford restaurant causes cracking and settlement to the party wall and the restaurant's structure. While the party-wall liability is pursued, the restaurant's buildings cover meets the damage, so the repair is not held up by a dispute between neighbours.
What restaurant insurance covers
Buildings cover responds to damage to the restaurant whatever the external cause, including neighbouring works, and legal-expenses cover can help pursue a responsible neighbour. Business interruption and the liabilities complete the cover.
