Where the risks come from for Wells-next-the-Sea shops
Wells sits behind a working harbour on a coast prone to tidal surge, and a North Sea storm surge on a high tide is the exposure that marks it out — the town has taken surge flooding before, salt water reaching the quayside streets. The seasonal swing in stock and takings sits over that.
A Wells-next-the-Sea example
A Staithe Street shop took salt water when a North Sea surge on a spring tide pushed over the quay and into the lower street; floor-level stock was lost and the salt slowed the clean-up and reinstatement. Coastal-surge flood and business interruption were the claim.
What shop insurance covers
For a Wells-next-the-Sea shop, flood cover against tidal surge sits with stock, contents and business interruption at the heart of the policy. Public and products liability are included, employers' liability applies with staff, and money, glass and building cover attach under the lease.
