Commercial Buildings Insurance Specialists
Commercial Buildings Insurance
Commercial property insurance provides protection for property owners who let out their property for commercial uses. This type of insurance policy is important as there are a variety of costly incidents that can stem from allowing another party to occupy a commercial property.
This cover is also often referred to as commercial landlord insurance. To qualify for this type of policy, a property owner must have a formal rental agreement in place with their tenant that establishes themselves as the landlord and the occupying organisation as the tenant.

Understanding Commercial Buildings Insurance – What is Covered?
A commercial property insurance package can be tailored to your needs. The following needs to be considered:
- Liability for injury or damage—In the event of property damage of personal injury occurring due to a landlord being negligent in maintaining the property, the property owner will be held responsible.
- Necessary repairs—If a building or property is damaged and must be repaired or rebuilt, commercial buildings insurance is key to covering the resulting costs.
- Loss of rent—If a property becomes unfit to be let due to an insurable event—such as a fire—the loss of rent can be recouped through commercial buildings insurance.
- Damage to landlords’ contents—It is possible that landlords will own not only a building, but also some of the contents inside..
Furthermore, there are additional situations that commercial property insurance can provide cover for which may not generally be included in a standard policy. It is important for policyholders to understand all aspects of their commercial property insurance. This includes whether or not a policy will be triggered by certain specific situations, such as:
- Unoccupied properties—Due to unoccupied properties having a higher risk of break-ins, vandalism, squatting and other crime, it needs to be disclosed if empty. There is generally a grace period of approximately 30 days between when a property becomes vacant and when the owner will be required to switch to a vacant property insurance policy.
- Wear and tear—Buildings and property will inevitably require regular maintenance, which is not covered by commercial property insurance. Policyholders should take the time to understand exactly what types of damage their insurance will cover.
- Flat roof warranty—Flat roofs are consistent concerns for insurance providers due to increased risk for leaks and resulting property damage. If a property’s roof has flat sections, a policy may require owners to perform certain servicing and repairs on a regular basis.

I spent months trying to find bespoke insurance cover for my small food business but kept getting really bad service, no information and refusal with no explanation.

I was let down by another insurance broker at 5 o'clock on a Monday night with a project mobilizing on the Wednesday morning for which I had to have Rope access insurance for at £10M ELI/PLI.
Tony called me back after hours on the Monday night, got all of the information required (walked me through the document) and then put in a monumental effort to get the quotations back before my mobilization time. As a comparison I had other insurance brokers only responding to my enquiry 24hrs later.
Tony got everything in place in time for us to go offshore and successfully deliver our project. Absolute top man and I will be back to speak to Tony for our next insurance coverage (with a bit more time to spare).
Tim Dixon provided very professional service giving me timely reminders and following up on my queries promptly. The policy is tailored to our needs and competitive. Excellent service and I would recommend.
