Why you need engineering insurance

Whether you own a property that contains a passenger or goods lift, a cafe with a steam boiler, or a garage with a pressurised air receiver or lifting plant machinery, then you will need inspection cover which is required to comply with the Channel Islands Health and Safety Inspectorate legal requirements.

If that equipment is essential to the running of your business then it is also worth considering extending your cover to include sudden and unforeseen damage and breakdown cover in addition, because when these machines suffer a breakdown, or another form of loss or damage, it can often result in unexpected and costly repair bills.
