BUSINESS CLIENTS · MANUFACTURING
Machinery breakdowns are expensive, and they tend to happen at the worst possible moment.
Free first consultation →The problem
In manufacturing, machinery is often the most valuable asset a business has. A breakdown from operator error, mechanical failure or a material defect hits not only the machine itself but the whole production process, with knock-on costs from late orders and contractual penalties.
Our solution
We help you value your machinery correctly and insure all of it, with a policy that covers the real risks of breakdown and lost production, and avoids under-insurance through regular review.
Book an appointment →The hard facts
90%
of machinery losses are partial: a repair rather than a write-off.
Operator error
is among the most common causes of loss.
Depreciated value
On a write-off many policies pay only the depreciated value, not the replacement cost.
All risks
Operator error, short circuits, material and design faults are all covered.
Worth knowing
Machinery insurance covers unforeseen damage broadly, including operator error, short circuits and material and design faults.
On a write-off many policies pay only the depreciated value. Look for replacement-cost cover, so that replacing the machine is actually possible.
The repair bill is often smaller than the profit lost while production stands still, and machinery interruption cover takes care of that.
Machinery changes over time. Without regular adjustment of the sum insured, under-insurance threatens when you claim.

Why it matters
Check your bottleneck machines
If a key machine goes down, production stops, and the repair quickly runs to five figures.
Replacement value, not depreciated value
On a write-off many policies pay only the depreciated value. Look for replacement-cost cover.
Insure the downtime too
Machinery interruption cover pays for the profit lost during a long shutdown.
