Hair Salon Insurance

Stock, Landlord's Fixtures and Fittings and All Other Contents

Between £10,000 and £50,000, available in multiples of £5,000 (eg. £15,000, £20,000, £25,000 etc.)

Cover if any of your stock, landlord’s fixtures and fittings or contents is lost, stolen or damaged. Please ensure that the limit you select is adequate to cover ALL stock, landlord’s fixtures and fittings (including your shop front), equipment and all other contents for which you are responsible.

The limit must be adequate to replace all items on a new for old basis. Even if you have purchased some equipment second hand, this must be insured for its full new replacement value. If you fail to insure for the correct value, you may not receive a full payment in the event of a claim. For example, selecting a limit of £10,000 when the true replacement value of all items is £20,000 will mean that you could only get 50% of the value of any claim paid as you have only insured for, and paid the premium for, half the value of your equipment.

You can amend your cover later to include protection against accidental damage. There is an excess of £500 each and every loss under this section.
