Although engineering inspection insurance is not a legal requirement, it facilitates the process of completing the inspection. Regular inspections will usually be included as part of specialist inspection insurance to ensure that your statutory obligations are being met. You can also have breakdown and replacement coverage included.
It can be very expensive to repair a piece of equipment that breaks down seriously in your business. Occasionally, it may be necessary to replace the entire piece of equipment. You can select a policy that covers the damage to your engineering inspection equipment minus any excess you agree to pay. This helps minimize costly downtime and keeps you on the job.
You are assured that your legal requirements are being met through engineering inspection insurance as well as more extensive safety inspections to improve the approach to safety within your building.

● Pressurised boiler systems
● Any machinery that uses hydraulics, chains, ropes or wires.
● Pressure and compressor systems
● Electrical installations
