RISK MANAGEMENT
Please read this section carefully

Construction

Unless we tell you otherwise the cover we offer you and the premium we charge assume that your premises is/are of standard construction (i.e. non-combustible, such as brick or stone walls, concrete floors and staircases and a slate or tiled roof), well maintained and in particular, the doors, door frames and window frames are in good condition.

Security on the premises

The provision of theft cover is dependent on minimum security measures which must be operative overnight and when the premises are unoccupied. The minimum standards of security are written into the policy wording and are as follows:-

  1. Final exit doors must be secured as follows:

    • timber doors - by mortice deadlocks having five or more levers or conforming to BS3621 fitted in conjunction with 7" box steel striking plates
    • aluminium doors - by cylinder mortice lock operating a swinging lock bolt
    • PVCU doors - by key operated multi-point locking devices
    • the first closing leaf of double leaf doors must be fitted internally with bolts top and bottom
  2. All other external doors and internal doors leading to common areas or other premises, must be secured:

    • by the means set out in a. or
    • by key operated security bolts fitted top and bottom
  3. All accessible windows be:

    • fitted with grilles or shutters AND/OR
    • fitted with key operated window locks or fixed permanently shut
  4. Any security measure stipulated or agreed in writing by the insurers

Any door or window officially designated a fire exit by the Fire Authority is excluded from these requirements.

In the majority of cases, an intruder alarm will also be a requirement of the policy. Unless we specify otherwise the alarm must be installed and maintained by a NACOSS approved security company and connected to a central monitoring station incorporating BT RedCare line monitoring. (NACOSS is the National Approval Council for Security Systems).

Further security measures may be required or recommended if the insurance company carries out a survey, which will be at the discretion of the insurers.
