What is Equipment Breakdown Insurance?
If your business relies on specialist machinery, you know how important that equipment is for your ability to operate and generate income. Unplanned machinery outages can cause:
- Interruption to workflows
- Damage to company reputation
- Safety concerns
- Lost profits
- Loss of stock
- Increased need for staff to compensate
Having an equipment breakdown policy tailored to your needs can save you from suffering the full impact of a breakdown.
You can receive compensation for stock spoilage, cover for a temporary replacement, loss of profits and repair or replacement of equipment.
What can be covered
- Equipment breakdown
- Loss of gross profit
- Temporary equipment hire
- Stock spoilage
- Boilers & pressure vessels
What may not be
- Accidental damage, fire & perils
- Any issues covered by manufacturer warranty
- General wear & tear
- Failure to maintain or service equipment

Equipment Breakdown claim example
John owns a popular cafe in a busy locale close to the city. During the night, a power surge caused the coffee machine and fridge to malfunction and stop working.
As a result his food and drink stock was spoiled, and the coffee machine unable to be used to make drinks. He discovered this early in the morning an hour before opening and made contact with his insurer straight away.
His equipment breakdown insurance covered the costs of arranging temporary hire of a coffee machine while it was repaired and the loss of his stock which he was able to replace and store in an alternative refrigerator.

Words can not explain or express my greatest appreciation for Alison's dedication to reducing our insurances by 10k. Alison's assistance and experience in the industry is outstanding. Ali put in a fair few dedicated … More days(weeks) into understanding our businesses and sending out hundreds of quotes, and then consolidating all the information. I was speechless when she gave me the insurance figures for 5 restaurant's, we even went through them 3 times to ensure we hadn't missed anything when compared to the previous insurances we had. The monthly amount we have to pay is minimal compared to what we had been paying. I still don't believe it.I would recommend you, Alison and your company to anybody who had the inclination to listen to me. I am extremely happy and still in shock days later.Merry Christmas Ali, I hope you get something extra special in your Christmas stocking this year from the Boss. Look forward to working with you again in the new year.

She was an absolute pleasure to speak with - warm, professional, and genuinely invested in her clients. Her attitude and efficiency were outstanding.I will absolutely be referring her going forward, she is truly amazing and I cannot wait to work with her further!
