What does burglary insurance cover?

The policy pays for stock, contents, equipment and furnishings stolen in a break-in involving forcible and violent entry, and for damage to your premises caused by the burglars getting in or out. Cover is usually arranged on a first-loss or full-value basis and sits naturally alongside a fire policy to give rounded protection for your premises.

What security do I need?

Premises should have sound doors, locks, grilles and, for higher sums insured, an alarm in working order. Reasonable security is a condition of cover and also reduces the likelihood of a loss. Your Provident agent will advise the protections expected for your stock value and location.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Does burglary insurance cover theft by an employee?
No. Employee theft is covered under a Fidelity Guarantee policy. Burglary covers theft by outsiders following forcible entry.
Is forced entry required to claim?
Generally yes — cover applies to theft involving forcible and violent entry or exit. Theft by trickery or without a break-in is excluded.
Can I combine burglary with fire cover?
Yes, and most businesses do. Together they protect your premises and stock against the most common causes of loss.
