Fire and Allied perils
Property insured usually consists of immovable and movable property such as buildings, plant and machinery, stocks, furniture, fixtures and fittings, and other contents.

Cover is also available in respect of the costs of debris removal, claims preparation, architect’s and consulting engineer’s fees. Where property is rented to other parties, loss of rent consequent to damage to the property can be covered under the same policy.

The basic risks covered are that of fire, lightning and a limited explosion cover. Additionally, natural perils such as cyclone, flood, volcanic eruption, earthquake, tidal wave, subsidence, landslip and heave can be covered. Other perils usually insured under this policy are full explosion, impact damage, fall of aircraft, bursting or overflowing of water tanks, apparatus or pipes, sprinkler leakage and burglary
