Laundrette Insurance

If you own a laundrette or dry cleaners, you’re taking responsibility for your customer’s precious garments. Most of the time it’s straightforward and you can focus on running your business. But what happens if something goes wrong, and the clothes in your care are damaged, lost or stolen? Laundrette insurance is designed to protect your business from these risks. With it, you have peace of mind that any compensation claims can be paid. Insurance for your laundry business is an essential consideration for any new or existing business.

What can laundrette insurance cover?

Because of their explosive nature, anything connected with fireworks is high risk. And that can make finding the right laundrette insurance more complicated.

Specialist dry cleaners and laundrette insurance gives you a higher level of protection that a standard shop insurance policy. It covers you for the specific risks that your business faces and can be extended to meet your specific needs.

Some of the common things that can go wrong:

• A customer or employee could slip on wet floor and injure themselves, resulting in a claim for compensation
• Someone burns themselves on a machine that gets overheated resulting in a personal injury claim
• Your machine damages clothes, resulting in a claim for damage to property
• The wrong item is given to a customer, the original cannot be retrieved and your customer sues you for its value

What businesses can be insured?

Whether you have one shop or a chain of dry cleaners, it’s a manned laundrette or unmanned, or it’s a commercial laundry or a high street shop, Park Insurance can source and tailor your laundrette insurance to meet your specific business needs.
