Swinton Commercial Advice for Businesses: What to Do in the Event of a Flood
(firmenpresse) - MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 07/23/12 -- UK business insurance broker Swinton Commercial is offering advice to businesses on minimising damage caused by flooding, after new reports show that unrelenting bad weather in Britain is costing UK businesses millions of pounds every day.
A new report by the Association of British Insurers published last week revealed that flooding caused by recent freak UK weather is seeing insurance companies paying out an average of GBP 17m a day for property damage.
Reports show that thousands of businesses across the UK have been affected by the recent weather and more could suffer with no end to the wet weather in sight.
Swinton Commercial is offering businesses advice on what to do after a flood to help minimise the impact on your business and your livelihood, including:
Brian Greenfield, Chartered Insurance Broker at Swinton Commercial, said: "Thousands of businesses across the UK have been affected by flooding in the last few weeks, and many more are expected to suffer. It's therefore essential that you know what to do in the event of your business flooding, which can help to minimise damage to both your property and your livelihood.
"It's always a good idea to check your as a starting point in the event of a flood. If you need to make a claim, it's a good idea to make a record by photographing any damage to your business premises, equipment and goods. Always check with your company before you start salvaging goods and repairing damage. They can often recommend suitable tradesmen to help you, and may be willing to make an interim payment to help you get your business going again as quickly as possible. Local authorities usually provide skips and extra rubbish collections for items that your insurance company has agreed you can throw away."
