To make a claim, you need to arrange for a boiler engineer to visit your property and assess the boiler. They need to submit their report to us, so we can assess whether the claim is covered. If it is, we'll reimburse you for the repair/replacement costs, including parts, labour and call out charges, less the £200 excess.

It's the responsibility of the landlord (otherwise known as the owner or freeholder) to arrange commercial buildings insurance.
The tenant should look at arranging cover for their contents and any tenant's improvements. Tenants improvements being permanent alterations to the building they've made which wouldn't be covered under the landlord's buildings insurance policy.
Prices will vary as there are a number of factors used to calculate the cost of commercial buildings insurance, including:

If you're the owner of the property then you should look at arranging insurance cover for the commercial building to protect your investment from an insured event such as fire, flood or storm so you can get it repaired and your tenants can operate safely again.
