Garage Block Insurance – Specialist Cover for Multiple Garages

Each policy also includes £2 million property owners’ public liability insurance, helping protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged in connection with the garage block.

Garage Block Insurance for Let Garages

Garage blocks are often let to local residents for private storage or vehicle parking. Cover can remain suitable where the garages are used for normal private purposes and are not being used for commercial activity.

No cover is provided if any garage is used as a business location, workshop, trade premises or commercial storage unit. If there is any uncertainty about how a tenant is using a garage, this should be checked before arranging cover.

Examples of Garage Block Insurance Claims

Storm Damage – High winds damage the roof across several garages in the block.
Vehicle Impact – A driver reverses into a garage door or external wall.
Theft and Break-In – Intruders force entry and damage doors, frames or locks.
Escape of Water – A burst pipe causes damage to part of the garage structure.
Falling Trees – A falling branch damages the roof or wall of the garage block.

Policy Ownership – What Name Should the Policy Be In?

The policy should be arranged in the correct legal name of the garage block owner or ownership body. This helps ensure the cover reflects the correct insurable interest if a claim is made.

Policies can be issued in individual names, joint names, company names, charity names, trust names, management company names and recognised pension ownership structures.

If the garage block is jointly owned, held through a company, or subject to a financial interest, getting the policy name correct from the outset helps avoid complications later.
