If you are a property owner, it is worth putting some precautions in place and making sure you are as well protected from storm damage as you possibly can be, including insurance for your practice and home.
Please do not leave it until you have to make a claim to read through your policy wording. We highly recommend you make yourself familiar with what is covered and what isn’t to reduce the possibility of any disappointment when making a claim.
