When you commission a professional insurance valuation, it provides you with:

  • Certainty that you are correctly insured. The plant and machinery schedules which are a fundamental part of the assessment process provide a breakdown of the main assets on a site along with replacement costs, along with figures for smaller sundry items, building up to the total sums insured, a vital part of the insurance process

The possibility that the average clause will be removed if you make a claim

The ability to speed up and make it easier to negotiate with a loss adjuster should a claim be made and replacement equipment needed urgently

A written down plan for the replacement of assets taking into account non-essential or surplus equipment which could be insured under a different basis

Asset Management

Providing You with Specialist advice and support with regard to Asset Management

As a fundamental part of the process of undertaking a reinstatement cost assessment of plant & machinery, Moorcroft Valuation Surveyors prepare a schedule of your plant & machinery assets, providing a breakdown of the main assets with replacement costs, along with figures for smaller sundry items, building up to the total sums insured.

These schedules can be provided to clients and used internally by them for asset management purposes.


Flexible Agreements

One off Valuations or Multi-Year / Flexible Agreements tailored to Your Individual Requirements

Whilst one-off insurance valuations of buildings and plant & machinery/contents are the answer to making sure your sums insured are correct, many of our clients prefer to have their insurance valuations undertaken yearly through a mix of site visits and desktop updates over a period of three to six years, depending on their requirements.

As well as keeping up with trends in rebuild costs for property, trends in plant and machinery replacements costs are considered, and fluctuations in foreign machinery exchange rates are taken into account, which can have a considerable effect on the sums insured.


Schedules of buildings and machinery

As part of any instruction, schedules of buildings and / or Plant & Machinery are an integral part of any valuation undertaken on your behalf

In particular the schedules of plant & machinery can be extremely useful to companies in their asset management strategies and can be provided by Moorcroft Valuation Surveyors as an add on service.

These can also be provided as a schedule only without a valuation being carried out.


Director led support

Moorcroft Valuation Surveyors adopt a director led approach to all instructions, with a dedicated team offering specialist advice and support. This means that You can be assured that Your instructions are carried out to the exacting standards that You expect as a business.

Moorcroft Valuation Surveyors adopt a director led approach to all instructions, with the Managing Director, an RICS member and registered valuer, being the key contact for all clients, liaising with the client during the proposal period, taking the instruction, visiting the site to assist in undertaking the on site valuation work, and preparing and finalising the report.

This means that clients can be safe in the knowledge that all instructions are carried out to Moorcroft Valuation Surveyors exacting standards and in-line with RICS regulation.
