Anyone know if a cemented in ground anchor would be deemed 'an immovable object'

long story short I am moving my bikes into a new galvanised steel shed out back and I will be chaining them (D lock and chain both Sold Secure Silver) to a ground anchor cemented into the concrete patio floor but I don't want to void my bike insurance - I am awaiting a response from the insurance company but they are taking ages to reply.

    Which company is it?
    They normally have a FAQ which should explain it.

    I would say a ground anchor is an immovable object (After all bike hoops and lamposts are only concreted or bolted down)

    My insurance company says you don't need to chain bikes up if they are in a locked shed/garage.

    Who are you insured with, and are they in the UK?
