Our tradesman insurance broker service is aimed at small businesses and sole traders who carry out a variety of work at third party locations.
We know that each trade is unique, so we will always tailor our tradesman insurance cover to give you the confidence you need when you are out working. Whether you simply need public liability cover, or you want to make sure your most important tools, plant and materials are protected from theft or accidental damage, our brokers can build a policy that caters for all eventualities.
Please note that public and products liability will be covered as standard within any of our tradesman insurance policies, giving you complete peace of mind that your basic needs will always be taken care of.
What can traders insurance offer you?
Tradesman and trade liability insurance policies are flexible and can be tailored to meet the needs of your business. They are also suitable for sole traders.
You’ll have:
- The ability to include up to 10 employees for employers’ liability of £10,000,000
- The opportunity to include temporary employees if required
- Tools cover, including laptop computers
- Contract works cover, with a choice of limits and the option to insure your own plant and hired-in plant
- Personal accident cover for all employees, with the option to choose your limit
- Optional commercial legal expenses cover
- Access to helplines provided automatically
This type of insurance is designed for the majority of tradesmen, sole traders and contractors where the primary cover is for third party liability. We can also add employers’ liability, tools cover, contract works cover, plant (including hired in plant) cover, personal accident benefits and commercial legal expenses to your policy if these areas are of interest.
Trade-specific coverage – for example, to cater for those who work at height or depth, or are exposed to heat – can be made available as required.
