Our trade insurance packages include public liability cover as standard. You can choose to include extra protection allowing you to tailor your trade insurance policy to ensure that you protect every aspect of your business.

Trade insurance packages are for both manual and professional tradesmen, and we can insure over 500 different trades from builders to consultants.

As well as your public liability insurance, we can also provide you with professional indemnity insurance, to protect you against claims for loss or damage as a result of mistakes or negligence.

Key features of our trades insurance policies

  • Public Liability - a key element of our trade insurance policies, you can protect your business with a level of indemnity that suits your business - choose from £1 million, £2 million, £5 million or £10 million.
  • Employers' Liability - we can provide insurance for up to £10 million under our trades insurance policies. Under UK employment law it is a legal requirement to hold employers' liability insurance if you have any employees or use labour only subcontractors.
  • Tools Cover - we can provide protection for loss or damage to your tools and business equipment including laptops, computer equipment and accessories. We can also insure your goods in transit.
  • Plant Cover - protect your own plant, hired in plant, equipment, machinery and site huts whilst on site, and in transit to and from your site.
  • Business Interruption - protect yourself from additional costs incurred as a result of damage to property insured. This cover also protects you from any loss of income incurred following failure of a public supply of electricity, gas or water, preventing you from completing your contract.
  • Personal Accident - protect yourself against loss of income following an accident which prevents you from working. We give you the option to choose whether you require protection at work only, or 24 hour cover.
