1. What is Tradesman Insurance and Why You Need It
As a tradesman, your tools, skills, and reputation are the foundation of your business. But every job comes with risks — from accidental damage to client property, to unexpected injuries on site, or even stolen tools. Tradesman Insurance is designed to protect you against these everyday hazards, so you can focus on your work without worrying about the financial consequences of an accident or claim.
Typical cover can include:
- Public Liability Insurance – Protection if your work causes injury or property damage to a third party.
- Tools and Equipment Cover – Safeguarding the tools you rely on from theft, loss, or damage.
- Employers’ Liability Insurance – A legal requirement if you employ anyone, even temporarily.
- Personal Accident Cover – Financial support if you’re injured and unable to work.
- Contract Works Cover – Protecting your ongoing projects from damage before completion.
Whether you’re a self-employed builder, electrician, plumber, or decorator, Tradesman Insurance ensures you can keep working even when the unexpected happens.
