Tradesman Insurance FAQs
What is Tradesman Insurance?
Tradesman Insurance is a package of policies specifically tailored to those who are self-employed or run small businesses offering skilled trades. For instance, carpentry, bricklaying or plumbing.
Insurance for tradesmen therefore offers protection for your tools, equipment and liabilities linked to members of the public or any staff. As a result, it typically includes Tradesman Public Liability Insurance, Employers’ Liability Insurance and Tradesman Tool Insurance.
Do I need Tradesman Insurance?
If you employ anyone within your business, including apprentices, you will need Employers’ Liability Insurance. This is a legal requirement and means that you gain financial protection should an employee claim that they were injured or made ill by carrying out work for you.
Even though other cover included in Tradesman Insurance isn’t a legal obligation, it is still worth bearing in mind. This is because damaged or stolen tools and equipment can be expensive to repair or replace. You may also face compensation claims from members of the public for any damage to their property or injury to themselves.
And what happens if a client isn’t happy with your work and asks for compensation?
