Tradesperson Insurance
As a self-employed tradesman, it is essential that you obtain adequate Public Liability Insurance, as this will protect you if you are subject to litigation for any third party injury or third party property damage that has been caused by you. We can offer public liability coverage up to £10m to protect you from legal defence costs and also compensation costs awarded to a third party.

Legal Expenses
There’s no shortage of choice when it comes to tradesman insurance, but this can often confuse matters further. We offer both package and specialist tradesman insurance cover based on your requirements. That means that every insurance policy we arrange for tradespeople is different; therefore, we start with an initial call to discuss what your business does, what it’s potential exposures are, and what cover, we believe, is required to give you the right protection.
Ask us about...
A Tradesman policy will be rated on a “Per Capita” basis. If your business employs more than 10 staff at any one time, then a “Wages & Turnover” rated Contractors' policy may be more appropriate (See Contractors Combined).
Should you choose to appoint us as your broker then we will swiftly e-mail documents and any relevant certificates to you. Duplicate documents, by email, will also be available on request during the policy year for no additional charge. We’d love to help you with your Tradesman Insurance, contact us or request a call back and get covered today!
