What is general tradesman insurance?
Tradesman insurance, also known as contractors insurance, is a form of business insurance designed to protect tradespeople against any loss or damage that occurs as part of running their business. This specialist form of insurance can be taken out by a range of tradespeople, including builders, painters, decorators, electricians, plumbers, cleaners, and specialist subcontractors. Instead of taking out separate policies for things like public liability, income protection, and business equipment, insurance for tradesmen combines all of these standard protections in a single, easy-to-manage tradesmen insurance policy.
Typical coverage options required by tradespeople include:
- Public Liability
- General Property Insurance
- General Business Insurance
- Workers Compensation
- Employers’ Liability
- Fire and Theft
- Loss of Income
- Accidents and Sickness
- Risks Policy
- Tools & Equipment cover
We can also set up suitable cover for tradesmen that have commercial vehicles to insure too, whether it’s just a single van to get you to and from your jobs or even a whole fleet of vehicles. Find out more about our commercial vehicle insurance and fleet insurance.
