Liability Insurance for Contractors - Available for over 400 trade types

The ever-present risk of injury, damage and the resultant litigation coupled with growing regulation & legislation, mean that, today more than ever, businesses need the protection of Public and Employers’ Liability Insurance. Our General Liability Policy is designed to meet the needs of larger, more complex businesses and is available for over 400 trade types.

We are able to insure most companies operating in this sector, including cover for their ancillary activities, such as plumbing works where this forms a small proportion of the risk.

Rates are dependent on number of years trading, claims experience, activities conducted and areas worked, with discounts available for trade association membership.

Key points:

Cover arranged with “A” rated carriers. 

Statement of fact basis – no need for proposal form.

Ability to cover low risk trades working at high risk locations.

Cover:

The Liability Policy is designed for risks written on a wages and turnover basis. Cover can include the following as standard but higher limits may be available on request:

Public Liability – up to £5 million with the option to include treatment liability where required.

Products Liability – up to £5 million with the option to include exports to the USA/Canada  where required.

Employers’ Liability £10 million
