Contractors Insurance

Contractors’ insurance can be tailored – with the help of Hallsdale Insurance – to suit your precise needs as a contractor for both you and your clients.

It could be a simple public liability insurance policy, but often it brings together a range of business cover for the contract works you are carrying out for your customers.

This could be public liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance, equipment cover, tools over and personal accident.

It all depends on you and your sector of work which can be varied, from IT consultancy, marketing consultants, financial planners to building contractors, electricians, plumbers and decorators.

If you perform contract work of any type and could be liable for an accident at work, accidentally injuring somebody, damage to premises, expensive broken equipment, or personal injury – you need to consider contractor insurance.

Contractor insurance is not a legal requirement (unless you have employees whereby employers’ liability is a legal requirement) BUT not only does it protect you as a contractor, your customers and clients are likely to insist on contractors’ insurance if they are to use you.

Contractors’ Insurance is widely regarded as a “must have” insurance policy. This is for 2 main reasons:

  • To protect you and your client(s) against any damage or injury caused because of your work.
  • To ensure you win contractors work by providing your insurance cover as part of your proposal for winning the contract, showing you have robust cover in place.

Regardless of your type of contractor’s equipment, the cost of replacing is likely higher than ever should theft or accidental damage occur.

The same applies to any damage to the customers premises as a result of your work. The cost of repair has never been higher, both in terms of materials and labour.

So robust contractors’ insurance containing public liability, tools, equipment, professional indemnity is now more important than ever before.

Contractors’ Insurance additional cover:

  • Legal cover – legal helpline and legal costs covered if you need expert advice
  • Breakdown cover – for your business vehicles
  • Fleet Insurance – if you have 3+ vehicles in your business
