Sometimes called ‘Commercial Combined Insurance’, Tradesmen Insurance packages bring together the different kinds of insurance cover that you might need as a professional tradesperson in one policy.
Typically, Tradesmen Insurance can provide cover if there is an injury caused to your customers or the public or damage caused to their property as a result of your work. It can cover your employees against accident, injury (or heaven forbid) death sustained while working for you. It may also cover you for lost or damaged tools, and cover against trade materials or products letting you down and causing expensive reparations.

As a professional tradesperson, it makes sense to have protection towards for your business and your customers from mishaps, accidents and failed equipment, products or services. Mistakes do happen and they can be extremely costly.
Tradesmen Liability Insurance can provide cover if the worst were to happen; it doesn’t take your business with it.
In addition, some insurance is a legal requirement. If you have employees, even if they are contractors or casual labourer’s rather than permanent employees, you must have Employers Liability Insurance. If you bid for contracts with larger firms, councils or other contractors, many will make insurance a condition of awarding the job.
