Tradespeople

Electrician, builder, plumber, carpenter, painter & decorator, plasterer… whatever your trade, you need tailored insurance that provides you with exactly the level of cover you require, safeguarding your business and your interests.

Whatever the nature of your business, whether you’re working in people’s homes, on a building site or a large commercial project, you face a wide range of risks on a daily basis.

By its very nature, the building industry has many unforeseen hazards, which not only calls for a cool head and an experienced approach, but also appropriate insurance in place, protecting you and the people around you, not to mention damage to property and theft of tools and equipment.

We can provide a solution tailored to your exact needs, whether on an annual or project basis, providing such covers as public and employers’ liability, tool theft, hired in plant, personal accident, contract works, goods in transit and professional indemnity.

Talk to us in the first instance and let’s get the ball rolling. We can arrange appropriate cover quickly and efficiently, ensuring you’re protected.
