A painter and decorator was finishing a job in a house with a newly laid carpet. They accidentally dropped an open tin of gloss with obvious results. The customer claimed the cost of the carpet and the labour to re-fit a new one.
Public liability insurance covered legal expenses and the compensation awarded.
A structural engineer was tasked with calculating the amount of steel beams and lintels required for a commercial building. During construction it became apparent that the calculations were wrong and the steel would not hold the required load. The project had to be restarted, resulting in a heavy financial loss and large claims against the engineer.
Professional indemnity cover paid the claim and helped keep the engineer in business.
A scaffolding business had scaffolded a house without securing it properly. In strong winds the scaffolding collapsed onto the next door neighbour's house, destroying a large section of the roof.
Public liability insurance covered the claim made against the business.
A kitchen fitter was fitting cupboards and accidentally knelt on a client's new electric hob, causing it to crack.
Public liability insurance covered the claim for a replacement hob and fitting costs.
A commercial carpet cleaning company was cleaning an office carpet when the heat was too high, which shrunk and discoloured the carpet.
Tradesman insurance covered the compensation claim for a new carpet and fitting costs.
Public liability insurance is often the most important cover for plasterers, as it protects you if someone is injured or their property is damaged as a result of your work. It's not a legal requirement, but many clients and trade bodies expect it. At Tradesman Insurance 4u, we offer limits of indemnity from £1 million to £10 million to suit the scale of your work.
If your business employs anyone, including contractors or temporary staff, you’re legally required to hold employers’ liability insurance. It covers you if an employee suffers injury or illness while working for you. This is especially important in high-risk industries like construction or manufacturing.
