Public liability cover for Tradesmen and builders protects against injury or death of third party persons and damage to third party property from incidents arising as a result of your business activities. Employers Liability will cover you against claims from Employees following Injury or Accidents at Work

The next level up is a wage roll and turnover rated risk

If your turnover exceeds the £250,000 limit you will need to be covered under a contractors policy, with additional covers for:

Do you really need liability cover?

Contractors cover is important for both sole traders and businesses with employees. Public liability insurance is the backbone of the policy, and is complemented by a range of other covers which can provide protection for other aspects of your business. For example your tools can be covered, as can stock, buildings or hired in plant equipment. It also can provide Employers Liability cover for your employees and/or labour only sub-contractors, which is required by law.
