Carpenter insurance

All tradespeople – plumbers, carpenters, cabinet makers, electricians – work in inherently risky environments. As a carpenter, the tools you use can cause serious damage if they’re mishandled. And even the most careful carpenters make mistakes.

Outside the shop, a faulty screw or affixer could cause your handiwork to harm somebody (or damage their property) long after the process is complete.

Comprehensive coverage is a boon for any business – but it’s important to have cover that’s right for yours.

We strongly recommend considering professional indemnity insurance if you provide advice or design services to your clients. 

Professional indemnity insurance can cover your business for allegations of negligence involving a breach of professional duty. This is typically excluded under public liability insurance.

It depends.

If a subcontractor injures a third party or damages their property, they may be covered by their client’s public liability policy.

However, if a subcontractor is negligent and leaves their tools out, causing a third party to trip and injure themselves, then this claim may need to be made under the subcontractor’s policy.

As such, we strongly recommend subcontractors consider arranging their own public liability insurance to be appropriately covered.
