Property maintenance insurance cover in detail

What is property maintenance insurance?

Property maintenance can incorporate a number of trades, from gardening to painting to light building work. Ensuring you have adequate cover for all your business activities can give you peace of mind to focus on the job at hand.

Insurance covers to consider

When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:

Public liability insurance

When you’re working at clients’ homes, offices or premises, Public liability cover is a must-have. It can offer financial protection against accidental damage or accidental injury to third parties as a result of the work you do. If you accidentally knocked over a pot of paint that spilt onto a carpet, you could be liable to rectify the damage.

If a customer fell over your toolbox and claimed compensation for the injury, you’d be typically protected under public liability cover. If you are undertaking work which involves the use of heat, for instance working with a blowtorch, there are greater risks involved so the need for effective, comprehensive public liability cover is even more important

Employers' liability cover

If you employ people, whether it’s on a full or part-time basis, then you’ll need to take out employers’ liability insurance in case a member of staff has an accident at work. You’re required to do this by law, but both public and employers’ liability can be purchased together in one easy-to-buy property maintenance insurance policy.

Personal accident cover

Working in property maintenance has many benefits, including the perks of being your own boss. However, what would happen to you if you injured yourself or fell ill for any length of time. You hope this won’t happen, however to be prepared for these unexpected events you may want to consider adding personal accident and sickness insurance to your policy which can provide you with a weekly income to help you financially whilst you recover.

Tool & equipment insurance

Most tradespeople rely on their tools to trade. If your tools were stolen, you could find yourself unable to do your job. By adding tool cover to your property maintenance insurance you could minimise the disruption to your business and get back up and running without having to bear the full cost of replacing them.

Vehicle insurance

A commercial vehicle or van could be a crucial part of your business; whether it’s for deliveries, tools, or even just getting to and from your customers on a daily basis, we understand the need for a quality cover that gives you peace of mind. Take a look at the business van insurance page to find out more about van insurance for property maintenance.

Commercial legal protection

Litigation proceedings are becoming more and more common. Commercial legal protection can cover certain business-related events to give you financial peace of mind if a customer takes you to court. It can also offer protection against tax and VAT disputes and employment disputes as well. While some insurers will include this as standard others offer it as an additional extra.
