Our comprehensive roof cleaning insurance package is designed to provide robust protection for your business. Here’s an overview of the key coverages included:
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance is a cornerstone of any roof cleaning business’s insurance policy. It protects you if a member of the public or a client makes a claim against you for injury or property damage caused by your work. For roof cleaners, this could include scenarios such as:
- Accidentally dislodging roof tiles that fall and damage a client’s vehicle
- A passerby being injured by falling debris during the cleaning process
- Water damage to the interior of a property due to improper sealing during cleaning
Our public liability cover starts from £1 million, with options to increase up to £5 million for larger contracts or high-risk environments. This ensures you’re adequately protected, no matter the scale of your operations.
Employers’ Liability Insurance
If you employ staff, even on a casual or temporary basis, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement in the UK. This cover protects your business if an employee becomes ill or injured due to their work. For roof cleaning businesses, this could include:
- An employee falling from a ladder while accessing a roof
- Respiratory issues developed from prolonged exposure to cleaning chemicals
- Injuries sustained from operating pressure washing equipment
Cleaner Saver provides £10 million employers’ liability cover as standard, ensuring you’re fully compliant with UK regulations and your employees are protected.
Tools and Equipment Insurance
Your roof cleaning equipment is essential to your business operations. Our tools and equipment insurance covers the cost of replacing or repairing your equipment if it’s lost, stolen, or damaged. This includes:
- Pressure washers and steam cleaners
- Ladders and safety harnesses
- Specialised roof cleaning brushes and applicators
Having this cover means you can quickly replace vital equipment and minimise downtime for your business.
Personal Accident Insurance
As a self-employed roof cleaner or small business owner, your income depends on your ability to work. Personal accident insurance provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to an accident. This cover can help with:
- Loss of income during recovery
- Medical expenses not covered by the NHS
- Rehabilitation costs
This insurance ensures that an accident doesn’t lead to financial hardship for you or your family.
Product Liability Insurance
Product liability insurance offers protection if a client suffers injury or property damage because of a product you’ve used or supplied. For roof cleaners, this could include:
- Allergic reactions to cleaning chemicals
- Damage to roof materials due to incompatible cleaning products
- Issues arising from the use of sealants or protective coatings
This coverage is particularly important given the variety of products used in roof cleaning and the potential for unforeseen reactions or effects.
