 Awning Installation Business Insurance Cover

Our standard cover is:

  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)

However, like any trade, awning installation comes with its own set of risks. When you’re working at height, with heavy materials, you’re not only putting yourself at risk, but the general public and your client’s property.

That’s where Tradesman Saver’s tailored awning installation insurance comes in. As one of  the UK’s leading insurance providers, we can provide you with the protection you need to focus on your craft without worrying about potential financial setbacks.

What Does Awning Installation Insurance Cover?

Our comprehensive awning installation insurance package is designed to address the specific needs of your trade. Here’s what you can expect from our standard cover:

  • £1 million public and products liability insurance (with options to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 financial loss cover (with an option to increase to £50,000)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad (up to 14 days, excluding the USA and Canada)
  • £250,000 legal expenses cover with access to a 24-hour legal helpline

In addition to these core protections, our awnings business insurance policy includes several other valuable covers as standard:

  1. Products Liability Insurance: This safeguards you against claims arising from damage or injury caused by awnings you’ve installed or supplied.
  2. Accidental Death Cover: Provides financial protection for your business in the unfortunate event of accidental death.
  3. Tools and Equipment Cover: Protects your essential tools and equipment against theft, loss, or damage.
  4. Personal Accident Insurance: Offers financial support if you or an employee suffers an injury that prevents work.

Why Do Awning Installers Need Insurance?

Awning installation may seem straightforward, but it comes with various risks that could potentially lead to significant financial losses if not properly insured. Here are some scenarios where having the right insurance coverage is invaluable:

  • While installing an awning cover, you accidentally damage the client’s property, such as breaking a window or damaging the exterior wall.
  • A poorly installed awning collapses, injuring a passerby or damaging a vehicle parked below.
  • Your tools are stolen from your van overnight, leaving you unable to complete scheduled jobs.
  • You or an employee falls from a ladder while installing an awning, resulting in injury and time off work.

These situations highlight why having comprehensive insurance is not just a precaution, but a necessary safeguard for your business’s financial stability and reputation.

FAQs

Awning Installation Insurance FAQs

The cost of your insurance will depend on several factors specific to your business:

  • The size of your business and annual turnover
  • The number of employees you have
  • The types of awnings you install (residential, commercial, or both)
  • Your claims history
  • The level of cover you choose

At Tradesman Saver, we understand that every awning installation business is unique. That’s why we offer tailored quotes to ensure you get the right coverage at a competitive price. Our policies start from as low as £54 per year, with the option to spread the cost through monthly instalments if your annual premium exceeds £125.

While not legally required, public liability insurance is highly recommended for awning installers. Many clients, especially commercial ones, may require you to have this coverage before allowing you to work on their property, whether you’re installing a full awning, or a partial porch awning.

Yes, our standard public liability insurance covers work on most types of buildings. However, if you frequently work on listed or historic properties, it’s worth discussing this with our team to ensure you have adequate coverage.

If the error is due to your professional advice or design services, you would need professional indemnity insurance for coverage. Our standard public liability insurance covers accidental damage during installation but not errors in professional judgement.

With Tradesman Saver, you can get insured instantly. Simply complete our online quote process, select your coverage, and pay. You’ll receive your policy documents immediately via email.

Absolutely. We understand that businesses evolve, and your insurance needs may change. You can adjust your coverage at any time by contacting our customer service team.
