When you’re on the hunt for builder’s insurance, the first thing you’re likely to consider is public liability insurance, which is the core part of any home builders insurance policy. Simply put, it covers any claims made against you by third parties, or their property, for any injury or damage caused as a result of your business activities. This makes it a fundamental cover for any builder.
Our standard cover includes all of our five automatic covers. This protects against incidents such as flood damage from nailing through a pipe, accidentally damaging a neighbour’s wall while working on a property, or a member of the public tripping over your cables, rubble or supplies on site or on public footpaths. Products liability insurance protects you from any claims arising out of a product you’ve sold or supplied. It will also help cover any incurred legal expenses that result from an accident.
There are also other forms of liability insurance worth considering. For instance, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement if you employ anyone; professional indemnity insurance covers you for claims of professional negligence; and tool and equipment insurance might be worth considering for your particular building business.

How long does builders insurance last?
The majority of builders liability insurance policies are taken out on a twelve-month basis, and can be renewed annually. Customers will be able to make a claim for any damages or injuries at any point, though, as long as they can prove that their policy was valid at the time of the incident in question.
What information do I need to provide for builders insurance?
You will need to provide basic details such as your name, address and what kind of work you are engaged in. An insurer will also want to know the size of your operation, so you will be required to supply details of your annual turnover and how many people you have working for you. Insurers will also ask for details of any previous claims so it’s always worth having these to hand.
