Applying for a tailored home builders insurance policy can make your life a great deal easier, not to mention safer, and we keep the cost of our home builders insurance low because peace of mind shouldn’t break the bank.

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 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 and supplies on site or on public footpaths.
There are also other forms of liability insurance worth considering. For instance, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement if you employ anyone. Products liability insurance protects you from any claims arising out of a product you’ve sold or supplied. And professional indemnity insurance covers you for claims of professional negligence. All of these are useful considerations when choosing to take out your own home builders insurance.

Builders Insurance: Frequently Asked Questions
What does builders insurance cover?
Home builders insurance isn’t one single thing. Instead, our cover spans across a number of key insurance policies, which we package under this wider label. At Tradesman Saver, we include products and public liability, financial loss, accidental death and legal expenses cover as standard in all of our builders insurance policies. We also provide optional cover for employers liability, protection for tools and equipment, personal accident, professional indemnity and contractors all risks.
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.
