The nature of bespoke door and window making presents several distinct risks that general carpentry insurance might not adequately cover. You’re often working with expensive materials like hardwood timber and specialist glass, using machinery that requires significant investment, and creating products that must meet exact specifications.
Consider what might happen if you accidentally damage a client’s property whilst installing a new window frame – perhaps drilling through a hidden water pipe or cracking expensive tiles. You could face thousands of pounds in repair costs and compensation claims without proper public liability insurance. Similarly, if a door you’ve installed fails and causes injury to someone, products liability insurance would protect you from the resulting legal costs and compensation payments.
The risks extend beyond installation, too. Your workshop likely contains valuable machinery and tools essential to your craft. If these were stolen or damaged, could your business afford to replace them immediately? Tools and equipment insurance ensures you can get back to work quickly without a devastating financial impact.

Working with glass presents obvious hazards – not only the risk of injury from broken glass but also the potential for expensive mistakes:
Insurance costs vary depending on several factors, including your annual turnover, number of employees, claims history, and the specific types of work you undertake. Sole traders working on residential properties might pay from £54* per year for basic public liability cover, whilst larger operations with employees and comprehensive tool coverage could expect to pay more.
The beauty of Carpenter Saver’s approach is that you only pay for the coverage you actually need. Our online quote system allows you to build a bespoke insurance package that matches your business perfectly, ensuring you’re neither over-insured nor leaving dangerous gaps in your protection.

Our door and window makers insurance covers you regardless of the materials you work with. Whether you’re crafting traditional timber joinery, working with modern UPVC systems, or combining materials like timber and aluminium, our policies can be tailored to your specific trade activities. The key is ensuring your insurer knows about all aspects of your work so your coverage is comprehensive.
This is exactly why products liability insurance is so important for door and window makers. Products liability cover protects you against claims arising from items you’ve manufactured or installed, even years after completion. If a window mechanism fails and injures someone, or a door frame deteriorates and causes property damage, this insurance would cover the legal costs and compensation claims, protecting your business from potentially ruinous expenses.
Carpenter Saver can provide coverage for restoration work on period properties and listed buildings. Due to the specialist knowledge required, these projects often involve irreplaceable features and require additional professional indemnity cover. When getting a quote, simply specify that you work on restoration projects, and we’ll ensure your policy includes appropriate coverage levels for this specialised work.
