Our comprehensive exhibition stand builders insurance policy provides essential protection designed specifically for your trade:
Fundamental coverage that protects you if your work causes injury to visitors, other contractors, or venue staff, or damages property. With cover starting from £1 million (upgradeable to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million), you’re protected against compensation claims and legal costs.
Crucial protection that covers you if any exhibition stand or display component you’ve built, supplied, or installed causes damage or injury after completion. This could include anything from a display panel falling to electrical installations causing problems.
This cover, which comes as standard with £10,000 (upgradeable to £50,000), protects you if your work results in financial losses for clients, such as being unable to exhibit due to stand failure or missed deadlines.
Provides professional legal support and covers costs up to £250,000 for various disputes, including contract disagreements with venues or clients, and employment matters.
Automatically included for temporary work abroad lasting up to 14 days (excluding USA and Canada), essential for international trade shows and exhibitions across Europe and beyond.
Exhibition stand building presents unique challenges that general carpentry or construction insurance simply cannot adequately address. Consider the distinctive aspects of your work: constructing temporary structures that must be completely safe despite quick assembly times, working in venues with strict regulations and multiple contractors, handling expensive branded materials and custom displays, and operating under extreme time pressure with no room for delays.
Many major exhibition venues now require proof of substantial insurance coverage before allowing contractors on site, often demanding £2 million, £5 million or £10 million public liability limits. Without proper specialist coverage, you’re not just risking catastrophic financial losses – you’re effectively barring yourself from working at premier venues. Our exhibition stand builders insurance ensures you meet venue requirements whilst providing genuine protection against the specific risks you face.
Insurance premiums vary based on several factors, but our policies start from just £54* per year for sole traders. Your final premium depends on your annual turnover, number of employees, types of venues you work in, claims history, and the specific covers you select. Businesses working at major international venues or handling particularly high-value installations may pay more, whilst those focusing on smaller domestic exhibitions typically enjoy lower premiums.
We believe in complete transparency, providing instant online quotes that clearly display all costs upfront. There are no hidden charges or unexpected fees – just straightforward, affordable protection designed specifically for exhibition stand builders.

Most major exhibition venues in the UK require contractors to have public liability insurance with minimum coverage levels, typically £2 million or £5 million. They may also require you to provide proof of insurance before allowing you on-site. Our policies can be tailored to meet these requirements, and we can provide instant documentation that you can present to venue management.
Our standard policy includes worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days, excluding the USA and Canada. This means you’re covered for those important international trade shows in Europe and beyond. If you regularly work abroad or need longer coverage periods, we can discuss additional options to ensure you’re fully protected wherever your work takes you.
This type of claim would typically fall under professional indemnity insurance, which is one of our optional covers. It protects you against claims that your professional services, including design work or advice, have caused financial loss to your client. Given that exhibition stands are often designed to specific briefs with precise branding requirements, this cover can be particularly valuable for exhibition stand builders.
Beyond our automatic covers, several optional protections can significantly enhance your business security:
