Compare QuotesNo chimney sweep insurance should be without public liability cover. This is an especially important part of your personalised policy as this provides you with protection if your work activities cause damage to a client’s property or injury to another person. For instance, a customer could trip over your vacuum and hurt themselves, or you could accidentally drop soot on their very expensive sofa. In both of these situations, your client would have grounds to open a case against you, which could leave you with a costly bill if the incident was particularly extreme. Luckily, there’s no need to worry about these expenses once you have chimney sweep insurance, which includes public liability as standard. We cover all damages, so you can continue running your business as usual.
Standard public liability cover is £1 million but you can increase this up to £5 million, and the same applies to product liability cover as well. This protects your business if a product you’ve supplied, installed, or sold causes property damage or personal injuries.

Chimney sweeps have been sought-after in the UK since the Industrial Revolution, and though many years have since passed, the job is still as valuable as it was back then. Thanks to significant advances in the field, there’s now a better understanding of the dangers chimney sweeps face, making the job much safer today. However, you know that your work is still far from being risk-free, and even the smallest mistakes can cause serious accidents. Normally, you would have to pay compensation and legal fees if somebody made a claim against you. However, there’s no need to do so when you’re protected by chimney sweep insurance, ensuring your business’s finances will always remain intact.
Working as a chimney sweep is one of the most hazardous professions you could have. Unexpected incidents, like a build up of ash or other blockages, could potentially cause a devastating fire in your client’s property. Due to the high level of risk inherent to the job, standard packages will not be enough and instead, you need a dedicated chimney sweep insurance package so your business is kept safe no matter what happens.

There is no fixed price for chimney sweep insurance. The scale of your jobs, the number of any employees you have, and the combination of covers you require are three of the key factors that will influence the overall cost of your policy.
You’re legally obligated to have a valid employer’s liability insurance policy if your business has any employees. Though no other specifics are required by law, covers like public liability are essential if you want to safeguard your business. What’s more, many clients will refuse to employ chimney sweeps without the correct insurance in place, so you can avoid limiting your customer base by ensuring you’re properly protected.
