Tradesman Saver’s Public Liability Cover For Drain Cleaners


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million or £5 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

There are many insurance options which would benefit your drain cleaners business, and public liability is one of the most significant. This protects you if your work ends up damaging a client’s property or injuring a client or member of the public. For example, you may need to pay compensation if a client trips over your tools and is injured or you accidentally damage a customer’s carpet with your muddy work boots.

Claims such as this can cost a small fortune but having public liability cover means you won’t be responsible for paying any of the resulting expenses. You can purchase this as part of our automatic package, which also covers you for financial loss, legal expenses, and more.

Other relevant insurance policies for a drain cleaners business include employer’s liability, which is a legal requirement for anybody who employs staff, and professional indemnity insurance.  Here at Tradesman Saver we have all the coverage you may need as a drain cleaner and you can get your quote online in minutes.

Drain Cleaning Disaster!

Don’t be left without the protection you need when disaster strikes!  Take a look at the claims example below which demonstrates why every drain cleaner needs good quality insurance:

Public Injury

You’re on a job cleaning a drain for the council, but as you’re in the process of cleaning the drain, a passerby trips over your cleaning hose. They sustain injuries and decide to claim compensation against you. In this instance, your public liability insurance is your safety net – it’ll cover the costs of the compensation, so you can maintain focus on running your business.

*This indicative price is for £1m public and products liability, £250,000 legal expenses, £10,000 financial loss and £10,000 accidental death insurance cover for a sole trader. The price includes insurance premium tax but excludes our admin charge. 17% of new customers paid less than £59 between 1st January 2023 and 31st January 2023. The actual price you pay will depend upon your specific business requirements and will be affected by your trade, your claims history and the optional covers you select which are all priced separately during the quote process.
