At Cleaner Saver, we’ve crafted a comprehensive insurance package tailored to the needs of sole trader cleaners. Our policies are flexible, allowing you to choose the coverage that best suits your specific requirements. Here’s an overview of what our sole trader cleaning insurance typically includes:
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance is the backbone of any sole trader cleaner’s insurance policy. It protects you if a member of the public or a client makes a claim against you for injury or property damage caused by your work. Our coverage starts from £1 million and can be increased up to £5 million to meet the requirements of larger contracts.
For example, if you accidentally knock over and break an expensive vase while cleaning a client’s home, or if a client slips on a wet floor you’ve just mopped, public liability insurance would cover the costs of any resulting claims.
Tools and Equipment Insurance
Your cleaning equipment is essential to your business. Tools insurance covers the cost of repairing or replacing your equipment if it’s lost, stolen, or damaged. This includes:
- Vacuum cleaners
- Steam cleaners
- Mops and buckets
- Cleaning chemicals and solutions
- Any other specialised equipment you use
Personal Accident Insurance
As a sole trader, your income depends on your ability to work. Personal accident insurance provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to an accident. This cover can help with:
- Loss of income
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation costs
Product Liability Insurance
Product liability insurance is crucial if you use or supply cleaning products as part of your services. It protects you if a client suffers injury or property damage due to a product you’ve used or supplied. For instance, if a client has an allergic reaction to a cleaning product you’ve used, or if a product causes unexpected damage to a surface, this insurance would cover the associated costs.
Legal Expenses Insurance
While not included as standard, legal expenses insurance is available as a separate policy. This cover can be invaluable if you face legal disputes related to your business, helping with costs such as:
- Employment disputes
- Contract disputes
- Tax investigations
- Property protection
