What is construction public liability insurance?
Working in the construction industry can be a really tough career path, especially when you run your own construction business. You spend your whole day out on construction sites, doing your job. Then you come home and before you’ve even had a chance to kick your shoes off, you have to get straight back to work again, wading through stacks of paperwork, invoices and taxes. It’s enough to drive anyone round the bend, but after all of that the very last thing you want to have to worry about is the possibility of compensation claims and accidents. All you want is to make a cup of tea, put up your feet and relax with total peace of mind that no matter what goes wrong, you’re covered.

Tradesman Saver’s Public Liability Cover For Construction Companies
Our standard cover is:

- 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 construction 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 construction 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 construction company and you can get your quote online in minutes.

Understanding Public Liability Insurance For Construction
Finding the right insurance policy for your construction business can be a challenge. There’s a whole wealth of insurance terminology to try and wade through and it can often leave you feeling more confused than when you started! The one cover you need to know about though is public liability. Public liability insurance is like the foundation of your insurance policy. It covers your business for any injury to third parties or damage to their property. It even protects you from claims made against you by your clients, or members of the public, who may have been hurt by your business’ activities. It is one of the most vital covers to consider when trying to buy your construction insurance and will provide protection from a range of accidents that you may encounter in your day-to-day role.
It offers protection from situations such as:
- Accidental damage to a client’s property whilst you’re working
- A client tripping over the cable of your power tool
- Damage to a client’s neighbour’s fence whilst you’re on a job
- Injury caused to a member of the public through tripping over your toolbox
There are a host of other covers to consider when taking out your construction insurance as well, and these will cover a variety of other situations you may face. For instance, employer’s liability insurance is an absolute necessity if you’re employing staff, tools and equipment cover can be a Godsend if someone steals your tools, and contractor’s all risks insurance covers all ongoing work on a constructions site. There’s also personal accident and sickness insurance, which can help you pay the bills if you’re unable to work for over 7 days.
