Tradesman Saver’s Public Liability Cover For Door Fitters


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)

While being a door fitter carries a lot less risk than other tradesman jobs, there are still some hazards to be wary of. For example, someone could trip over your tool box and be badly injured, or you could accidentally damage a customer’s property while installing a door. In these incidences, you could be sued and forced to fork out huge compensation costs, which could have serious repercussions for your bottom line.

Why public liability insurance is critical

Luckily, public liability insurance will protect you in situations like the ones above, ensuring your insurer picks up the tab if you injure a customer or member of the public, or damage their property. You can choose the level of cover that suits your needs as part of Tradesman Saver’s automatic package, which also covers you for financial loss, legal expenses, products liability and more.

Why you need other covers too

The risk of harming others or their property isn’t the only thing you require insurance for; you and your employees need cover too. For instance, you could drop a door prior to fitting it and injure yourself, or strain a muscle carrying it into a customer’s house. Personal accident insurance pays out to protect your business if you can’t work because of injury, and covers employees too. You will also need employer’s liability if have any employees, as this means you are covered if a member of staff makes a claim against your business over any harm suffered on the job. Another useful cover is tool insurance to rapidly replace any stolen, damaged or lost tools.

It Shouldn’t Happen To A Door Fitter

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how careful you are in your line of work; there are always unforeseen circumstances you just can’t account for. Fortunately, if you have the right cover in place, it can help to minimise some of the impact. Here’s some examples of how our Tradesman Saver insurance could help you in a pinch:

 

Tool Theft

You’re working on a job on a construction site, and you leave your tools on site briefly while you go to grab a coffee. When you return to the site, you discover someone has stolen your tools. Fortunately, with your tools & equipment insurance, you don’t need to worry about how you’re going to make your next job – your insurer will pay for the costs of replacing your tools, to get you back up and working in a jiffy.

Flooring Damage

You’re fitting a door in a customer’s property, but whilst you’re attaching it to the frame, you inadvertently damage your customer’s antique flooring. They choose to seek compensation from you. Don’t fret though – your public liability insurance has you covered. It’ll cover the costs of the compensation for you, so you can continue your good work as quickly as possible.
