Our comprehensive plumbing electrical insurance package includes:
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance is essential for electricians who work on projects involving electrical and plumbing components. 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. For example:
- Accidental damage to a client’s drainage system while working on nearby electrics
- Injuries caused by a faulty boiler installation involving electrical and plumbing work
- Water damage resulting from electrical work affecting plumbing systems
Employers’ Liability Insurance
According to UK law, you must have employers’ liability insurance if you employ staff. This includes on a casual or temporary basis. This cover protects your business if an employee becomes ill or injured due to their work. For electricians involved in plumbing-related projects, this could include:
- Injuries from working with electrical and plumbing tools
