Our standard cover is:
There are many insurance options which would benefit your shop fitters 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 shopfront with some shelving you are carrying into the store.
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 shop fitters 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 shop fitter and you can get your quote online in minutes.

When it comes to getting insurance, it can feel a little like you’re wading through treacle. There’s insurance terms floating around everywhere and all you really want to know is exactly what you need to suit your business, and the kinds of situations it will cover. To give you a clearer idea of some of the things different covers will cover you for, take a look below, where you’ll find some claims examples that relate to your specific business:
You’re working on a job, fitting out a newsagent shop, with your employee. Your employee is up on a ladder installing some shelving, but unfortunately the ladder you’ve taken with you is unstable and your employee falls off, badly injuring themselves. They decide to seek compensation against you for their injury. This is where your employer’s liability insurance comes in handy – it’ll cover the costs of the compensation for you, so you can get back to work as quick as flash.
You’re working on a job fitting out a clothing store. You’re using a drill to drill some holes for the shelving to attach to the wall, but as you’ve laid the drill to rest while you attach the shelves to the wall, your client fails to see the cable and trips over, sustaining a significant injury. They choose to make a compensation claim against you for their injury. Your public liability insurance comes in handy here – through it, your insurer will cover the costs of the claim, so you can continue doing what you do best.
