Tradesman Saver’s Public Liability Cover For Tailors


Our standard cover is:

  • £2 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)

There are many insurance options which would benefit your tailors 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 a loose carpet in your shop and is injured or a customer’s cashmere overcoat is torn on a sharp edging strip on a display unit.

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 tailors 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 tailor and you can get your quote online in minutes.

Why do I need tailor’s insurance?

Many tailors don’t realise the need for insurance until it is too late.  You think that the work you do is without many risks but you never know!  Check out this real-life claims example:

Ripped Off!

You’re taking up the trousers of a client’s designer suit, but as you’re finishing up stitching the hem on the sewing machine, the material snags and rips, damaging the trousers irreparably. You inform the client and they choose to seek compensation from you for the damage. Your public liability insurance is your saving grace here – it’ll pay to replace the suit, so you can get back to what you do best in no time at all.
