Cover
Everything the job throws at you.
From a claim on site to a stolen kit bag, we match you to UK insurers who write the cover the trade actually needs.
Public liability
The backbone of trade cover. Protects you if your work accidentally injures someone or damages their property, on site or at a customer's home.
- £1m, £2m or £5m limits of indemnity
- Injury or damage to members of the public
- Damage to a client's property on site
- Cover that follows you job to job
Employers' liability
Legally required the moment you take on staff, labourers or subbies. Covers claims if someone working for you is injured or falls ill.
- Cover up to £10m as standard
- Required by law if you employ staff
- Includes labour-only subcontractors
- Protects against staff injury claims
Tools & equipment
Your kit is your livelihood. Replace stolen or damaged tools fast, whether they were in the van, on site or in transit between jobs.
- Theft and accidental damage
- Covered in the van or on site
- Tools in transit between jobs
- Set replacement limit per claim
Optional extras
Build the policy out to fit the work. Add the covers that matter to your trade and leave the ones that don't.
- Professional indemnity for advice & design
- Contract works for jobs in progress
- Personal accident for time off the tools
- Legal expenses to recover costs

Reviews
Trades don't sugarcoat it.
"Filled the form out on my lunch break and had my public liability documents in my inbox before I'd finished my brew. No back and forth, no being asked the same thing three times."
"Needed employers' liability sorted before I could take my apprentice on. Picked up first ring, friendly bloke, walked me through the cover and had it priced in minutes. You don't get that everywhere."
"Wanted my tools covered as well as the liability side. They matched me to an insurer that did both on one policy, came in cheaper than my renewal. Proper humans on the other end of the line."
