Tiler Insurance

Working indoors, outdoors and in public means that injuries and interruptions are all too common. For example, loose tiles can easily fall, injuring people or damaging property, while employees could fall or be injured.

To protect against these risks and others, a tiler’s insurance package can include public liability, tool cover, contract works and legal expenses cover. Employers’ liability cover is legally required if you have employees.

A customised public liability cover and tiler insurance package can cover:

• The cost of repairing or replacing tools and equipment if damaged or stolen.
• Cover for assets like plant and tiling materials.
• Claims made by a third party due to injury or damaged property.
• Compensation claims made by employees or contractors if they are injured.
• Costly repairs to worksites if damaged by vandalism or natural disasters.
• If you work with others, you may need employers’ liability insurance by law.

As well as safety, tilers’ insurance can help to keep your business running. Tool insurance helps to keep you working while contract works coverhttps://www.aondigital.com/en-gb/insurance/contract-works/ can compensate you for business interruptions, and legal expenses cover will protect against contractual problems.

It’s important to read your policy documents for the details of what you are and what you are not covered for. You’ll be required to have the right security measures in place to be covered for theft, and gradual wear and tear is usually not covered.

How much you pay for your tilers’ insurance package will vary depending on factors such as the number of covers you choose and how much cover you want to buy.

Whether or not you’ve claimed before can also affect premium costs. But if you're able to pay a greater excess – the amount you pay towards any claim – it can lower your monthly outlay. Geographical location and your business size are also factors.
