What is Tradesman Insurance?
Churchill Expert can arrange cover for a number of trades across the construction and building industry. If you're self-employed or run a business, employing staff and apprentices, we can arrange cover to suit your business needs. Our insurance covers you against a large number of risks you face when working with or for members of the public.
What's covered?
A Public Liability Insurance policy for tradesmen will help protect against costly claims if your work causes accidental injury to a member of the public or damage to a client's property.
Churchill Expert can arrange £1 million Public Liability cover (with options to increase to £10 million), included as standard with access to a 24/7 legal helpline and your own personal claims handler if you need to make a claim.
Public Liability Insurance is widely considered essential within the industry. Large companies and public sector organisations will look for a trusted tradesman with the right level of cover so Public Liability Insurance is key to protecting you against financial risks and ensuring you don't miss out on potential work.
