Liability insurance for the public, your staff and any products you sell are vital protection for your business. Our bricklayers insurance can provide flexible limits of liability so as you grow, take on staff, or new trades, we can raise or lower the limits.
With a flexible tools’ cover limit set by you, we can cover all types of equipment. We can also include employee’s tools, specialist equipment and hired equipment too. Tools must be locked securely outside business hours, and a single item limit may apply.
Many insurers have trouble providing some of the more specialist types of cover such as JCT, non-negligence insurance and ‘contractors all risks’ (CAR) cover for your own plant, hired-in plant, and contract works cover, but our brokers can source policies which include many of these features combined as you need. We can even provide trade specific cover such as professional indemnity for PAT testing and conditioning reports (EICRs) depending on the nature of the work you do.
Do you need documents quickly to tender for a public contract or to get you site? We can provide verification of insurance via email, often within the same day. Speed up the process even more by getting a quote and buying your bricklayers insurance online, or for a more detailed requirement review, call us today to discuss your needs.
If and when it comes to the crunch and you need to make a claim, we'll send the details of your claim to the insurer to get your claim resolved as quickly as possible.
If there are any complications with your claim, we’ll follow this up with the insurer and keep you updated with the progress of your claim.
Call us or email us with; your policy number, a phone number to reach you on, details of your claim and photos where possible and relevant.

Bricklayers can risk legal action in respect of their liability for personal injury or property damage arising from their activities.

If you have any concerns about whether this may affect your business or have any questions around the rating of an insurer speak with one of our advisers.
