It can cover you for most types of bricklaying work including

• New buildings or repairing old buildings

• In private and commercial properties

• Surveying or quoting

• Public contracts

• Working on site, including provision of ‘verification of insurance’ documents

• And even other types of work you might do such as, carpentry or building.

The truth is that in essence, they are the same, it’s just that a bricklayers policy packaged with the right variation of standard and optional covers mean it can be tailored specifically to your industry.
