What is bricklayers insurance?
Bricklayers insurance is a custom policy with a primary goal: to protect bricklayers from the risks associated with their trade. It will include various forms of cover, including public liability and tools insurance, to match the specific requirements of each bricklayer. This comprehensive coverage not only means professionals are compliant with regulations, but they’re also financially secure against unexpected accidents, damaged materials, and legal claims.
Bricklaying work typically involves significant physical and on-site risks. This makes bricklayer insurance essential. Get coverage today to protect your livelihood and to secure your projects.
Benefits of insurance for bricklayers
-
Financial protection from accidents: If accidental damage occurs to third-party property or injuries are caused on-site, bricklayers insurance covers the bill. This ensures financial stability in unforeseen situations.
-
Keep your tools covered: The loss or damage of vital tools can be problematic for bricklaying professionals. Insurance not only deals with replacement costs but also minimises downtime.
-
Comply with legal requirements: Does your business hire staff? Bricklaying insurance can include employers’ liability insurance, which meets legal UK obligations when hiring staff, and avoids fines and legal penalties.
-
Enhances professional credibility: Demonstrates to clients and contractors you are a responsible, insured professional. It instantly boosts trust and helps secure more projects.
Typical cover for bricklayers
Public liability insurance
For bricklayers, it covers compensation costs for third-party injuries or property damage resulting from your bricklaying activities. This could be due to falling bricks, for instance.
Professional indemnity insurance
Protects against claims of negligence, such as errors in design or construction advice, which cause financial losses for clients. Essential for bricklayers offering consultancy services.
Tools insurance
Have your tools been stolen? Are they damaged? Tools insurance covers their replacement or repair, meaning essential equipment is quickly restored to minimise work delays and financial losses.
Employers' liability insurance
This policy covers claims from employees injured or made ill due to work-related activities or conditions. Legally required by any business in the UK hiring staff.
Contract works insurance
Protects materials and works in progress against damage or loss.
How much is bricklaying insurance?
Business size. Coverage type. Risk levels. Factors like these all influence the cost of bricklaying insurance. As a result, the price paid is different for each company. For those requiring the most basic coverage, policies start from £100. Yet when you add the likes of employers’ liability and contract works insurance into the mix, the price can jump up significantly.
Customising your policy to only include the essentials keeps prices down, but this can be tricky to do on your own. This is where Radius can help.
