INSURANCE FOR TRADIES & CONTRACTORS

Trades & Contractors Insurance: More Than Just Public Liability

Working in the trades and construction industry comes with risks that extend beyond the job itself. From accidental property damage and third-party injuries to stolen tools, damaged equipment and unexpected project interruptions, an uninsured loss can have significant financial consequences for your business.

Whether you're a self-employed electrician, plumber, carpenter, builder or subcontractor, the insurance you may need depends on the type of work you perform, where you operate, the equipment you use and the contractual obligations you have.

Public liability insurance is an important consideration for many tradespeople, but it may not address every exposure. Depending on your operations, you may also need to consider portable tools insurance, contract works, commercial motor, plant and equipment, or professional indemnity insurance.

At AMC Insurance Brokers, we help tradespeople and contractors assess their business activities, understand the cover options available and consider insurance arrangements suited to their individual risks.

 

From the tools you use to the projects you undertake, having the right insurance considerations in mind can help you manage the risks of running your business.

 

Your Liability

Considering your exposure to claims involving third-party personal injury, property damage and liability arising from your business activities.

Your Tools & Equipment

Exploring insurance options for the tools, machinery and equipment you rely on, including selected risks while working across different locations.

Projects & Operations

Considering the financial risks associated with contract works, vehicles, employees and interruptions to your business following insured events.
