Important: The information provided on this page is general in nature and does not take into account your individual circumstances. Insurance cover, terms, conditions and exclusions vary between insurers and policies. Your insurance requirements will depend on your business activities, contracts, assets and individual circumstances. Please refer to the relevant policy wording and documentation for full details of cover. The risks listed above are general examples only, for illustrative purposes, and do not confirm that your individual policy will respond to any particular claim.
Sol Insurance Brokers is owned and directed by people who run a trade business themselves, working with clients across mining, power generation and heavy industry.
We understand the real-world site requirements, contractor expectations and compliance demands that come with that world — because we live it on the business side every day.
So we know what you actually need.
This is worth checking carefully. Standard public liability policies don’t always automatically extend to property in your care, custody and control — which is exactly the situation with a customer’s vehicle or machine in your workshop. Cover may be available for eligible property in your care, custody or control, subject to policy terms and exclusions, and we’ll make sure this gap is specifically addressed rather than assumed.
Tell us your split between fixed workshop and mobile or roadside work, and we’ll discuss how cover (including commercial motor for the service vehicle itself) can be structured to match.
Tools, equipment and plant cover can extend beyond the workshop to your vehicle and job sites, subject to policy terms. We’ll confirm the exact conditions based on how and where you use your equipment.
Liability for parts or repairs that fail after the job is a known exposure in mechanical work. How a policy responds depends on its terms, conditions and exclusions, so we’ll make sure this scenario is specifically considered when arranging your cover.
Commercial motor options can include service vehicles, utes, vans, trucks and mobile service vehicles, including fitted-out trade bodies and permanently attached equipment where appropriate.
A tailored package can address workshop premises, contents, stock and business assets, with options that may include property damage, theft, glass, money, business interruption and machinery breakdown, depending on your business.
