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.
Cover can generally be structured around the mix of residential and commercial glazing work you do. Let us know the range of jobs you take on and we can help you look at options that fit.
Tools, equipment and plant cover can include theft and accidental damage, and in some cases stock in transit can be considered as part of your cover. Conditions may apply, so it’s worth checking policy wording.
Subcontracted work can generally be considered when structuring your cover. Let us know the head contractor’s or site operator’s insurance requirements and we can help you explore options that meet them.
Public and products liability can respond to claims for property damage arising from your work, including issues that become apparent after the job is complete, subject to policy terms and conditions.
Supplying and installing glass creates additional contractual and liability considerations, including products liability. We can help you look at cover that reflects this.
It may be relevant where you’re responsible for work in progress, such as a shopfront or window installation partway through. Contract works can help protect eligible glazing work against insured events such as theft, fire and storm, subject to policy terms.
