Whether you’re a sole trader doing garden makeovers or running a crew on large-scale landscape construction, Sol Insurance Brokers can help you explore cover options that reflect the risk you actually carry.

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.
Professional indemnity may be relevant if you’re providing design or specification advice as part of your work, since it responds to a different kind of claim, one based on advice rather than physical damage. We can talk through whether it makes sense for your work mix.
Tools, equipment and plant cover can include theft and accidental damage, often including tools kept in a locked vehicle. Conditions such as security requirements 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 damage that becomes apparent after the job is complete, subject to policy terms and conditions.
It can. Supplying and installing materials or components may add product-related exposures alongside your standard liability cover, so it’s worth reviewing your policy to reflect this.
It may be relevant where you’re responsible for installations in progress. Cover can help protect against events like theft, fire, storm and accidental damage while the work is underway, subject to policy terms.
