Public Liability Insurance for Double Glazing Installers

Why Double Glazing Installers need liability insurance

You may believe the glazing trade is relatively low risk, however, one simple mistake may cause an accident, for example, a chisel could slip from your grasp, causing it to land and damage an expensive sports car that is parked below you. This is why public liability insurance is the first point of call for your business.

It protects you from the cost of any claims that you could be liable for as a fitter of double glazing, which could result in financial problems
for you and your company. Public liability insurance for double glazing installers is not compulsory but essential to ensure your business’ survival.

Common types of claims

• Your ladders fall and hit a child on the head
• Carrying a new window pane of glass through a house, you knock over and break an expensive statue
• A member of the public trips and injures themselves on your suction lifters that you left on the floor

This cover is optional but Ashburnham recommend that you certainly consider having it. Furthermore, if you have employees,
it is a legal requirement to hold Employers Liability
to provide compensation in the event of them being injured or causing damage.
