Insurance for roofers
Roofing can be a dangerous job, both for roofers themselves and for customers or members of the public. If you build roofs using heat or without; with bitumen, tar or tiles, there is a type of insurance to suit your business needs.
If an employee is injured in the course of their work, for example if they fall from the roof, or get a serious burn from heat equipment, depending on the circumstances you could end up paying a claim for damages. If you have employees you are legally required to have Employers' Liability Insurance to protect you and your staff.
Another scenario that could possibly result in a claim is for example if, after you have finished a roofing job, some tiles or debris fall from the roof and injure a member of the public or damage property. To protect yourself against this type of claim you need to have Public Liability Insurance.
Self employed workers are often pushed for time, particularly when it comes to researching insurance quotes and speaking with brokers. You need a one-stop-shop insurance service that will be quick and efficient, available 24/7, and offer insurance cover that starts immediately.
