A painter and decorator was finishing a job in a house with a newly laid carpet. They accidentally dropped an open tin of gloss with obvious results. The customer claimed the cost of the carpet and the labour to re-fit a new one.
Public liability insurance covered legal expenses and the compensation awarded.
A structural engineer was tasked with calculating the amount of steel beams and lintels required for a commercial building. During construction it became apparent that the calculations were wrong and the steel would not hold the required load. The project had to be restarted, resulting in a heavy financial loss and large claims against the engineer.
Professional indemnity cover paid the claim and helped keep the engineer in business.
A scaffolding business had scaffolded a house without securing it properly. In strong winds the scaffolding collapsed onto the next door neighbour's house, destroying a large section of the roof.

Tools and equipment are vital for any building Contractor. Our tool cover insurance helps protect against theft, loss or accidental damage, keeping you working without disruption.
