Tradesman Insurance Claim Examples

  • Public liability

    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.

  • Professional indemnity

    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.

  • Public liability

    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.

    Public liability insurance covered the claim made against the business.

  • Public liability

    A kitchen fitter was fitting cupboards and accidentally knelt on a client's new electric hob, causing it to crack.

    Public liability insurance covered the claim for a replacement hob and fitting costs.

  • Public liability

    A commercial carpet cleaning company was cleaning an office carpet when the heat was too high, which shrunk and discoloured the carpet.

    Tradesman insurance covered the compensation claim for a new carpet and fitting costs.

Do electricians need professional indemnity insurance?

Professional indemnity insurance helps safeguard your business if a client suffers financial loss from your advice or design work. It's particularly useful for electricians who provide guidance or plans as part of their service. You can choose a limit of indemnity from £50,000 up to £5 million, either standalone or combined with other policies.

Do I need employers’ liability insurance?

If your electrician business hires anyone, even part-time or temporary staff, you’re legally required to have employers’ liability insurance. It protects you against claims from employees who are injured or become ill due to their work, which is especially important in trades involving physical tasks or higher risk environments.
