Professional indemnity insurance is important for pipe fitters who provide advice, plans, or professional services. It protects you if a client suffers financial loss due to a mistake in your work. Cover can be taken on its own or added to a wider policy. We offer limits from £250,000 up to £5 million.
This is usually the core of a pipe fitter insurance policy. Public liability insurance protects you if someone is injured or property is damaged due to your work. We offer between £1 million and £10 million in cover to meet a wide range of client and contract requirements.
If you employ staff, even part-time or temporary workers, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement. It covers claims from employees who become ill or are injured through their work with you. This is especially important for high-risk trades like construction, engineering, or industrial work.
