Tradesman Insurance FAQs

What insurance does a Welder need?

Most Welders start with public liability insurance. If you employ staff, you're legally required to hold employers’ liability insurance. Depending on your work, you may also need cover for tools, personal injury, professional indemnity or contract works.

Do I need professional indemnity insurance?

If your work includes advice, designs, or technical specifications, professional indemnity insurance protects you if a client claims financial loss due to a mistake in your work. It’s particularly useful for trades offering expert guidance.

How much public liability cover do I need?

Cover levels typically range from £1 million to £10 million. The right level depends on the type of work you do and any contractual obligations. We’ll help guide you to the right option during your quote.

Can I get cover if I’m self-employed?

Yes. Whether you're working solo or running a small team, we offer tailored cover for self-employed Welders. You can include tools, personal accident, and other extras as needed.

How much does Welders insurance cost?

Welders public liability insurance starts from £137.95 per year or £11.50 per month via Direct Debit (if your premium is over £200). Final costs depend on the work you do and the cover levels you choose.

What does a policy typically include?

Policies are flexible and can be tailored to your needs. You can choose from:

Do I legally need public liability insurance?

It’s not required by law, but it’s strongly recommended. Many clients or contractors require it before allowing you on-site, and it protects against claims made by the public or customers.

Do I need employers’ liability insurance?

Yes, if you employ anyone who’s not a direct family member. It’s a legal requirement with minimum cover of £5 million.

What is the difference between public and employers' liability insurance?

Public liability protects against injury or damage claims from third parties. Employers’ liability covers injuries or illness suffered by your staff as a result of their work.

Can I include personal injury insurance?

Yes, personal accident cover is available as an optional extra. You could receive compensation of up to £10,000 for injuries or £20,000 in the event of death, depending on the circumstances.

Can I combine multiple covers in one policy?

Absolutely. Just select the types of cover you need when completing your quote. We’ll bundle everything into one convenient policy.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes—we offer Direct Debit plans to help spread the cost across monthly instalments, available on policies over £200.
