FAQs

Common questions

Do I need employers’ liability if I use sub-contractors?

Often, yes. Labour-only sub-contractors may be treated as your employees for insurance purposes. We’ll help you work out what applies to you.

Can you cover tools left in my van overnight?

Some insurers will, often with security conditions. We’ll explain the conditions clearly so there are no surprises at claim time.
