CONSTRUCTION & TRADE INSURANCE

Construction & Trade Insurance

Everyday and high-risk construction cover where standard markets fall short.

Construction Cover for Every Trade

From a sole trader tiling bathrooms to a demolition contractor working at height, standard commercial policies rarely reflect how construction risk actually behaves on site. We place liability, tools and Contract Works cover with insurers who price each trade on its real risk, not a generic construction rate.

  • Public and Employers' Liability up to £10m
  • Tools, plant and equipment cover away from site
  • Contract Works cover for materials and works in progress
  • Higher-limit cover for work at height
  • Access to insurers for demolition and groundworks
  • Support with collateral warranties and JCT contracts

One broker. Every trade on site.

Construction is high risk, and insurers price each trade very differently. We are independent, meaning we access a wide panel of insurers and the Lloyd's market to present your work properly. This becomes especially valuable for higher-risk trades, larger contracts and businesses with complex insurance requirements.

Independent

Not tied to any insurer, allowing us to search the market for suitable solutions.

Right Limits

We arrange the liability limits your contracts and principal contractors require.

Site Ready

Cover built to meet JCT requirements and contract obligations.
