Why Is Insurance For Cleaners Needed?
Whether you are a domestic cleaner, window cleaner, office cleaner or carpet cleaner, we’ve got you covered with a range of cleaners insurance policies.

Through The Insurance Octopus, you can create your own bespoke policy, mixing and matching the cover you require, and only paying for the protection you need.

What insurance should a cleaner have?
Public Liability Insurance For Cleaners
Wet floors, equipment lying around and damaged property may not be intentional, but can result in harm and injury. Standard levels of cover are £1, £2m, or £5m, with higher levels are available upon request.
Employers’ Liability Insurance
Covers any claims brought about by staff members who become ill, or get injured due to their employer’s negligence, including those who are part-time, subcontractors, or volunteers looking to learn the business.
Equipment Insurance
Protects your cleaning equipment should it be damaged or stolen, providing compensation for replacements in its place. We can also source cover for equipment you’ve hired for certain jobs.
Personal Accident Insurance
Don’t only protect your clients and staff, protect yourself too. Broken bones, and illnesses can be compensated for, as can loss of earnings too.

Cleaners Insurance FAQs
-
What are the benefits of treatment cover for cleaners?
As a cleaner, you likely use a range of chemicals in your work. Many of these chemicals have toxic properties which could, in theory, cause harm or illness to people who are exposed to them. If you feel there is a risk of this happening, and want to be covered in the event that someone sues you for compensation, then having treatment cover will save you from having to pay out compensation from your company’s finances.

Do cleaners need legal expenses insurance?
If there is any kind of incident where someone is injured or property is damaged while you are working, and you wish to contest liability for it, there will be extensive costs associated with the court case. If you don’t have legal expenses insurance, you will have to front the legal costs out of your own pocket, or that of your business, so if you feel there is a risk of legal fees being accrued at any point, you would be well-advised to take out legal expenses insurance.

If you run a cleaning services company, it is a legal requirement for you to have employer’s liability insurance. This will guarantee that you are able to meet the costs of compensation claims from your employees should they become injured or fall ill due to something related to their work.

How insurance for domestic & commercial cleaners works
Examples of Cleaners Insurance in action
Self-Employed and Sick
A lady who runs her own professional cleaning service depended on the income from her self-employed work. When she was diagnosed with bowel cancer, she was suddenly hit with the imposition of a lengthy lay-off while she underwent treatment. Without the income from her work, she would be unable to pay her bills whilst her cancer treatment was underway. Fortunately, she had taken out personal accident and sickness insurance. The sickness section of her policy provided her with a weekly benefit that saw her through her recovery, and she was able to stay afloat until she could return to work.
