What your flooring contractor insurance policy includes
Public Liability cover for flooring contractors
Public Liability insurance will help to cover your business if someone gets hurt or their property is damaged. Standard levels of cover are available from £1m, £2m, or £5m, with higher levels of cover available upon request and subject to terms and conditions of the insurer. Public Liability will protect you should there be a legal case for injury or damage.

Employers Liability insurance is a legal requirement if you employ anyone or pay sub-contractors to complete works on your behalf with your tools and equipment. Standard Employers Liability insurance policy is £10m cover.
Contract Works or Contractors All Risks cover
Contract Works or Contractors All Risks cover will insure your construction works plus materials should they be damaged or the materials stolen prior to completion. The policy will also cover the additional labour costs to rebuild the work previously completed along with cover for your own or hired plant.

How insurance for flooring contractors works
Examples of Flooring Contractor Insurance in action
Cutting Corners Costs £2,000
A flooring specialist was contracted to lay a new floor in a section of a warehouse. The specialist failed to follow the specifications accurately and installed a new floor which wasn’t fit for purpose. Consequently, the floor needed to be replaced again, and this delayed the delivery of a new machine to the warehouse. The client ended up having to pay extra for third-party storage and transportation for their new machine due to the delays. These additional costs amounted to £2,000, which was met by the flooring specialist financial loss insurance.
