These core insurance covers should help you get started:

Public liability insurance – very important for plumbers, it will cover the cost of a claim if a customer or member of the public is injured or killed, or if their property is damaged because of your business.

Why is public liability important?

Employers’ liability insurance – if you have employees or hire contractors, casual workers or temporary staff, you are required by law to take out employers’ liability cover. It will pay the cost of a claim from an employee who has been injured at work, or who has become seriously ill as a result of working for you.
