Surveyors’ insurance tailored to your business

Regardless of whether you are a quantity surveyor or an environmental impact surveyor, your work has an impact on other people and on businesses. This means that having the right insurance cover for your trade is very important.

We offer clear information about the covers relevant to surveyors and a simple quote and buy process, ensuring that you go away with an insurance policy you can count on.

Building your surveyor business insurance policy

With Simply Business, you can build a policy tailored to your individual needs. If you’re not sure which covers you should have, these will get you started:

Professional indemnity insurance – covers compensation claims from clients who have suffered loss due to mistakes or negligence with your surveyor work. Professional indemnity insurance also covers you if your work has failed to perform its intended function. Some insurers even cover associated legal expenses.

Public liability insurance – covers you if you cause injury to a person or damage to their property during the course of, or as a result of, your work as a surveyor. The minimum level of cover is £2 million, but we offer up to £10 million for larger businesses and those working on public contracts.

Additional covers for surveyors can be seen in the covers box to the right.
