Commercial or residential properties. High-rise or low-rise buildings. Whoever your window cleaning clients are, safety is a critical factor. Working at height, moving ladders around near delicate tiles and glass surfaces – window cleaners’ insurance safeguards you against the cost of mistakes and accidents. You can’t always stop them occurring, but you can make sure you’re covered.
As a window cleaner, you know the risks associated with your job. As you're working with ladders and glass, public liability insurance is a good choice for most window cleaners. If you employ staff, you're legally required to have employers’ liability insurance too. We give you a range of options so you can pick and pay for only what you need.
