Why do you need roofers insurance?

Flat roofs, pitched roofs, green roofs. Fixing a leak in the eaves or replacing the fascia. The quality of your roofing work speaks for itself – and so do your safety credentials. With roofers’ insurance, you’ll have confidence that you’ve taken steps to safeguard your business and your customers against the cost of things going wrong.

  • Protection against big claims due to accidental injuries or damage
  • Help to keep going when an unexpected event gets in the way
  • Reassurance for you, your employees and your equipment


What does roofing insurance cover?

It covers what you decide you need it to cover. Public liability insurance is an important consideration for roofers, and if you employ people, employers’ liability is a must. There are a range of other options available too – as the person who knows your business best, you’re in control of your policy.

Mohammed £5,400

Mohammed (name changed for privacy) was carrying out repairs on a flat roof.
