Builders are in a risky business. However well prepared you are, mistakes do happen – and a single slip could be disastrous.

Whether you are a self-employed builder working on your own or you run a business employing people, it’s quick, quality cover, without the hassle.
Builders’ insurance at Simply Business starts with public liability insurance, which can pay if you’re blamed for injury to a member of the public or property damage. You can then choose additional covers to tailor your policy to your individual requirements.

If you have employees, contractors, casual workers or temporary staff, you’re usually required by law to take out employers’ liability insurance. It’ll cover claims from employees who’ve been injured or become seriously ill as a result of working for you.
Personal accident insurance is important for anyone who works in construction, covering both lost earnings and medical costs that result from a serious injury.
