Start your quotePublic liability insurance is often a very important cover for painters and decorators, as it can protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged because of your business. Simply Business offers between £1 million and £5 million in cover, to protect you against this cost.
If you have employees, contractors, casual workers or temporary staff, you’re 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 will cover you against serious injury, or even death - paying out for lost income, medical costs and the like. Working as a painter and decorator comes with certain risks and this cover should be considered if you would struggle to make ends meet if left unable to work following an accident.
Other covers available to painters and decorators include tool insurance, plant and machinery insurance and business equipment insurance.
