Scaffolding Insurance

It's important to have adequate protection in place when working at heights in case an accident happens.

Due to the nature of scaffolding work, premiums can be high for your liability insurance. However, due to our knowledge of the industry, we have access to several specialist schemes that provide great value.

Our scaffolding insurance policies are designed to provide cover for public and employers liability insurance, as well as further options to include protection for hired in plant, own plant and tools equipment.

Public Liability Insurance

Public liability covers your legal liability should an accident occur which causes damage or personal injury to a third party or their property. For example, a scaffolding pole could fall onto a building which you are working on. As a result, your client may make a claim for compensation for any damage caused which would be covered under your insurance policy.

B&M Insurance can obtain public liability indemnity limits from £1 million up to £10 million. This provides you and your clients complete peace of mind when performing your job.

Employers Liability Insurance

If you have employees, it is a legal requirement to have employers liability for up to £10 million. Employees that you will have to insure are direct clerical employees, direct manual employees and labour only subcontractors.

This type of cover will protect your business financially if an employee suffers illness or injury when working for you and they decide to take legal action. Fortunately, we can provide adequate cover for employers liability regardless of the size of your company.
