Additional information on plumbers insurance

Why might I need business insurance as a plumber? 

As a plumber, there are various risks on the job. Business insurance can help protect you from financial losses in the event something unexpected happens, such as accidental damage or injuries to you or your client. Cover can also help minimise downtime by covering the cost of replacement tools and equipment if they are stolen or damaged.  

Build a comprehensive insurance policy

Every plumbing business is different, and the right insurance cover can vary depending on the size of your business, the type of work you do, and whether you employ staff. With plumbers insurance cover options, you can tailor a plan that meets your specific needs.

Coverage for tools and equipment

Your tools are essential for getting the job done right. Plumbers' insurance can cover theft, loss, and damage to the valuable equipment you rely on. If your gear is stolen from a worksite or damaged in transit, your insurance helps with repair or replacement costs, so you're never out of pocket and can keep your projects moving
