Glazier Insurance

As a glazier, you  work with glass, windows and specialist materials every day. You might be replacing a broken pane in a customer's home, fitting double glazing on a renovation project or installing windows on a commercial site.

Our glazier insurance brings together different types of cover that can help protect your business against unforeseen costs if an insured event results in a claim.

Public liability insurance

Public liability insurance can protect your business if a customer or member of the public claims they suffered an injury or property damage because of your work.

For glaziers, this could include situations like:

• A customer being injured while work is underway

• Glass or equipment damaging nearby property

• An accident happening while carrying out glazing work at a customer's premises

• Claims linked to your business activities on-site

We offer public liability insurance for glazing contractors with cover up to £5 million across our packages.

Employers’ liability insurance

If you employ staff, employers' liability insurance may be required by law in certain circumstances.

This cover is separate from public liability insurance and protects your business if an employee suffers a work-related injury or illness and your business is found legally liable.

We offer employers' liability insurance up to £10 million across our glazier insurance packages.

Professional indemnity insurance

Some glaziers provide advice, specifications or recommendations as part of their work.

Professional indemnity insurance can provide protection if a customer alleges those professional services caused them financial loss.

We include professional indemnity insurance within our Classic and Plus policies, with cover available up to £100,000.

Some businesses searching for double glazing indemnity insurance may be looking for this type of cover.

Tools cover

Glaziers rely on specialist tools and equipment every day, from glass handling equipment and measuring tools to drills and installation equipment.

Our tools cover can protect insured tools and equipment up to £15,000, subject to the policy terms and conditions.

Cover can apply to handheld powered and non-powered portable tools, as well as laptops and tablets used for your business. Tool theft can happen at any time, so your equipment is protected 24/7 within the UK if stolen from a locked vehicle or building.

Temporary total disablement benefit

Available with our Plus policy, temporary total disablement benefit can provide up to £600 per week if an insured person is unable to work due to a covered injury.
