Plumbers Insurance

Plumbers insurance including public liability, employers liability, tools cover, and contract works insurance. Arranged for plumbing contractors by FCA-regulated brokers.

What Does Plumbers Insurance Cover?

A plumbers insurance package typically includes public liability insurance (covering third-party injury and property damage, including accidental water damage), employers liability insurance (required by law if you employ staff), tools and equipment cover, and contract works insurance. Cover is subject to underwriting, insurer terms and acceptance.

Why Do Plumbers Need Specialist Insurance?

Plumbing work carries specific risks including accidental water damage, flooding, and damage to third-party property. Standard public liability policies may exclude or restrict cover for water-related incidents. A specialist plumbers policy is designed to address these risks.
