Carpenters Insurance

Carpentry sits in the middle of a build, which is where a lot of claims start — your finished work damaged by the trades that follow, or your work blamed for a problem that surfaces later. We place cover that protects your work and your liability on a shared site, not just your tools.

Cover

What carpenters need covered

Public liability

For injury or damage to third parties and their property on site, at the limit the builder or principal requires before you start.

Tools of trade

Your saws, nailers and gear against theft and damage, on site, in the van and in transit — the kit that's easiest to lose off a busy site.

Damage to your finished work

Fit-outs and finishes damaged by other trades after you've left, or your work blamed for a later fault, are the carpenter's recurring claim. We keep that exposure on the policy rather than assumed.

Cover, limits and examples shown are general in nature and subject to eligibility, underwriting and the terms of the issued policy.

What insurance do carpenters and joiners need?
Public liability is the essential, at the limit your contracts name, plus tools of trade for your gear. On shared sites, cover for damage to your finished work matters too. We match it to the jobs you do.
What if another trade damages work I've finished?
That's a common dispute on a build, and whose policy pays isn't always clear. We place cover that responds to damage to your completed work, and help sort the claim rather than leaving you to argue it on site.
Do I need public liability as a subcontractor?
Yes — the builder above you almost always requires it before you're allowed on site, and their policy protects them, not you. Cover in your own name is what lets you take the work.
