Financial Loss

Why do you need plasterers cover?

Insurance for plasterers can offer essential protection from various risks and liabilities associated with your work. With the best of intentions, sometimes things go wrong and having suitable insurance can acts as a safeguard to your business assets, employees, and clients, with financial protection.

By investing in plasterers insurance, you can operate your businesses with confidence, knowing that you have the necessary protection in place if claims should occur. These examples highlight the importance of plasterers cover:

Protection from claims if a client suffers an injury.

Although low risk, accidents can happen and lead to claims from accidental injury to a client or damage to their property. This could be a client tripping over your equipment, or it could be spilling plastering material on a household item, such as a rug or carpet.

Either way, in the event of an accident like this, you are vulnerable to a substantial compensation claim, as well as other associated cost. Public liability insurance can cover you if you find yourself in this situation.

An employee or temporary worker suffers a workplace accident.

Plastering work brings several risks from materials and equipment and general hazards. As an employer, you are responsible for providing a safe workplace for and plasterers you hire.

If employees or temporary workers are involved on your projects, employers’ liability is a legal obligation with fines of £2500 per day for failing to comply.

Accidental damage caused to plant and tools you own or hire.

As a plasterer, you could be using your own plastering mixer on a large renovation project. Whilst mixing plaster, the machine is accidentally damaged preventing you working.

Without Plant and Tools insurance, you could have to pay for a replacement, delaying your work and impacting your earnings. With insurance in place, the costs of replacing your tools would be covered, allowing you to stay on schedule and avoid financial loss.

Our experts explain why...

“Plastering work brings distinct risks – from property damage concerns to equipment protection requirements. Our specialised trade insurance recognises these challenges and delivers comprehensive cover that extends well beyond basic liability. We protect against workplace injury claims, provide materials and equipment cover, and ensure your tools are safeguarded whether they’re owned or hired. This bespoke approach means plasterers can focus on delivering quality craftsmanship, confident that their business has the proper insurance foundation to manage the unforeseen.”
