Frequently asked questions
- How much public liability insurance do cleaners need?
- Most domestic cleaners in Brighton carry £1–£2 million public liability. Commercial and office cleaning contracts typically request £5 million, and key-holding or larger commercial work often £10 million. We match the limit to your typical contract requirements.
- Does cleaners insurance cover damage to a client's property?
- Public liability covers accidental damage to third-party property — for example, knocking over a vase or staining a carpet during work. It usually does not cover damage to the surface you are actively cleaning, which is treatment risk and needs to be specifically arranged.
- Do I need key cover as a cleaner?
- If you hold client or commercial keys, key cover is strongly recommended. It pays for replacement locks and rekeying when a key is lost or stolen — a common, expensive claim that public liability alone may not respond to.
- How much does cleaners insurance cost in Brighton?
- A self-employed cleaner with no staff typically pays £80–£200 per year for public liability. Small commercial cleaning firms with employees and treatment-risk extensions usually sit in the £400–£1,500 range. See our Brighton business insurance cost guide for full price bands.
