Frequently asked questions
- How much public liability insurance do electricians need?
- Brighton electricians typically carry £2 million as a baseline. £5 million is standard for commercial work and £10 million is usually required by local authority and main-contractor frameworks. We advise on the limit that matches the work you actually carry out.
- Do electricians need professional indemnity insurance?
- If you provide design, specification or testing certificates (EICRs, periodic inspections, EV charger sign-off), professional indemnity is strongly recommended. It responds to claims that an inspection or specification was negligent — public liability alone will not.
- How much does electricians insurance cost in Brighton?
- A sole-trader domestic electrician typically pays £350–£700 per year for public liability and tools cover. Larger commercial firms with PI, employees and vans usually sit in the £1,000–£3,000 range. See our Brighton business insurance cost guide for full price bands.
- Is tools cover included with electricians insurance?
- Tools and test equipment cover is usually a separate section that we add on. It is essential — overnight van theft is one of the most common claims for Brighton electricians. We arrange tools cover with sensible limits and clear conditions about overnight storage.
