Frequently asked questions
- What insurance do Worthing tradespeople need?
- Public liability is essential for all trades. If you employ anyone, employers' liability is a legal requirement. Tools cover, personal accident, and van insurance are also strongly recommended.
- How much public liability do Worthing trades need?
- £1 million is a common minimum, but many commercial clients and main contractors require £2m–£5m. We can advise based on the type of work you typically carry out.
- Does insurance cover tools stolen from my van in Worthing?
- Standard motor insurance rarely covers tools adequately. We arrange specific tools-in-transit and tools-in-vehicle cover, often with overnight security requirements.
- Do I need insurance for working in customers' homes?
- Absolutely. Public liability covers accidental damage to a customer's property while you're working. Without it, you'd be personally liable for repair costs.
- Can you arrange insurance quickly for a new job?
- Yes. For standard trades, we can often arrange cover within 24 hours so you can start work without delay.
