What is window cleaners insurance?

Window cleaning insurance is designed to protect your business from incidents and accidents that could impact your business and livelihood. Working somewhere different daily presents challenges and risks that could leave your business exposed to financial loss. It’s therefore essential to have comprehensive cover in place to protect your livelihood and everyone involved.

Insurance covers to consider

When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:

Public liability insurance

Public liability cover as part of your window cleaners insurance can protect you from claims made against you by your clients and other members of the public for accidental injury, or accidental damage to their property. For instance, if you damaged a window during the course of your business, or a passer-by tripped over a ladder or hose, you may be liable to pay compensation. As careful as you may be, accidents do happen. Public liability insurance can protect your livelihood against large payouts for compensation in these instances.

Personal accident insurance

Personal accident cover can also be included in your window cleaner insurance, which is specifically designed to protect business owners and business partners if you had an accident at work. For instance, if you fell from a ladder and broke a limb, you may not be able to return to work for a while, Personal accident cover is designed to provide a weekly benefit if you injured yourself at work meaning you were unable to trade.

Tools & equipment cover

Tools and equipment cover can also be incorporated into your window cleaning insurance policy and can be protected against several perils. Should your equipment become damaged, this may impact your ability to trade for a while.
