What Is Carpenter & Joiner Insurance?

Carpenter & Joiner insurance refers to a tailored set of business insurance covers designed to help protect professionals working in carpentry, joinery, and woodwork trades. It can help cover common risks such as injury claims, accidental damage, theft of tools, and disruptions to your ability to work.

Who May Need Carpenters and Joiners Insurance?

Carpenters and joiners regularly face practical risks on-site, in workshops, and while working in clients’ homes or commercial premises. Without the right insurance in place, situations like:

  • Accidental injury to clients or the public
  • Damage to property during installation or repair work
  • Theft of essential tools or equipment
  • Personal injury that could prevent you from working
  • Disruption to ongoing projects due to insured incidents

Could result in financial loss that may need to be covered personally. Carpenter & Joiner insurance can offer protection to help manage these risks.

What Can Carpenter & Joiner Insurance Cover?

1. Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance can offer protection if a customer, contractor, or member of the public suffers injury or property damage as a result of your work. This is widely considered essential for carpenters and joiners who work on-site or in client properties.

2. Employers’ Liability Insurance

Employers’ liability insurance can be legally required if you employ staff, subcontractors, apprentices, or labourers. It can provide protection if an employee claims compensation for injury or illness related to their work.

3. Tools and Equipment Insurance

Tools insurance can offer cover for essential carpentry and joinery tools, including hand tools, power tools, and specialist equipment, against theft, accidental damage, or loss. It can also include cover for tools stored in vehicles, subject to security measures.

Personal accident cover can provide financial support if you suffer an injury that prevents you from working. This cover is particularly relevant for self-employed carpenters who may not have access to sick pay.

5. Business Interruption Insurance

Business interruption insurance can offer support if you are unable to work temporarily due to insured events such as fire, flood, theft, or equipment breakdown.
