Arborist Insurance Explained
Arborist Insurance Quick Answer
Arborist insurance commonly includes public liability, employers' liability, professional indemnity, equipment insurance, commercial vehicle insurance and, where relevant, forestry contractor cover.
Key Cover Sections
The right structure depends on whether the arborist mainly carries out physical tree work, consultancy, surveys, commercial contracts or a blend of all three.
- Public liability insurance for injury and property damage claims
- Employers' liability insurance for staff, climbers and labour-only workers
- Professional indemnity insurance for advice, reports and surveys
- Equipment insurance for chainsaws, climbing kit, rigging and survey tools
- Commercial vehicle insurance for vans, pickups, tippers and trailers
- Forestry contractor cover where woodland or felling work is undertaken
Professional Indemnity Insurance for Arborists
Professional indemnity insurance can be important for arborists providing tree surveys, consultancy, safety reports, risk assessments, subsidence reports or mortgage reports. It helps protect against claims arising from alleged errors, omissions or negligent advice.
- Tree condition surveys and written recommendations
- BS5837 or planning-related arboricultural reports
- Tree risk assessments for estates, schools or local authorities
- Subsidence, mortgage or safety reports relied on by clients
What Is the Difference Between a Tree Surgeon and an Arborist?
A tree surgeon primarily carries out physical tree work such as pruning, dismantling and felling. An arborist may also provide consultancy services, tree health assessments and professional advice relating to tree management and safety.
- Tree surgeon insurance is usually more focused on contracting, climbing, tools and plant.
- Arborist insurance may also need professional indemnity where advice or reports are provided.
- Many businesses do both, so the policy should describe all activities accurately.
