Insurance for Conservatory Erectors

Conservatory erectors insurance is for contractors installing, erecting, repairing or replacing conservatories, glazed extensions, roof lanterns, glazed roofs, frames, doors, panels and related structures.

The cover conversation should reflect whether the work is domestic or commercial, whether you supply products as well as install them, the height and access methods involved, and whether you carry out structural alterations, groundwork, electrics, plumbing or only frame and glazing installation.

Insurer Questions

  • Do you install, repair, replace or only supply conservatory components?
  • Do you work on domestic homes, commercial premises or larger building sites?
  • What access equipment, ladders, towers or plant do you use?
  • Do you carry out structural, groundwork, electrical or plumbing work?
  • What are the maximum contract works, tools, plant and material values?

Glass, Frames and Roof Systems

Conservatory projects can involve fragile glazing, bulky frames, roof panels, fixings, doors and weather seals. Product liability and goods in transit may need review where materials are supplied as well as installed.

Contract Works and Customer Property

Partly completed conservatories can be exposed to weather, theft and accidental damage. Contract works and public liability cover should be checked against site values, customer-property risk and subcontractor involvement.
