FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+-

-
What is a builders’ combined / package insurance policy?
It’s a single policy designed for builders and small construction firms
that combines public liability, employers’ liability, contract works,
tools, plant and other key covers into one package, often with one premium
and renewal date.
+
-
Is a builders’ package policy cheaper than separate covers?
In many cases, yes. Insurers like the simplicity of a package policy and may
offer more competitive terms than if each section was arranged separately.
It can also reduce admin and the risk of gaps between policies.
+
-
Can I still tailor the cover to my building business?
Yes. Sections and limits can be adjusted to reflect your work, whether you
focus on domestic refurbishments, small developments or light commercial
projects. Optional extras can be added where needed.
+
-
What information do insurers need to quote a package policy?
Typically: details of your trade and activities, annual turnover, wage roll,
split between residential/commercial work, typical contract values, use of
subcontractors, height/depth exposures and your recent claims history.
+
-
Can I move my existing separate policies into one package?
Yes. At renewal (or mid-term in some cases) we can look at consolidating
your liability, contract works, tools, plant and other covers into a single
builders’ combined policy, making sure there are no gaps in the process.
