Domestic and Small Commercial Risk Areas

Work in occupied homes and small commercial premises can involve finished surfaces, customer belongings, access constraints, live services, ventilation performance, heat output, condensate issues, fire concerns, electrical coordination and customer disruption. Insurers usually prefer the trade description to match the real work, including any gas, electrical, air conditioning, heat pump or larger commercial activity.
