Insurance for Insulation Engineers

Insulation engineering insurance is for contractors and engineers installing, replacing, repairing, specifying or maintaining insulation systems. It can suit businesses working on building fabric insulation, cavity wall insulation, thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, fire-resistant insulation, pipe insulation, duct insulation, plant rooms, commercial premises and construction sites.

The policy should reflect the actual work undertaken, including materials used, premises worked in, height work, access equipment, survey or advice responsibility, fire-performance exposure and whether projects are domestic, commercial, industrial or mixed.

Insurer Questions

  • What types of insulation do you install, repair or specify?
  • Do you work in domestic, commercial, industrial or construction-site environments?
  • Are fire-performance, acoustic or thermal performance requirements part of the contract?
  • Do you carry out surveys, design, advice, inspection or certification?
  • What tools, materials, access equipment, plant and contract values need cover?

Performance and Specification

Where clients rely on insulation surveys, material selection, performance advice or installation specifications, professional indemnity may need to be considered alongside liability cover.

Tools, Materials and Site Work

Specialist insulation work often depends on cutting tools, adhesives, tapes, sealants, cladding, access equipment, insulation sections and materials stored in vans, depots or active sites.
