Insurer Questions

  • Do you install, repair, restore or manufacture leaded lights?
  • Do you work on listed, heritage or ecclesiastical buildings?
  • What height work, ladders, towers or access equipment are used?
  • What tools, glass, lead and materials values need cover?
  • Do you use employees, subcontractors or workshop machinery?

Fragile Glass and Customer Property

Leaded windows can be fragile, bespoke and difficult to replace quickly. Cover should reflect glass values, transit, storage, installation conditions and the risk of damage to surrounding frames or interiors.

Heritage, Height and Contract Works

Heritage work and higher-level installation can change the risk profile. Insurers may ask about access equipment, listed buildings, contract values, method statements and responsibility for partly completed works.
