Insurance for Loft Insulation Contractors

Loft insulation insurance is for contractors installing, replacing, removing or upgrading insulation in lofts, attics and roof spaces. It can suit sole traders, insulation teams, energy-efficiency contractors and businesses working for homeowners, landlords, housing associations, builders or retrofit schemes.

The policy should reflect the materials used, whether old insulation is removed, how loft spaces are accessed, whether ventilation or electrical issues are checked, and whether the work is domestic, commercial or mixed.

  • Do you work in domestic, commercial or mixed premises?

  • Do you use ladders, access boards, dust extraction or electrical checks?
  • Do you use employees, subcontractors or retrofit scheme contracts?

Customer Homes and Ceiling Damage

Loft insulation often takes place in occupied properties where ceilings, hatches, stored possessions, lighting, cables and finished rooms are close to the work. Public liability should be reviewed carefully.

Materials, Tools and Retrofit Work

Tools, PPE, ladders, insulation stock and materials may be carried between sites. If you work under retrofit, landlord or housing contracts, contract terms and evidence requirements should be declared.
