What Does Office Cleaning Insurance Cover?

Public Liability Insurance

Public Liability Insurance can help protect your company if a third party suffers injury or property damage as a result of your work. Examples include wet floor slip claims, damage to office furniture, accidental damage to computer equipment, spillages causing carpet damage and incidents during out-of-hours cleaning.

Employers Liability Insurance

If your business employs staff, Employers Liability Insurance is usually a legal requirement in the UK. It can help protect your business if an employee suffers illness or injury during their work.

Tools & Equipment Insurance

Office cleaning businesses often rely on commercial vacuum cleaners, floor polishers, steam cleaners, cleaning chemicals, portable equipment and battery-powered cleaning systems. Equipment cover can help with theft, loss or accidental damage.

Commercial Vehicle Insurance

If your business operates vans or company vehicles, commercial vehicle insurance may also be required for cleaning teams travelling between premises.
