Professional Indemnity for Timber Surveys and Advice

Professional indemnity can help where a client alleges your timber treatment advice, survey or recommendation caused financial loss. Insurers will usually want to understand your services, property types, survey methods, report wording, treatment recommendations, contract terms, qualifications, quality controls and previous claims history.

Property Inspections, Reports and Client Data

Timber treatment consultants may work in homes, commercial buildings, heritage properties, basements, roof spaces and development sites. Public liability, equipment cover and cyber insurance can sit alongside professional indemnity where consultancy work depends on site attendance, accurate records and secure client information.
