Insurance for Roofers and scaffolders

Roofers and scaffolders work at height on homes and commercial buildings, often using access equipment and handling heavy, weather exposed materials. Roofers Insurance helps protect your business if something goes wrong, from damage to a customer’s property to injury linked to your work or theft of essential tools and kit.

What is Roofers Insurance?

Roofers Insurance is a package of covers for people and firms carrying out roofing and related access work. Public liability usually sits at the centre, with options such as tools and equipment cover, contract works and employers liability. It is there to help with compensation claims, stolen kit and other financial losses after an insured event.

What affects your Roofers Insurance premium?
house-icon

Type of roofing work

Small repairs and low level work are usually rated differently to full re roofs, flat roofs or projects on commercial and industrial sites.

Height and access

Regular use of ladders, scaffolds or platforms, and the maximum working height, can all influence how insurers rate the risk.

chart-icon

Sites, materials and storage

Working near public areas, using high value materials and how you store tools and kit, such as in vans overnight or in a locked yard, can move premiums up or down.

Staff, turnover and claims

The number of people you employ, your annual turnover and any past claims all feed into how much you pay for cover.

Why Do You Need
Roofers Insurance?
Roofing and scaffolding take place at height, often above paths, cars and neighbouring properties. A slipped tile, dropped tool or failed fixing can cause damage or injury in seconds. Roofers Insurance can help with compensation if you damage property or someone is hurt, and with replacing stolen or damaged tools. If you have staff, employers liability is also key for meeting your legal duties and dealing with employee claims.
