Frequently asked questions

While public liability insurance isn't a legal requirement, it is strongly recommended for contractors and tradespeople since the nature of the job brings you into contact with clients and members of the public. That's because, no matter how careful you are, accidents do happen – and if an accident causes injury or property damage to a client or member of the public, you could find yourself faced with potentially expensive legal and compensation costs. Without public liability insurance, these costs would need to be funded from your own pocket. Public safety and the positive reputation of contractors and tradespeople are an important part of NICEIC registration. If you are a registered contractor, you need a minimum of £2 million cover to meet registration obligations. This amount is included in our electrical contractors insurance cover with Covéa as standard. However, we recommend you check any contracts you undertake and seek specialist insurance advice if more cover is needed. There's no requirement to have public liability insurance in place from a legal perspective, but it's certainly an essential insurance to consider as a responsible contractor. Also, you could be left out of pocket if a claim is made against you and you don't have adequate cover. Yes. Simply follow the 'Get A Quote' link, fill out some information about you and your business, and we can generate an online quote tailored to your needs in a matter of minutes. Whether arranging insurance online or over the phone, you can be covered straight away, subject to a 10% deposit. The remaining payment can be set up within seven days. Just be sure to let us know you want the cover to start immediately, or specify a date that suits you if you don't want cover straight away. Direct insurers may only have a limited choice of policies or limited cover options. In contrast, a broker usually has access to a panel of insurers so has more choice and can find cover to suit your needs. Using a broker to arrange your insurance may also help reduce your workload and the time it takes you to search for your insurance. We aim to help you get value for money, so we use the strength of our market position to negotiate cover and price with insurers in advance. We do this to help deliver the right product at the right price for our customers. To present you with the options available to you, we compare insurance from a panel of UK insurers so we can recommend a product that suits your needs. They are very different policies. In essence, employers liability protects against death or injury to employees whilst at work. In contrast, public liability protects against death or injury and damage to property, affecting everyone apart from employees, and which comes about as a result of your work. The cost of public liability insurance depends on the nature of your business – its size, claims history, and the types of work you undertake. For that reason, there is no single average cost of public liability insurance, but rest assured that we are here to find you the right cover at the right price and offer competitive cover with limits ranging from £2 to £10 million for selected trades. How much you pay for public liability insurance cover depends on the nature of your contracting business – its size, claims history, the type of work you undertake and the level of risk that comes with it. That means there is no single average cost of public liability insurance. However, most contractors insurance from NICEIC Insurance includes public liability cover as standard, with limits of £2 million and £5 million, or £10 million for selected trades. The level of protection you take out depends on the type of risks you face. It's an individual decision based on the nature of each business – though it's worth finding out what level of cover potential clients expect you to have. There may be a minimum requirement of cover required depending on the nature of the job or your electrical contractor registration – for example, if it's a commercial contract for a council, they may require a higher level of cover than a domestic job. If you are an NICEIC registered contractor, you need a minimum of £2 million worth of public liability insurance is required in place to meet the obligations; therefore, we offer public liability cover ranging from £2 million up to £10 million, depending on the trade and insurer.
