Construction Insurance you can trust
Working in the construction industry can bring a business a variety of risks to manage; from manual handling and electrical hazards to more complex liability risks. As a result of this and due to the general nature of the industry, it is essential that all specific risks are identified and mitigated as much as possible.
Getting honest advice from an experienced adviser can help you create a robust insurance package to not only protect your business from any substantial losses inflicted by professional negligence claims, but also cover your tools and equipment, and any costs incurred from any physical accidents that occur on site.
Barnes Commercial has partnered with a panel of A rated insurers, allowing us to offer you a comprehensive range of insurance products. From general business insurances like Liability insurance and Directors and Officers cover, to more specialised covers including excess of loss, efficacy cover, tools and equipment cover and contractors all risk cover.
Our friendly construction specialist is an expert in this sector and carries a wealth of knowledge in the roofing, scaffolding, plumbing & heating, and the electrical contracting sector. This means that we can provide you with tailored advice to arrive at a suitable insurance programme that meets your specific requirements.
We will take the time to get to know you and your business, gathering information to enable us to conduct a full review of your current programme. Using our in-depth knowledge of the construction insurance industry, we can advise you if we think anything should be added, increased, or even removed from your existing insurance portfolio.
