Being a tradesman or woman it is vital to have the relevant public liability in place before carrying out any works as any third party damage you incur whether to a member of the public or property damage will leave you liable – it goes without saying that it should be your first port of call when setting up your own business or going self-employed.
Unfortunately, starting out as a roofing contractor, obtaining quotations for public liability isn’t as easy as other trades, due to the work at height and exposure to potential losses.
Roofers are considered a High Risk trade, which rings alarm bells for many insurers, so when obtaining quotations you will want to approach a provider that can actually assist with your needs and requirements.
Many of the providers that promote via comparison sites or radio/television adverts are unlikely to be able to assist due to no specialty in the field of high risk liability.

So whether your roofing work involves the application of heat, heights over 30m, large turnover, small turnover, established firm or one man band we can accommodate Roofing risks of all shapes and sizes.
