Business insurance
Insurance for Arborists
Given the risks, insurance sits at the centre of any tree business. Public liability cover for damage to property or injury to others is essential when you're dropping limbs near houses and powerlines, and the sums insured need to reflect the real exposure. Workers' compensation is required for any crew, and tool and plant cover protects your chippers, EWPs and climbing gear. Some clients, especially councils and builders, will demand proof of substantial liability cover before you start.
Trade policies in this space commonly renew around 30 June, so review your liability limits and plant values before the new financial year rather than rolling over last year's cover.
Common questions
Arborists — insurance questions
How much public liability do arborists need?
More than many trades, given the risk of dropping limbs near homes, cars and powerlines. Many council and commercial contracts specify high minimum cover, so check the requirements of the work you want to win.
Is my chipper and climbing gear insured?
Only if you hold plant and tool cover. Given how much your chipper, EWP and climbing kit are worth, insuring them against theft and damage protects your ability to keep working if something is lost.
