Business insurance
Insurance for Asphalt and Bitumen Contractors
Asphalt and bitumen work brings real on-site risk: hot materials, heavy plant, public roads and car parks in use, and the chance of damage to underground services or adjacent property. You need solid public liability, plant and equipment cover for pavers, rollers and tippers, commercial vehicle cover, and workers' compensation for crews working around hot mix and moving machinery.
With premiums often near $1,200 and many policies renewing around 30 June, it is worth reviewing your cover before the busy season ramps up. Cockatoo helps you get organised ahead of renewal and matches you to a broker who understands civil and surfacing work, so your limits reflect the heavy plant and public exposure you carry.
Common questions
Asphalt and Bitumen Contractors — insurance questions
What cover does an asphalt contractor need?
Typically public liability, plant and equipment cover for your machines, commercial motor for trucks, and workers' compensation if you have staff. Because you often work on public roads and car parks, adequate liability limits are especially important.
When should I review my asphalt cover?
Review it before your renewal, which for many contractors is around 30 June, and before the peak laying season when your activity and exposure rise. Make sure newly bought or hired plant is listed and your liability limits match the jobs you are taking on.
