Business insurance
Insurance for Carpenters
Carpentry carries real risk on site. You are working at heights, using power tools and leaving structures others rely on. Public liability is essential — it covers injury and property damage on the job, and most builders will not let you on site without it. Faulty-workmanship exposure matters because a deck, frame or staircase that fails can cause serious harm long after you have left. Add tool cover for theft and damage, vehicle cover for the ute and trailer, and workers' compensation once you put on an apprentice or labourer. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year.
Common questions
Carpenters — insurance questions
Do builders require me to have my own insurance?
Almost always. Most builders and head contractors require subbies to hold their own public liability before they step on site, and many ask for proof of cover. It is effectively the cost of getting work.
Is my tool theft covered if gear is taken from the ute?
Only if you hold tool cover that includes theft from a vehicle or site, and you meet the conditions like a locked, alarmed vehicle. Standard policies often limit or exclude tools left in a ute overnight, so check the detail before you rely on it.
