Business insurance

Insurance for Floor Sanding and Polishing Specialists

Sanding and coating floors carries real risk — you are working in occupied or near-finished homes with power tools, flammable coatings and fine dust. Public liability is the core cover, protecting you if a coat damages a customer's property or someone is hurt on site, alongside tool and equipment cover for your sanders and a contents policy if you run a workshop. If you have employees, workers' compensation is required.

You will also want to think about cover for the flammable solvents and finishes you store and use. Premiums for a small crew often sit around the ~$1,200 mark, and with many trade policies renewing around 30 June, it pays to review your cover before the new financial year so a damaged floor or stolen sander does not come out of your pocket.

Common questions

Floor Sanding and Polishing Specialists — insurance questions

What insurance does a floor sander really need?

Public liability is essential because you work in customers' homes with dust and flammable coatings, and tool cover protects your sanders and edgers. If you employ anyone, workers' compensation is legally required. Many crews carry all three under one trade policy.

Does my cover account for the flammable coatings I use?

It should. Polyurethanes and solvents are a genuine fire and damage risk, so check your policy does not exclude them and that storage and handling meet the insurer's conditions. Reviewing this before your 30 June renewal avoids a nasty surprise on a claim.
