Business insurance

Insurance for Handyman Services

Handyman work touches a lot of different properties and tasks, so public liability cover is the foundation — protecting you if your work damages a client's home or someone is injured as a result. Tool and contents cover protects the kit in your van against theft and damage, which is a real risk for a vehicle that is your mobile workshop, and motor cover handles the van and trailer. Personal accident or income-protection cover matters when you are a sole trader whose income stops if you are hurt. If you take on a helper, workers' compensation is required. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover and tool sums insured before the new financial year, and make sure your policy reflects the range of work you actually do.

Common questions

Handyman Services — insurance questions

What insurance does a handyman need?

Public liability is essential because you work in clients' homes and a mistake can cause damage or injury. Tool and contents cover protects your van full of gear against theft, and if you are a sole trader, personal accident or income-protection cover guards your earnings if you are injured.

Does my insurance need to match the work I take on?

Yes. Because handyman work spans many tasks, it is important your public liability policy reflects the range of jobs you actually do. If your work strays into areas your policy excludes, a claim could be knocked back, so it is worth confirming your cover matches your real scope.
