Business insurance
Insurance for Roofing Contractors
Roofing is one of the higher-risk trades. Public liability is essential — you are working at height around other trades, and a dropped tool, fallen sheet or water ingress can cause serious injury or property damage. Edge-protection and working-at-height obligations make safety central, and faulty-workmanship exposure matters because a leak that appears after a re-roof can mean costly internal damage. Tool and contents cover protects your gear against theft, and workers' compensation applies once you have crew. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year.
Common questions
Roofing Contractors — insurance questions
Why is public liability so important for roofers?
Because the consequences of height work are severe — a dropped sheet, a fall or water damage from an open roof can run into a major claim. Most builders will not let you on site without it, and it protects you if a claim is made over your work.
Am I covered for a leak that appears after a re-roof?
That is where faulty-workmanship exposure matters — a leak that fails after handover can cause real internal damage. Cockatoo can help match you to a broker who understands roofing and height work rather than treating you generically.
