PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

Public Liability is particularly important to Carpenters, being on sites and working with construction companies, and they are exposed to a variety of risks. This insurance would cover you in a variety of circumstance, such as a door installed fell on a third party, or the third party was injured during the process of your work.
TOOLS COVER
As a carpenter, your toolbox is your treasure trove. Insuring your tools against loss or damage is essential to keep your business running smoothly. Cover applies to tools you have lost due to theft even though they were safely stored in a secure location. Tools Insurance also provides coverage for accidental or fire damage, and also damages due to natural disasters, like lightning or storms.
ACCIDENT & SICKNESS INSURANCE
Many carpenters are self-employed, meaning they often can’t obtain Workers Compensation, or paid sick leave. Accident & Sickness Insurance covers you in the instance you injure yourself or fall ill, by providing you with a weekly income while you are off work. Bluewell offers you best coverage and most competitive premiums for Accident & Sickness insurance, just talk to our team.
