As a tiler and flooring contractor, you may want to consider getting Business Insurance to help protect you and your business from things that can go wrong at work.
Tilers and flooring contractors face a range of risks at work every day. Working with things like cutters, sharp tools, and jigsaws that can cause accidental injury or damage. If certain things go wrong during or after a job and a claim is made against you, it could create a number of additional costs for your business. Public Liability cover is designed to cover these types of liability claims, including cover for reasonable legal costs if you need to defend yourself in a dispute.
With our Business Insurance, you can choose a level of Public Liability cover that suits your business. You may also want to add cover for things like your tools, commercial vehicles and more.
Getting insurance for your tiling and flooring contractor business can offer a number of important benefits, such as:
We offer cover for businesses that carry out general tiling and flooring activities. These may include things like installation of ceramic tiles, laminate, vinyl, carpet or timber. This would also include the repair and maintenance of these surfaces.

This is the most common type of insurance for businesses, designed to cover liability claims after certain things go wrong at work, like if a client trips over your tools and injures themselves after you accidentally left them in the hallway of their home, and you as the insured are found liable.
When you get your Public Liability cover, you can also add cover options for your tools, work vehicles and more – so you can cover what matters most to your business.
