Insurance For Glaziers

Glaziers and glazing contractors may carry out window installation, door glazing, shopfront glazing, glass replacement, commercial glazing, domestic glazing, curtain wall system work and property refurbishment projects.

Glass Installation And Glazing Contractors

Glazing work can involve handling fragile and heavy materials, working around customers or other trades, fitting glass into existing structures, replacing damaged panes and installing specialist glazing systems.

A specialist broker may need to understand whether the business works on residential glazing, commercial shopfronts, windows, doors, curtain walling, emergency replacement work or larger construction and refurbishment projects.

Public Liability Insurance Considerations

Public Liability Insurance may be relevant where glazing work creates a risk of third-party injury or damage to property. This could include incidents involving glass handling, installation work, tools, ladders, access equipment, client premises, shopfronts or construction site activities.

Client contracts, venue rules and site requirements may also influence what a glazing contractor needs to discuss with a specialist broker.

Employers' Liability Insurance Considerations

Employers' Liability Insurance may be required where a glazing business employs staff, labour-only subcontractors, apprentices, trainees or temporary workers.

Glazing work can involve manual handling, cutting and fitting glass, loading and unloading materials, working at height, using specialist tools and operating in busy public or commercial environments.
