Insurance For Property Maintenance Contractors

Property maintenance contractors may carry out general repairs, planned maintenance, reactive maintenance, property improvements, commercial maintenance, residential maintenance, building upkeep and facilities management support.

Insurance requirements vary depending on the type of maintenance work undertaken, project values, use of subcontractors, work locations, tools used and the range of services provided.

Building Maintenance And Repair Services

Building maintenance businesses can be involved in a wide range of repair and upkeep tasks, from small property repairs to larger improvement projects. Work may take place in occupied homes, offices, retail units, managed blocks, commercial buildings or communal areas.

A specialist broker may need to understand whether the business carries out decorating, joinery, minor building work, repairs, facilities support, emergency call-outs, planned maintenance contracts or wider property refurbishment tasks.

Public Liability Insurance Considerations

Public Liability Insurance may be relevant where property maintenance work creates a risk of third-party injury or damage to property. This could involve tools, materials, access equipment, repair work, site visits, working in communal areas or carrying out tasks around residents, customers, visitors or other contractors.

Client contracts, property management requirements and site access arrangements may also influence what a maintenance contractor needs to discuss with a specialist broker.

Employers' Liability Insurance Considerations

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

Maintenance work can involve manual handling, tool use, working at height, repairs in occupied buildings, emergency attendance and work in communal or public-facing areas, so staffing arrangements and supervision are important details for a broker to understand.
