Frequently asked questions

Who is tradesman insurance for?

Tradesman insurance is for any small tradesman, business or self-employed ‘one man band’.

Does tradesman insurance cover tools?

Yes, you can include tool cover as part of your tradesman insurance policy, along with a range of other additional extras to tailor your insurance policy to fit your business. Call us on 01970 636925 to learn more and get a quote.

Can I insure my van on my tradesman insurance policy?

No. For that, you’ll require a separate commercial vehicle policy.

What does tradesman insurance cover as standard?

Tradesman insurance typically covers standard liability, which includes public liability to protect against claims made for injuries or damage caused to third parties or their property. Optional extras often available are employers’ liability, professional indemnity, and personal accident cover. These options can provide additional protection against a variety of risks tradespeople might face. For detailed information about what is included in our standard tradesman insurance and available additional coverages, please call us on 01970 636925. Our specialist advisers can guide you through the specifics to ensure your policy meets your business needs.

 

What is the difference between tradesman insurance and business insurance?

Tradesman insurance is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of tradespeople, offering coverage options such as tool cover, contract works, and public liability that are particularly relevant to the trade industry. Business insurance, on the other hand, is a broader category catering to a wider range of businesses. It typically includes essential covers like public liability and employers’ liability but is not tailored specifically to the risks associated with trades. If you require insurance for a trade-specific business, a tradesman insurance policy would be more suitable. For other business types, a general small business combined policy might be more appropriate. For guidance on choosing the right insurance for your business, contact our expert advisers at 01970 636925.

Testimonials

“We’ve had insurance cover with Greenlands since 2009 for our dairy farm and growing holiday lets. With many changes to our businesses over the years, their experienced staff have been excellent – keeping us informed and smoothly updating our insurance policies. Greenlands have always been very competitive, which is hugely important to us, and we find it reassuring to know whenever we need to contact them that there’s always someone at the end of a phone”

Teifi and Rhys Evans

We’d like to thank Greenlands for the exceptional service we’ve received for 20+ years. They’ve insured our vehicles, farm property, stock and tourism business efficiently and with one-to-one contact when needed.

 

We’ve had to make a substantial claim in the last year, with the house being affected by a burst in the attic that caused much damage. This was very upsetting, but the help that we received was very much appreciated; we were appointed professional assessors who dealt with us promptly and efficiently.

 

Thank you for your continued service.

Arwel and Neris Davies

“I just wanted to express my thanks to you and your colleagues for your speed, efficiency, attention to details and customer focus in dealing with my application over the last few days. I particularly appreciated the personal touch of you calling me to follow up both the initial enquiry and me coming on board.

I can now understand why Greenlands is so widely recommended – and I will be doing the same”
