Insurance covers to consider
When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:
Public liability insurance
Public liability cover as part of your window cleaners insurance can protect you from claims made against you by your clients and other members of the public for accidental injury, or accidental damage to their property. For instance, if you damaged a window during the course of your business, or a passer-by tripped over a ladder or hose, you may be liable to pay compensation. As careful as you may be, accidents do happen. Public liability insurance can protect your livelihood against large payouts for compensation in these instances.

Employers' liability insurance
If you have staff working for you, you will need to take out employers’ liability cover to fulfil your legal requirement. Your window cleaners insurance can ensure all those involved in your business are protected against accidental damage or injury in the course of your business. Climbing ladders and working with glass can be risky, so ensuring you have the correct cleaning business insurance is essential.

Personal accident cover
Personal accident cover can also be included in your window cleaner insurance, which is specifically designed to protect business owners and business partners if you had an accident at work. For instance, if you fell from a ladder and broke a limb, you may not be able to return to work for a while, Personal accident cover is designed to provide a weekly benefit if you injured yourself at work meaning you were unable to trade.

Tools & equipment cover
Tools and equipment cover can also be incorporated into your window cleaning insurance policy and can be protected against several perils. Should your equipment become damaged, this may impact your ability to trade for a while.

Vehicle insurance
A commercial vehicle or van could be a crucial part of your business; whether it’s for transporting your window cleaning tools and equipment, or even just getting to and from your customers daily, we understand the need for a quality cover that gives you peace of mind. Take a look at the business van insurance page to find out more about van insurance for window cleaners.

Commercial legal protection
You may wish to include commercial legal expenses within your insurance, to offer protection against tax and VAT disputes, employment disputes and compensation awards, as well as cover should you or a member of staff be called up for jury service.
