What is window cleaning insurance?
Window cleaning insurance is a public liability policy that is tailored for professional window cleaners, protecting against claims for injuries or property damage caused during your work. This cover is vital, given the risks involved with heights and specialised equipment.
It covers a range of scenarios where your window cleaning business could be held legally responsible for causing harm or damage.
Some key areas it typically includes are injury to third parties, damage to third-party property, legal expenses, and compensation claims.
Public liability insurance is crucial to window cleaning companies for several reasons:
- Business reputation: Insurance assures clients that you’re a professional who takes responsibility seriously.
- Financial protection: Accidents such as damaged windows or injuries caused by falling equipment can lead to expensive claims, which insurance helps cover.
- Client Requirements: Many commercial clients require window cleaners to have insurance as part of their hiring process.
What are the benefits of a policy?
Personal injury claims
With window cleaning insurance, you’re covered if someone is injured during your work, such as a passerby being hit by a falling tool or ladder.
Damage to property
This insurance protects against claims for damage to property, like accidentally scratching windows or breaking panes during cleaning.
Legal protection
Should you face a liability claim, window cleaning insurance covers the legal expenses of defending your business, whether the claim is valid or not.
* Subject to your chosen level of policy cover and the prevailing policy excess.
How much does window cleaning insurance cost?
This depends on the nature and size of your window cleaning business, the level of risk involved and any claims history you might have.
The cost of public liability insurance varies based on several factors:
Level of cover
The level of cover you select, often starting at £1 million, will influence costs. Higher levels, such as £5 million, may be needed for large contracts.
Nature of business
Working at height or with specialist equipment can increase premiums due to the added risks involved.
Location
Operating in areas with higher risks, such as urban environments with dense foot traffic, may also affect costs.
Business size and turnover
For window cleaning businesses, higher turnover could result in increased premiums as it often corresponds to more jobs and risks.
Number of employees
More employees mean higher risks and claims potential, so having a larger team may lead to higher insurance costs.
Claims history
A clean claims history can help keep costs down, while frequent claims may lead to higher premiums.
