Why do I need window cleaning business insurance?
Window cleaning is an inherently risky business with some obvious dangers attached. Working from heights, either from a ladder, lift or bosun’s chair, naturally presents the risk of injury to you or your employees. But one of the primary concerns of every window cleaning business is public liability and concerns around damage to client property.
Because window cleaning is constantly taking place on external premises, public liability insurance for window cleaners is important to help protect against mistakes or accidents occurring on site. There are a number of reasons to acquire window cleaning insurance:
- You want cover for damages to public property or injury to members of the public.
- You want cover for your equipment.
- You want liability cover for your employees (which is typically a legal requirement for any business that employs staff).
For most window cleaning businesses, most, if not all of these reasons mentioned will factor in to the regular operation of the business. And with potentially significant financial damages attached to any of these occurrences, it’s particularly important for smaller businesses to have an appropriate insurance framework in place to handle an accident or error that leads to a claim against the business.
And that’s where Gallagher can help.
