Cleaners Insurance

At Caunce O’Hara we offer the opportunity to tailor your insurance to meet your specific needs, including:

Property damage – You accidentally damage a customer’s property whilst cleaning the premises requiring the damage to be repaired. In a residential home this could be an ornament, a work of wall art, or a piece of furniture. In a commercial situation, property damage could include computers, monitors, and printers.

Injury to the general public – A passer-by sustains an injury when they slip on a wet floor that you have cleaned and have forgotten to display slip hazard signage.

Over 25 years’ experience

We have been offering business insurance to self-employed professionals since 1995. As a result we understand the needs of self-employed business owners and contractors, which enables us to provide the cover you need.

The cost of an annual premium varies depending on your type of cover (residential or commercial cleaning) and the level of cover you require. Our public liability insurance starts from £56.54* for residential cleaners and from £70.66*for commercial cleaners.

* Price quoted is an annual figure, inclusive of Insurance Premium Tax at the current rate, and based on £1million public liability insurance, with 1 employee, 5+ years trading and no claims in the last 3 years.

As well as public liability insurance, we offer a range of insurance covers for your individual circumstances, including:

• Personal accident insurance – covers you for accidents sustained in the course of your work and can pay a lump sum or regular payments to cover loss of earnings.
• Employers’ liability insurance (EL) – is a legal requirement if you employ staff, with a minimum of £5 million of cover to protect your employees.
• Tools insurance – available with our public liability insurance policy, provides cover from £1,000 to £5,000 for the replacement of your lost, damaged or stolen tools.
• Good in transit insurance – provides cover for your goods against theft, loss or damage while they are being transported in your own vehicle, or on your behalf by a third-party carrier. The policy can cover theft of items whilst in transit; damage caused by an accident during transit; loss of items during transit; and damage caused to items during transit.
• Plant insurance (PI) – we offer cover for both hired-in and owned plant equipment. Plant insurance can cover the costs incurred for ongoing lease hire for hired-in plant while the hired plant is being replaced, recovered or repaired, and can cover the cost of repairing or replacing owned plant following theft, loss or damage (accidental or malicious) to your equipment.
• Contract works insurance – cover for costs incurred in having to re-do work that is part of a contract, including the cost of the tools, materials and the labour, should the existing work be destroyed by fire, flood, or theft.
• Professional indemnity insurance (PI) – covers professionals who give advice, provide designs or other professional services to customers and covers allegations of negligent work.

The excess is the amount you pay towards a claim you make on your insurance policy. For example, if you make a claim for £1,000 for stolen tools and your excess is £200, then your payout will be £800.

Please note the figures shown are for illustrative purposes only and any excess applied to your quote may differ, or affect the price.
