Public liability insurance for carpet cleaners  

Carpet cleaning inevitably brings you into contact with members of the public and their possessions. This means you should strongly consider taking out public liability insurance to protect yourself against claims made by third parties for injury or property damage suffered due to your business.

When you’re dealing with electrical equipment, water and cleaning chemicals, there is always a chance that something will go wrong - no matter how careful you are. If it does, the consequences for your finances could be serious. For example, you might accidentally damage a wall or spill cleaning fluid on other items of furniture, leaving them stained.

Or a customer might trip over an electrical cable leading to your extraction cleaner, suffering injuries as a result. In cases like these, you could find yourself subject to costly compensation claims.   Public liability insurance for carpet cleaners covers compensation payments in instances like these, as well as the legal costs of defending the claim.

Do I need carpet cleaners’ insurance?

As a carpet cleaner, you might need certain types of financial protection. This is because if a problem arises and you lack appropriate insurance, you could be left facing significant costs. This may even jeopardise the future of your business.

For example, a worker in a busy office might trip over a rug you have moved while you are cleaning the carpet underneath, suffering injuries as a result. Could you deal with the possible legal expenses and compensation costs if something like this were to happen? Or what if you spill cleaning fluid on a laptop or other electronic device in a customer’s workplace or home? Would you be able to pay to repair the damage? If your finances would come under strain in situations like these, you should consider getting appropriate insurance.

There are your workers to think about too. If you employ people, you’re legally required to have at least £5 million of employers’ liability cover in place. Also, consider any tools you rely on to do your job. This equipment may be costly, and if it’s damaged, lost or stolen, you’ll need to replace or repair it. The right tools insurance will mean you’re not left out of pocket in a scenario like this.
