Public liability insurance for drain cleaners

Whether you specialise in cleaning drains in residential or commercial properties, or both, your role will bring you into contact with members of the public on a frequent basis. And if you cause injury or property damage while carrying out your work, you might find yourself subject to costly legal claims. This is why it’s so important to make sure you have public liability insurance for drain cleaners.
 
For example, as you’re carrying out high pressure jetting to clear a drain for the council, a passerby trips over your cleaning hose, suffering injuries as a result. In a case like this, you could find yourself subject to significant legal fees and compensation costs - but with public liability insurance for drain cleaners, you will be protected.

Do I need drain cleaners’ insurance?

Lacking suitable cover can spell disaster for drain cleaners. The nature of your work means it’s impossible to rule out potentially costly accidents. You might make a mistake when trying to clear an obstruction in a customer’s drain that results in water damage to their property - landing you with a big repair bill. Or a member of the public might fall over your toolbox and sue you for their injuries. Having public liability cover in place will mean you’re not left to cope with these expenses yourself. It’s also important to be aware that some clients might require you to have this type of cover in place. The right liability protection not only gives you peace of mind as a business owner, but also provides your customers with added reassurance.
 
What about the tools you use for your drain cleaning work? From jet pumps to cleaning rods, you might rely on various pieces of equipment. If they were stolen, damaged or lost, could you afford to repair them or buy new ones? With suitable tools insurance in place, you won’t have to.
 
If you have people working for your drain cleaning business, the law demands that you purchase employers’ liability cover. In fact, you can be fined £2,500 for every day that you lack this type of insurance as an employer.
