Fibre-optic installers often require Public Liability Insurance, Employers’ Liability Insurance (if you have staff), Tools and Equipment cover, and Professional Indemnity Insurance. These policies protect you against accidental damage, injury claims, equipment loss, and errors in installation or advice. We tailor these to your business so you’re fully protected.
Yes. With the right Tools, Equipment, and Contract Works cover in place, your policy can protect you if fibre-optic cables, testing devices, or specialist equipment are damaged, lost, or stolen during work. This ensures you can continue the job without costly delays.
Absolutely. Public Liability Insurance is essential for fibre-optic installers and covers accidental damage to property or injury to members of the public while you’re working. Whether you’re installing in a home, office, or industrial environment, you’ll have peace of mind.
While standard policies don’t automatically include downtime or delay cover, we can arrange extensions or additional protection depending on your contract requirements. Let us know how your business operates, and we’ll help build a policy that fits your exact needs.
