Joinery Insurance

Comprehensive protection for joiners against liability, equipment damage, and workplace risks.

Protecting Joiners, Workshops, and Projects with Tailored Coverage

Joinery Insurance provides comprehensive protection for joiners, whether you run a small workshop, work independently, or manage a team of skilled craftsmen. From handling precision tools to installing wooden fittings in homes or commercial spaces, the work of joiners carries risks that can lead to costly claims, equipment damage, or business interruptions. With tailored coverage, you can safeguard your craft, your assets, and your financial stability.
Joinery work involves both creativity and risk. Sharp tools, heavy materials, and on-site installations expose joiners to hazards that could lead to injuries, damaged property, or third-party claims. For example, a client could trip over equipment at a job site, or a cutting machine could malfunction, causing delays and repair costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do joiners need specialised insurance?
Joiners often work with expensive tools, heavy materials, and on client properties. Accidents like damaging a customer’s furniture, workplace injuries, or stolen equipment can lead to high costs. Specialised insurance ensures you’re protected from these risks so your business can continue running smoothly.

2. Does Joinery Insurance cover my tools and equipment?
Yes. Most policies include tool and equipment coverage, which protects you from losses caused by theft, fire, or accidental damage. This is especially important for joiners who rely heavily on specialised woodworking tools.

3. Is public liability included in Joinery Insurance?
Absolutely. Public liability coverage is a core part of joinery insurance. It protects you if a client or third party suffers injury or property damage because of your work, preventing costly legal and compensation claims.
