Insurance for Scaffolders
Scaffolding businesses face a unique set of risks that require careful management. Working at height, operating on active job sites, and handling heavy-duty equipment all carry potential hazards. Falls, equipment failures, structural issues, and delays from weather or incorrect assembly can result in costly disruptions. There’s also the risk of property damage or injuries on-site, which can impact both your team and your reputation. That’s why having the right scaffolders insurance in place is essential. It helps protect your business from financial loss, legal liability, and unexpected downtime, allowing you to stay focused on your work.
Why Scaffolders Need Insurance
Scaffolding work often involves operating at heights, moving heavy materials, and managing unpredictable conditions on-site. Even with strict safety protocols, there’s always a chance that something could go wrong. Without the right insurance in place, your business may be left to absorb unexpected costs, whether from an accident, damage, or a sudden delay.
- Injury to third parties, such as site visitors or passers-by
- Accidental damage to nearby property or structures
- Loss or damage to tools, equipment, or materials
- Interruptions to your work due to weather, theft, or liability claims

What is scaffolding insurance?
Scaffolding insurance is a specialised policy designed to protect businesses involved in erecting and dismantling scaffolding. Given the industry’s high risk, this insurance safeguards against potential liabilities such as third-party injuries, property damage, and equipment loss.
What does public liability insurance cover for scaffolders?
Public liability insurance provides protection if your scaffolding activities cause injury to third parties or damage to their property. For instance, if a passerby is injured by falling equipment or scaffolding collapses and damages a nearby structure, this policy covers legal fees and compensation claims.
Does scaffolding insurance cover subcontractors?
Coverage for subcontractors varies between policies. Some insurers offer protection for subcontractors upon request, while others may require them to hold their own insurance.
Are there height restrictions on coverage?
Some insurers set height limits on coverage, which can leave gaps in protection for high-rise projects. We have specialised policies available that offer full coverage, no matter how high the job takes you.
