Types of Insurance for Pool Builders
Pool builders and installers are exposed to a range of risks in their day-to-day activities. From glass breakage to damages incurred on the customer’s property during pool installations, it only makes sense for you to have a pool builders insurance cover that protects you in all these potential situations.
Pool builders, installers, and many other pool construction professionals need to take out insurance, but with so many different levels of cover to choose from, you might find it difficult to ascertain which level of protection is right for you.

Builders Public Liability Insurance

However, your specific level of cover will depend on your unique circumstances and work as a pool builder or installer. For any questions or further information about what insurance you need as a pool building professional, we’re your risk advisers you can rely on.
Why Should You Protect Your Pool Installation Business?
Pool builders and installers are typically at risk in two different settings, within the business premises and when at the customer’s home. At your premises you have the obvious risk of damage to your building. We have also seen several claims involving damage to stock, particularly fiberglass pools stored outdoors which are susceptible to fire, storm, hail, or malicious damage from trespassers.
At the home of your customers, the installation process can become very technical, particularly when dealing with an existing property with limited access. We have seen claims for damaged fences and neighbouring properties while trying to gain access, roof damage while installing hot water solar systems, damage to underground facilities during the excavation process and leaking pools from faulty installation.
