Most painters and decorators are that good at painting, they never spill the paint, but the accidents do happen, more often they are accidents or new apprentice painters have the accidents. Clients may fall over ladders, slip on decorators tools , there are so many accidents that can happen in the homeplace, to think you can not cover most accidents would be a dire move on your business finances.

As a painter and decorator most have apprentice painters helping them work on business lists or clients home addresses. As an employer you would need to have painters and decorators employers liability insurance, this is usually covered as standard in most painters tradesman insurance policy.

A painters and decorators public liability insurance policy will usually begin as low as 100 per year for some painters , this policy may never be claimed on ever, one claim against your company could cost you thousands of pounds, the claim then would go straight to a solicitor.
