Insurance for Window and Door Installation Contractors
Window and door installation contractors face a specific set of risks that arise from working with large, heavy glazed units in occupied properties. Breakage of glass during installation, damage to surrounding brickwork or internal finishes, and the liability exposure from incorrectly fitted units that subsequently fail — allowing water ingress or compromising security — are among the most common causes of claims. A specialist window fitters insurance policy addresses these risks in a way that general tradesman policies often do not.
Public liability insurance for window fitters needs to include cover for damage caused by glass breakage and for the consequences of installation defects that manifest after completion. If you install high-performance glazing, bi-fold doors, or composite entrance systems, the replacement cost of materials alone can be substantial. Employers liability is a legal requirement if you employ fitters or labourers. Tools and equipment cover for glass handling equipment, cutting tools, and installation machinery is also worth considering.
At Focus Insurance, we arrange window and door insurance through specialist insurers who understand the fenestration sector. We can cover uPVC, aluminium, and timber window installations, composite and bi-fold door systems, conservatories and orangeries, and commercial glazing contracts. Whether you are a sole trader or a larger installation business, our brokers will assess your specific activities and contract values before approaching the market to ensure your policy is correctly structured.
