What is carpenters insurance?

Carpenters Insurance refers to a range of insurance cover options commonly considered by carpenters, joiners and woodworking contractors. Whether you’re framing new homes, completing fit-outs or undertaking renovation work, your business can be exposed to risks involving third-party property damage, tools and equipment, business vehicles and periods where you’re unable to work due to an accident or illness.

Depending on your business activities, cover options may help manage risks associated with third-party property damage, accidental injury, stolen tools, damaged equipment or periods where you’re unable to work due to an accident or illness.

Our team can help you understand the available options, so you can choose the cover that best suits your individual circumstances and business needs.
