Let’s be honest, sorting insurance is probably somewhere near the bottom of most plumbers’ to-do lists.
When you’re busy quoting, ordering materials, managing customers, chasing invoices, and actually being on the tools, reviewing your insurance isn’t exactly exciting. Most people set it up, renew it, and move on.
But here’s the thing, plumbing businesses change.
Maybe you’ve taken on an apprentice. Maybe you’ve brought in extra help on bigger jobs. Maybe you’ve invested in more tools, upgraded the van, or your workload looks very different to what it did a year or two ago.
And when that happens, it’s worth asking a simple question: does your cover still match the business you’re running today?
Because in this trade, when something goes wrong, it can get expensive quickly.
A van break-in can wipe out thousands of pounds’ worth of tools overnight. An issue on-site can delay work, affect customers, and create a lot of unnecessary stress. Even a short period off the tools can have a knock-on effect if jobs need to be rescheduled.
It’s not something anyone likes thinking about, but it’s part of running a business properly.
That’s why we wanted to share an exclusive offer from our sponsor, Kingsbridge, who work specifically with trades businesses across the UK.
They’re currently offering 10% off Trades Insurance for plumbers through The Plumber Awards, with cover designed around the realities of being on the tools.
That includes:
- Up to £2,500 tools cover included as standard
- Next business day payout on accepted tool theft claims
- Claims paid for tools stolen from a secured van overnight
- Support from their UK-based team
- Cover built around trade businesses
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
The key point isn’t to sell insurance for the sake of it. It’s simply to remind you – trade professionals – that if your business has changed, your cover may need to change too.
Good plumbing businesses protect more than just their workmanship, they protect the business behind it as well.
If you haven’t reviewed your insurance in a while, now’s probably a good time to have a look.
