Frequently asked questions

Why do I need Public Liability insurance?

If you cause injury to another person or cause damage to their property, then they may make a claim against you for compensation. Public Liability insurance will cover you for any compensation award made against you plus the legal fees to defend you.

Why do I need Employer’s Liability insurance?

If you employ someone to work for you then by law, you must take out Employer’s Liability insurance. Failure to have adequate cover in force could result in your business being fined. For further details about Employer’s Liability insurance being legally required, please refer to the UK Government website (note that Clear is not responsible for the content of external websites):

Do I need Employer’s Liability insurance for subcontractors?

Yes, possibly. Employer’s Liability insurance is legally required if you engage labour either through PAYE or via self-employed labour only sub-contractors.

What other types of cover can I include on my Garden Square insurance?

The answer to this depends on what else you are legally responsible for, but we can include cover for loss or damage to gates and fences as well as other estate property such as permanent structures, pathways, fountains and statues, plants and trees, children’s playground equipment and tennis courts. You can also insure against loss or damage to garden furniture and gardening equipment.

We hold an annual fireworks event in our Garden Square, can this be insured?

Yes, we can arrange to extend your policy to include cover for this, which will be subject to certain conditions imposed by the insurer. Please contact us for further details.
