Window Cleaning Insurance

The nature of window cleaning comes with risks for you and your clients, so it’s important you have the right cover in place. Some possible pitfalls include:

• When cleaning, you accidentally break a client’s window
• You fall from a height and injure yourself while working
• An employee gets injured on the job
• Chemicals you use cause permanent damage
• A fire causes material damage and disrupts your business operations

You might find some of your clients insist on you having the right insurance before working with you, if you’re self-employed or contracted. Having the right cover in place can be essential for securing work.

Window cleaner insurance could cost from 23p a day*

Your actual price for window cleaning insurance depends on your requirements. This is because your business is unique, and prices depend on a number of factors, including:   

• Extent of cover — The more cover you opt for, the more expensive your package will likely be.  
• Your insurer — Depending on who is willing to insure you, the price for their policies will vary.  
• The type of work — Working from a height may seem riskier to insurers
• Location — The location of your business is taken into consideration when calculating the cost of your premiums.  
• Claims history — If you’ve made a previous claim on your policy or had claims made against you, it may affect your future premiums.

If you are carrying out cleaning as a business activity then you should ensure you have the right insurance in place.

Public liability insurance is key to help protect yourself and your business if you have to pay compensation after a claim against you.

Some clients may also refuse to work with you if you don’t have the right insurance. You might even be asked to show proof of public liability insurance before securing new work.
