Contractors Insurance with Howden

The construction industry has seen considerable change over the last 10 years, including some significant changes in the way it’s regulated. Many have had an impact on the way contractors operate and, as a result, the risks they face have increased. Therefore, if you work as a contractor, you need to be sure the insurance cover you have is adequate to cover the risks.

However, fear not, because providing insurance for contractors and their companies is one of Howden’s key strengths. Our experienced staff can help with all aspects of contractor insurance, and can support single subcontractors, large corporate developers, and main contractors.

Our range of cover comprises all the major policies, including employers and public liability insurance for construction, contractors all risks insurance, engineering all risks, professional indemnity, commercial combined and motor fleet.

We provide a bespoke service to each client, and benefits which are not offered by many of our competitors – including direct relationships with main underwriters. And for clients who require a full claims service, we offer regular review meetings and detailed management of large or complex claims.
