GAS ENGINEERS INSURANCE
Here at Rhino Trade Insurance, we offer a range of gas engineers insurance. Whether you’re a gas engineer or gas fitter, our specialist cover provides the cheapest rates we’ve found on the market.
We at Rhino have industry leading rates for anyone operating as a gas engineer and can offer insurance quotes easily online or over the phone within 30 seconds. There are several tradesman insurance policies that would benefit your gas engineers & gas fitters’ business, and public liability insurance is the most common and important example of this.
GAS ENGINEERS PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE
Public Liability Insurance for gas engineers covers the professional who has taken out the policy if the work they undertake causes damage to a customer’s property, or the work results in accidental injury or death to a member of the public. An example of a public liability insurance claim for a gas engineer would be if during your work in a customer’s home, the customer was to fall over your toolkit, injuring themselves and holding you responsible. Having public liability insurance in place in these instances will provide the financial protection you need in order to pay any compensation required. Note that we can also offer employers liability insurance, which is a legal requirement for any business that has any employees.
TOOLS IN TRANSIT INSURANCE
Operating as a gas fitter & gas engineer means that you will use a range of expensive tools and equipment in order to carry out your work to a high standard. Keeping your tools safe is very important and ensuring that you have put the necessary precautions in place to prevent tools theft is of course vital. Insurance acts as a guaranteed way of easing the strain and pain businesses can feel as a result of tools theft and offers peace of mind that if the worst were to happen to your business, you would still be covered.
POPULAR POLICIES FOR GAS ENGINEERS
Professional Indemnity Insurance for gas engineers and fitters provides cover in instances where your professional advice or designs cause your client financial loss. If, because of the work you have performed, you are held responsible, then professional indemnity insurance will provide the right cover for your gas engineers business. We understand that to work on boilers and central heating you must be fully qualified, but accidents can happen. We at Rhino urge anyone operating as a gas engineer to get you and your business covered.
Having legal expenses insurance in place means that you are covered against a range of legal risks and disputes. Legal insurance for gas engineers provides cover of up to £50,000 in the event of having to make a legal claim against a third party, or defending a legal claim made against your business. Rhino’s legal expenses insurance also provides cover for the policyholder in the event that they are called up for jury duty and experience a loss of earnings as a result. Handy!
Protecting your income in the event of injury, death or sickness is one of the most important policies a gas engineer can take out for their business.
Being a self-employed professional means that you are reliant on your health and physical well being in order to earn a living and get paid. If you were unable to work as a result of an accident you had outside of the workplace or on a job means that you would not be getting paid until you are better.
Personal accident insurance exists to offer a lump sum payout and daily hospital benefit if an injury like this were to occur. The sickness insurance provides income protection cover, meaning that you will still be able to earn a wage in the event of long-term sickness or disease. The policies provide reassurance that your finances would not suffer as a result.
As a self-employed professional working as a gas fitter & gas engineer, you are responsible for certain duties and responsibilities attributed to the running of your business. Whether you are operating as a limited company or a sole trader, paying the right amount of tax to HMRC is vital in ensuring that your business is compliant in the eyes of the Revenue. Rhino’s Tax Enquiry Insurance offers the policyholder defence and representation in the event of an HMRC investigation or enquiry into your business tax. HMRC can look at many aspects of your business, from the classification of sub-contractors to the submission of tax returns and having an insurance policy that covers any potential defence can prove invaluable.
Anyone working in the trades needs their van in order to get to work, visit clients and perform their professional duties. For a gas engineer or gas fitter, having a van to transport equipment, tools and personnel is of course paramount in being able to operate successfully. We have worked hard to source great insurance policies and partners for our clients to benefit from. We offer cheap van insurance for gas engineers and all trades via our partners Vaninsurance.co.uk, brokering market leading rates to keep your van covered and on the road.
WHAT IS GAS ENGINEERS & GAS FITTERS INSURANCE?
Operating as a gas fitter brings with it potential risks and dangers unique to the profession of a gas engineer. Working as a gas fitter means that the work you carry out on boilers and central heating requires specialist skills in order to tackle the daily challenges of this profession.
The work undertaken by gas engineers and gas fitters also requires the appropriate qualification in order to be performed, and as a result of this specialist requirement, the work undertaken by gas engineers is classed as high risk. High risk professions require high levels of protection, and in these cases having the right insurance in place is very important.
