THE PROBLEM
Generic Trade Insurance Doesn't Understand What Scaffolders Actually Do
Most insurance brokers treat scaffolding like any other trade. It isn't. The risks are different, the contracts are stricter, and the policy wording matters.
We listen first
Belinda · Senior Insurance Advisor
Working-at-Heights Liability
A failed bracing, a wrongly tagged platform, an unauthorised access point — claims against scaffolders are routinely six-figure. Generic public liability often excludes or sub-limits height work.
Contract Compliance
Builders, principal contractors and strata managers require specific insurance wording — often $20M public liability and named contract works cover. Off-the-shelf policies rarely tick those boxes.
Tools, Hire Gear & Site Theft
Tube, fittings, planks and hire-yard scaffold get stolen, damaged and disputed. Most generic policies cap recovery so low it isn't worth claiming.
Scaffolding contractors deserve insurance that's written for scaffolding work — not adapted from a generic trade template.
