About Us

What is Painters & Decorators Insurance?

Painters & Decorators Insurance is a specialised tradesman policy created for professionals in the decorating and finishing industry. It provides cover for the everyday (and not-so-everyday) risks you face—like spills, falls, or stolen gear.

Whether you're tackling domestic projects or high-end commercial work, this cover gives you the protection and peace of mind to focus on what you do best—without worrying about the “what ifs.”

What does Painters & Decorators Insurance cover?

Our policies are fully flexible and built around how you work. Common cover options include:

  • Public Liability Insurance – Covers you if a customer or third party is injured or their property is damaged (e.g., spilled paint, ladder accidents).
  • Employers’ Liability Insurance – A legal must if you have staff, protecting against injury or illness claims.
  • Contract Works Insurance – Covers work in progress if it’s damaged or stolen before the job is signed off.
  • Tools & Equipment Cover – Protects your brushes, sprayers, ladders and more—on site, in your van, or in storage.
  • Van Insurance – Keeps your decorating van protected with cover tailored to business use.
  • Professional Indemnity Insurance – Handy if you offer colour consultation, design advice, or project management.

We’ll help you pick the right combination of cover to match the size and style of your work.

Why I chose Painters Insurance with Crowthorne

I’ve tried a few insurers over the years, but Crowthorne just got it right:

  • They understood the kind of work I do—no explaining needed.
  • The quote was clear, quick, and no pressure.
  • I didn’t get sold extras I’d never use.
  • They’ve been around for decades, and it shows.
  • When my tools were stolen, they helped straight away.

I’ve already recommended them to other painters I know. If you want cover that actually fits your trade, they’re the ones to talk to.

What Our Clients Say

“Crowthorne Insurance were very useful for when I needed 28 day chassis insurance on my unregistered classic Japanese import car in order to drive it to and from an MOT for its registration. Quick replies and no fuss. The price was high considering it was only for 28 days but I guess not unusual for that kind of specialist insurance. Would use again in the future!”
Beth L
“Contact with the Cowthorne team is a pleasurable experience - they are always helpful, efficient and will search the market for the best policy.”
Peter Foister
“Went there for my Car insurance. Got a great deal better than on line and other shops. Boss was a very nice chap and the man that served me Neil ,was very helpful.and sorted me out a great deal. Yes i can recommend this company. Hope i can say the same next year when i get the renew price. If they play there cards right they may get my house and other car and holiday insurance. Thanks Crowthorne insurance.”
Ray Thorpe
“I used Crowthorne Insurance recently as a new driver, and they really helped me out. They are always friendly and polite, never kept me waiting long over the phone or e-mail, and were always happy to answer any questions I had.I had a particularly good experience talking to Jack, who went above and beyond to get me a policy which wasn't prohibitively expensive at a time when the insurance market is particularly harsh to new drivers. It would not be an exaggeration to say that thanks to his efforts, I've saved thousands of pounds.I highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them again when it's time to renew. Thanks guys!”
