What is Scaffolders Insurance?
Scaffolders Insurance is a dedicated tradesman policy crafted for professionals working at height. It covers the real-world risks scaffolders face daily—like third-party injuries, falling equipment, or damage to structures.
Whether you’re erecting temporary scaffolding for domestic jobs or managing large-scale commercial sites, this insurance helps keep your business protected, compliant, and ready for whatever the job throws at you.
Scaffolding is high-risk, high-responsibility work. From setup to teardown, every job demands precision—and solid protection. Our Scaffolders Insurance is built to support you whether you’re a one-man team or running crews across multiple sites.

What does Scaffolders Insurance cover?
Because scaffolding is a specialist trade, your insurance should be too. Our cover can include:
- Public Liability Insurance – Crucial cover if someone is injured or property is damaged due to your scaffolding (e.g., collapsed poles, falling items).
- Employers’ Liability Insurance – A legal requirement if you hire workers, protecting against injury or illness claims from employees.
- Contract Works Insurance – Protects scaffolding structures and ongoing jobs from accidental damage or theft before project completion.
- Tools & Equipment Cover – Covers scaffolding tools and kit—from harnesses to spanners—wherever they're kept.
- Plant & Machinery Cover – Optional cover for owned or hired scaffolding towers, lifts, and related equipment.
- Van Insurance – Business van cover tailored for scaffolders.
- Professional Indemnity Insurance – Useful if you offer consulting or planning services for scaffold design and layout.
We’ll help you select the right mix of protection for the way you work.

“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!”

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!”
