Why Public Liability Is Essential for Cleaners
Here’s a breakdown of our most popular policies for cleaning professionals:

Income replacement if you’re injured or ill
24/7 cover — work or personal time
Optional extras for death or permanent disability
What’s Not Covered:
Pre-existing injuries or ongoing conditions

Working With Builders or Subcontracting
If you take on builders cleans, post-construction cleaning, or subcontract for larger projects, you’ll often need to meet strict insurance and compliance requirements before stepping on site. Many builders, commercial clients, and government contracts will ask for proof of cover, specific certificates, or licensing details.
At ProTrades Insurance, we make the process quick and stress-free so you can start work without delays.
✅ Certificate of Currency issued same-day
✅ Contract Works Insurance available for construction site cleaning jobs
✅ Builder & site compliance support to meet insurance and safety requirements
