Public liability insurance protects your business financially if someone makes a claim against you for damage to themselves or their property whilst you are on their premises. For example if someone trips over your tools and hurts themselves or you accidentally break something then public liability insurance will cover you.

We are happy to provide quotes as cover is dependent on several factors - your trade, how many employees you have and how much cover you need. Ashburnham also give you the option to pay monthly or yearly and we provide instant proof of cover.

Most businesses who employ staff need employers’ liability insurance. It covers all full-time, part-time and temporary staff as well as self-employed contractors, apprentices and any voluntary workers who may be working for you. Protecting your employees’ health and wellbeing is your responsibility whilst they are at work. Cover includes:

• Tripping/falling over work equipment
• RSI (repetitive strain injury) and back injuries from computer work
• Accidents on site caused by equipment failure.

Employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement and you can be fined if you fail to show your insurance certificate to inspectors.

Professional indemnity insurance is optional but recommended for anyone whose business provides a specialist or advisory service. Ashburnham recommend that the following types of business should consider professional indemnity insurance:

• Accountants, insurance brokers, solicitors and other clerical professions

Offering protection against financial losses incurred through legal costs or compensation fees to clients, professional indemnity insurance covers you if a client claims that advice or services provided by your company has damaged their reputation or caused them to lose money.

Buildings that are used for something other than living in still need to be insured. Shops, surgeries, leisure centres, recording studios and restaurants can be covered by commercial property insurance as can premises that are part residential/part commercial, for example a flat over a shop.

Our woodland insurance scheme is perfect if you own a wooded area in the UK. The land mainly consists of trees but may also include shrubs, bushes and other plants that can commonly be found in woodland areas.

The most common types of claim we see on all of our land products involve trees.

Arable land insurance, or agricultural land insurance is for an area of land that is capable of being ploughed and is being used to grow such crops, either by yourself or by a farmer to whom you rent the land.

The policy will provide protection to the land owner from any injury or damage occurring to a third-party on the land.

Brownfield insurance covers sites that have previously been developed and then abandoned. It could also cover underused industrial or commercial facilities that will generally be available for reuse. These sites often still have empty buildings or factories on the land so therefore they are not covered in the same way as normal land insurance.

Development site insurance is for land that is actively being developed or is intended for development work in the future. This work could be the construction of houses, flats or any other building. The insurance is used to protect you from any instance where a third party might injure themselves whilst they are on the land and then hold you liable as the person who owns it.

Moorland usually refers to an open area of waste land with peaty soil covered with overgrown heath. This uncultivated moorland may contain growth of coarse grasses, heather, bracken and moss. It is also sometimes referred to as heathland or shrubland due to the vegetation that can be found in such tracts.

Private roads, also known as unadopted roads, and residents' land are usually jointly owned by the private individuals who reside on the road. Unlike normal roads owned by the local authority, private roads are the responsibility of the owner(s) and it is up to them to keep them maintained and insured.

The nature of roads is that they are usually easily accessible by the public which means that a trip or accident by a third party could easily be round the corner. A residential road could be subject to various public activity such as access a communal car park that friends, family and visitors use or even a footpath that the public use as a cut through to other places.

Rough Country Insurance is a type of land insurance where you can insure a piece of land that you may own in case anyone who is walking on the land was to injure themselves and hold you liable because you are the land owner.

Due to the fact that this type of land is particularly hazardous for people to walk along and especially when there are groups such as ramblers that will take to actively crossing this sort of land and if they were to injure themselves then it could be down to you as the owner of the land to pay if they are to hold you liable.

If you own a field that is suitable for the grazing of livestock then you will need undeveloped pasture insurance. Your field could be a mixture of grass, plants, bushes and herbage and has not be previously developed.

Undeveloped pasture can be a hazard for trips and falls. You could be especially at risk if there is a public right of access to your land.
