Scaffolders Insurance
On the rare occasion a rogue tool goes over the edge, or the scaffolding fails, it can have damaging consequences. If the scaffolding destroys property your business is financially liable. If it falls and injures someone, again your business is liable.
It is important that you operate as safely as is possible to protect people and property. If the worst happens you will need scaffolders insurance in place. You also need to make sure that you are on a specialist scaffolders insurance policy.
You do not buy the cheapest tools. Do not buy the cheapest insurance. Low end generic scaffolders insurance products tend to have many ‘get out’ clauses. They may not worth the paper they are written on.
It is important to get the right balance of value and protection. The right policy will financially protect you should the worst happen. Contact Edison Ives Insurance Solutions today. Or complete our quotation form below.

Scaffolders Beware!
People slip & trip
If a member of the public hurts themselves on your scaffolding it may lead to a public liability insurance claim. If someone working for you slips and hurts themselves, and they tries to obtain compensation, that will come under your Employers Liability scaffolders insurance.
You will be fined if you do not have Employers Liability insurance
It is important that your employees are protected. Employers Liability insurance is mandatory for all businesses that have employees, subcontractors, volunteers or anyone working under their direction. You can be fined £2,500 a day for every day you do not have this insurance in place.

I would be happy to use again and recommend
I was referred to Edison Ives by the British Insurance Brokers Association and Tony was able to find an insurer that reduced my landlord cover from over £1300 to £495. I was over the moon and Tony made it all easy and straightforward. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
As leaseholders we took the rights to manage our own flats. Not knowing anything about what needs to be done, Edison Ives (Tony) was of very good advice and guidance in taking out a building insurance for our flats. Clearly the personalised and trustworthy approach made us decide to work with them (as well as the money they made us save). I would highly recommend them to anyone taking on their rights to manage! Thanks.
I had a lot of problems trying to insure my rental new build flat, these guys were very courteous and solved the problem for me at a good price.
I found Edison Ives while searching for home insurance which would provide cover for a house which shares the property with a home-based boarding kennel business. Tony was able to find me a very competitive package, and walked me through the whole process step by step. Tony could not have done more to help me, and for a new-start business his help and advice was invaluable. Absolutely Five Star!
Customer service exceptional. Thanks to Edison Ives we got a competitive price for our block of flats insurance. Following that we had a claim and Ged helped us with this from start to finish. I would highly recommend.
Really very helpful. After having a claim in 2016, our premiums were extremely high. Edison Ives have found us a higher policy at a cheaper rate that our previous insurers.
Ged gave me comprehensive advice in simple English and I now feel reassured that I have the right cover at the right price. He understands me and my business and is a joy to deal with. Who knew insurance could be fun?!
Very easy to deal with and very professional. So much better than dealing with the massive impersonal call centres, and Edison Ives still came back with a better premium. As with all insurance, it's not the buying but the claims process that's important. I get the feeling that should a claim be necessary they will do everything possible to support.
As the Director and owner of Edmonds Recruitment, it was essential to me to be able to find a trusted insurance partner to help me find the right Business Insurance that worked for me and my industry. I highly recommend using Edison Ives and specifically Tony Suryavansi. He will take the time to listen and answer any questions you may have about your policy and should you need him in the future, Tony makes himself readily available for ongoing advice.
Excellent service. They saved me 100s of pounds on my building insurance policy!
I was really impressed with Edison Ives. They bent over backwards to arrange our business insurance. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were a pleasure to deal with.
I can highly recommend Edison Ives. They have got me a really good price on my restaurant insurance and been really helpful throughout. Thanks a lot, I'll be moving all my insurance to them this year.
I find insurance documents long, complex and full of jargon. Thankfully Edison Ives' picked out the key points and communicated them clearly.
I had been with my broker for a number of years and I never realised I was paying more than I needed to. Edison Ives went through my existing policy, highlighted that I was under insured, and then they managed to source a new package that provided a lot more cover at a similar price.
