Arbor & Forestry Insurance
How Can We Help
Arboricultural insurance can involve public liability, employers liability, tools and equipment, plant, commercial vehicles, property, business interruption and professional risks. The right combination depends on your work, turnover, employees, subcontractors, equipment and contracts. We can organise those details and identify areas that may need particular attention, such as work at height, tree felling, emergency callouts or operations near roads and utilities. If you use specialist vehicles or machinery, we can help map how those assets are used and where they are kept. Our role is to make the insurance process easier to navigate, with information and discussions suited to your business.

Your Questions, Answered
Tree surgeons and arborists can face several risks because work often takes place at height, around machinery, vehicles, buildings, roads and members of the public. Insurance requirements may include public liability, employers liability, tools and equipment, commercial vehicles and business interruption, depending on the operation. A contractor carrying out tree removal at domestic properties may have different requirements from a company undertaking commercial or forestry projects. We can discuss your activities, equipment, workforce and contracts, then structure the details for insurance consideration. Policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits should be reviewed before deciding whether an arrangement suits your circumstances.
Public liability insurance is often considered by arboricultural businesses because tree work can involve property, vehicles, pedestrians and other third parties. For example, a falling branch, damaged fence or accidental contact with property could create a liability issue. The appropriate arrangements depend on your activities, contract requirements and the way work is carried out. We can map your jobs and discuss suitable insurance solutions, including any requirements requested by commercial clients or contractors. It is important to check policy wording, exclusions, limits and conditions, particularly where work involves roads, utilities, high-risk locations or activities outside the description originally presented to insurers.
Yes, tools and equipment can form an important part of an arborist’s insurance requirements. Chainsaws, chippers, stump grinders, climbing equipment, trailers and specialist machinery can represent significant business assets, while some items may be transported between sites. The appropriate arrangements depend on what you own, hire or lease, where equipment is stored and how it is used. We can organise an inventory of key items and help identify relevant questions for insurers. You should also check whether equipment is covered while in transit, overnight, on site or when left in vehicles, as policy conditions and exclusions can vary between arrangements.
If you employ climbers, grounds people, drivers or office teammates, employers liability insurance is an important consideration for your business. Your responsibilities can also extend to subcontractors, depending on their working arrangements and status. We can discuss how your workforce is structured and help identify the insurance requirements that may apply. For example, a business using regular subcontracted climbers may need to consider how those relationships are treated under its policy arrangements. Accurate information about employees, subcontractors, activities and working practices is important when arranging insurance. Always review the policy wording and legal requirements applicable to your specific circumstances in practice.
