Building Services
Building services contractors install the systems a building depends on, and a fault in one can cause damage well beyond the item itself. An escape of water floods the floors below, an electrical fault starts a fire, and a sprinkler or door system that fails to operate may lead to an argument about whether the installation was to standard.
Many of these trades also design, commission or certify what they install, which brings a professional indemnity exposure that a standard public liability policy may not answer. Third-party certification schemes, competent person registration and the standards you work to are often among the first things an insurer will ask about.
