What is...
window cleaning insurance?
Nothing is worse than cracking a window when doing a job, but it can still happen even if you have the best skills and equipment.
Using harsh chemicals and working from a height can also cause accidents or damage. That’s why it’s best to have your back covered with window cleaning insurance should the worst ever happen.
Whether you are self-employed or have a window cleaning business, insurance can help when things go wrong, helps provides a financial safety net, and gives peace of mind as you go about your jobs.
Why do window cleaners need insurance?
The nature of window cleaning comes with risks for you and your clients, so it’s important you have the right cover in place. Some possible pitfalls include:
- When cleaning, you accidentally break a client’s window
- You fall from a height and injure yourself while working
- An employee gets injured on the job
- Chemicals you use cause permanent damage
- A fire causes material damage and disrupts your business operations
You might find some of your clients insist on you having the right insurance before working with you, if you’re self-employed or contracted. Having the right cover in place can be essential for securing work.
What insurance do window cleaners need?
Policies will vary per provider, and terms and conditions apply, so always check the small print in your policy wording to see what’s included and excluded. Your insurance package could include:
Public liability insurance
In case you injure someone or damage something while providing your services
Employers’ liability insurance
In case an employee gets ill or injured because of the work they do for you. A legal requirement if you have employees.
Tool or machinery insurance
Protects against the cost of damaged, lost or stolen window cleaning tools and equipment.
How much does window cleaner’s insurance cost?
This really depends on your circumstances. The costs vary depending on the size of your window cleaning business, where it’s located, your claims history and the policies you take out.

Do you need insurance if you’re a self-employed?
If you are carrying out cleaning as a business activity then you should ensure you have the right insurance in place.
Public liability insurance is key to help protect yourself and your business if you have to pay compensation after a claim against you.
Some clients may also refuse to work with you if you don’t have the right insurance. You might even be asked to show proof of public liability insurance before securing new work.
