Working in the building and engineering services sector exposes your business to distinct risks that are impossible to protect against without the advice of a trusted insurance partner.

As the work your employees carry out involves installing and maintaining crucial utilities such as heating, power, and lighting, it is vital that your business has the appropriate insurance cover in place. Due to the diverse risks that your business is exposed to, it can be necessary to work with an insurance broker who specialises in your industry, if not, you could be at risk of huge losses if something goes wrong.

At Specialist Risk, we take the time to understand the risks your business faces before we use our knowledge and well-established relationships in the market to arrange insurance. We are experts in arranging insurance solutions and specialise in a number of niche industry segments, including building and engineering services.
