Steel Fabricator Insurance

Steel Fabricators and Welders Insurance

Cover arranged for steel fabricators and welders whether premises based, site based or mobile, correct cover with competitive premiums​.

Arranged by Primo

Insurance for UK Businesses

Welding and Steel Fabrication are both highly skilled trades that require very exacting levels of insurance cover. At Primo plc we understand the subtle nature of differences in the machinery used, working environments and the products produced by various types of metal workers and welders.

As well as steel fabricators we are able to arrange insurance for steel installers, especially those that work with architectural steel. Many welders very rarely ever work with steel but instead work with alloys in this instance a steel fabricators insurance policy is not the right answer and so our brokers will tailor the cover to suit.

  • Understanding Your Business

    A welder, who spends the majority of his time on site working as a subcontractor, needs different cover to that of a welder that operates out of a workshop. Contractors who work out of a workshop may have a large amount of tools, machinery and equipment not to mention material stocks, similar in levels to that of a steel fabricator which need to be covered.

    We choose specific underwriters who are able to offer the correct steel fabricators insurance cover requirements for your business that is our main priority when we look at making sure the premium is as competitive as we can obtain, cover first, cost second.

    We have access to specialist markets that are able to insure structural steelworkers as well as non-structural steelworkers in the UK and all cover is provided by A-rated insurers.
