Glazing work comes with risks that generic business insurance doesn't always cover properly. Transporting glass, working at heights, installing on client sites, and the value of your tools and equipment all need to be factored into your policy. We're a full-service insurance brokerage that works with trades businesses across Australia, and we can help you find cover that actually fits how you work.

RISK ARCHITECTURE

What we typically cover for glaziers

Public liability protects you if your work causes injury or property damage. A pane shatters and injures someone, or you damage a client's property during installation. This is usually the first thing clients or builders ask for.

Covers the cost of replacing your tools if they're stolen, lost, or damaged. For glaziers, this often includes suction lifters, glass cutters, and other gear that's expensive to replace.

Covers your vehicle and the glass you're transporting. Standard car insurance won't cover you if you're using the vehicle for work, and it definitely won't cover stock in transit.

Helps replace lost income if something like a fire or storm stops you from working.

Provides a weekly benefit if you're injured or sick and can't work. Sole traders especially should consider this.

Most glaziers need a business pack that bundles these key covers together to satisfy site requirements and protect their assets.

Why use a broker?

You can buy insurance direct, but a broker can help you avoid gaps in cover you might not spot yourself. We work with insurers like Hollard, CGU, Vero, QBE, Allianz, Zurich, and Chubb to find a policy that matches what you actually do, not just a generic trades pack.

If you've been knocked back elsewhere or you're not sure what cover you need, we can walk you through it.

KNOWLEDGE BASE

FAQs

If you work on client sites or interact with the public, yes. Most builders and commercial clients will require you to hold at least $10 million in public liability before you can step on site. Even if it's not required, one liability claim could cost more than your business can handle.
Only if you have stock in transit or goods in transit cover included in your policy. Standard business packs don't always include this, so check with us if transport is a big part of your work.
You can still get cover, but you'll need to declare that tools or stock are stored at your home address. Some policies have limits on home-based storage, so it's worth checking the wording.
Yes. If your business grows, you take on staff, or you start doing different types of work, we can adjust your policy to match.
Sole traders face the same risks as larger businesses, sometimes more, because you don't have a team or cash reserves to fall back on. Public liability, tools cover, and personal accident insurance are worth considering at minimum.
