Roofers & Scaffolders

These occupations involve regular working at height, and roofers work could also extend to include the use of heat, so these two elements are particularly prone to risks…

Get in touch

You run a high risk business that could involve employees falling from height or tools and materials causing bodily injury or property damage. So it’s good practice to ensure that you, your employees, your customers and their properties, are properly protected should something go wrong.

Our roofing contractor insurance is suitable for contractors who specialise across a wide range of roofing areas such as slating and tiling, flat and felt roofing, industrial sheeting and cladding. It can also provide cover for heritage roofing, lead, zinc and copper roofing as well as green roofing and waterproof coatings.

Faisal Ravat, Managing Director, E&S Motors Ltd

"We transferred our insurance to Adler Fairways Insurance Brokers in 2023, when they offered us a much more complete and competitive premium than our current brokers. The team took the time to understand our business and future needs; we have continued to receive excellent service from them, and have been impressed with their care, and attention to detail. What is key for our business is the advice that is given when needed, and the robust claims management internally which has helped manage our premiums for a traditionally difficult to insure niche sector of the motor trade." E&S Motors

Gerald Doble, Director, G A Doble

"The Adler Fairways team has looked after our insurance portfolio for several years now and have provided excellent service throughout. Our annual renewal reviews are always conducted in good time ahead of renewal with all our questions answered and we are extremely impressed with the renewal proposals received. Prior to moving our business to Adler Fairways, we had not received a proper review for several years. The team were instrumental in making sure our insurance was arranged on the correct basis and have also been able to save us money on our premiums over the years. It is clear that they have our best interests at heart, both from an insurance cover and premium perspective. Whenever we have a query or need to make a change to our policies, it is dealt with efficiently and professionally. We can’t fault them on their reliability and excellent personal service".
