Public Liability Insurance for Plumbers
One leak behind a wall or a burst line in a finished fit-out can become a serious water-damage claim. That's the risk plumbers carry on every job. Simple Cover arranges public liability for plumbers and gasfitters around exactly that exposure, with our licensed team.

What plumbers need covered
Water Damage
A plumber's biggest claim: a leak, burst pipe or failed fitting that damages a building or its contents, sometimes weeks after you've left. Public liability is the cover that responds, and because water claims can be large, the limit needs to match the buildings you work in.
Gas & Hot Works
Gasfitting and hot works carry extra risk and must be disclosed to the insurer, or a claim can be knocked back later. Tell us about your gas-licence work so it's covered specifically, not quietly excluded.
The Limit Builders Require
Builders and principal contractors typically require $10M or $20M in public liability and a certificate of currency before rough-in starts. We arrange the limit your contracts actually specify.
Personal Accident & Illness
Plumbing is hard on the body. If injury or illness keeps you off the tools, personal accident cover can provide financial support if you're unable to work. Tick yes on the form and we price it alongside your liability.
Apprentices & Crews
Put on an apprentice or a second plumber and your obligations change. Flag your team setup on the follow-up so cover, including your state's workers requirements, lines up with how you operate.
Cover, limits and examples shown are general in nature and subject to eligibility, underwriting and the terms of the issued policy.
