No, but if you have any employees having Employers’ Liability Insurance is a legal requirement.

This is specialist, potentially dangerous work, and while a Tradesmen Insurance policy or a contract all works policy will give you some protection, it won’t necessarily cover you against things like Basement Insurance guarantee or superstructure insurance.

That depends on things like the size of your business, the size of projects you work on, where they are, and whether you have any employees.
