Scaffolding Insurance for working at height, equipment and Contractors All Risks.
At Capital Corporate Risks, we arrange specialist insurance for scaffolding contractors across Dartford, Kent and the UK. Scaffolding is one of the most exposed trades on any construction project — work at height, falling materials, equipment values spread across sites, and a scaffold structure itself in progress — and a generic commercial wording rarely responds well to all of those at once. We arrange cover that reflects how scaffolding contractors actually operate, with high-limit liability, unrestricted height cover, equipment protection and contractors all risks structured to main-contractor requirements.
As a Dartford-based specialist broker recognised by the Scaffolding Association, we work with single-crew scaffolders through to multi-site contractors, with cover that scales as your operation grows.
We provide bespoke policy cover for the specific exposures that define a scaffolding operation, from light access scaffolds through to complex multi-level structures. Generic commercial wordings routinely exclude or restrict the most exposed parts of the work. Our packages are built specifically for:
High-limit cover for height-work, falling-object and adjoining-property risk on scaffolding sites.
Cover for high-rise, complex and multi-level scaffolds where standard policies impose height limits.
Cover for boards, tubes, fittings and system components against theft, loss and damage on site.
All-risks cover for the scaffold structure during erection, use and dismantling on contract works.
Cover for hired-in plant, tools and access equipment used on scaffold projects across your sites.
Our scaffolding packages are structured around the cover your main-contractor contracts genuinely require. Indemnity limits are set with insurers who understand work at height, equipment values and the contractual demands of principal contractors on commercial scaffold projects.
Scaffolding exposures sit outside what a generic commercial wording will respond to. The specifics matter, and we make sure your policy answers them.
Scaffolding is one of the most closely regulated trades in UK construction. We make sure your cover sits alongside the statutory framework you already work to, with technical understanding of your duties under the Health and Safety Executive (HSE):
Our client journey moves from risk discovery to properly structured cover, then into active support when your business needs help.
A detailed review of your operation — yard, sites, contracts, workforce, equipment and exposures.
We approach specialist insurers who understand scaffolding risk, not general panels with generic wordings.
Your cover is placed with the right insurer at the right terms — no shortcuts and no gaps.
Questions during the policy year are handled directly by your account manager, not a call centre.
When you need to claim, your dedicated Claims Manager manages the process from notification to settlement.
“Unrestricted height cover was the dealbreaker our old broker couldn’t manage. CCR placed it within a week, with proper equipment and Contractors All Risks cover. Being recognised by the Scaffolding Association gave us confidence too.”
Scaffolding clients frequently need adjacent cover across height-work, demolition and groundworks exposures. Explore our dedicated insurance frameworks for:
Height and hot-works cover for flat, pitched, industrial and commercial roofing contractors.
Combined liability for trades involving asbestos, height, depth or hazardous environments.
Specialist protection for soft-strip, structural removal and high-hazard demolition exposures.
Cover for excavation, piling, underpinning and reinforced-concrete frame contractors.
Practical commercial cover for contractors, subcontractors and multi-trade businesses.
With proper sector knowledge, we ensure your policy is accurately rated and the right wordings are in place for the specific scaffolding work you carry out — including unrestricted height and adjoining-property risk — reducing the risk of cover being challenged when a claim is made. Should you need to make a claim, your Claims Manager will provide one-to-one support for a fair and efficient resolution.
We manage your claims directly and conduct quarterly review processes, ensuring that as your business evolves — new sites, new equipment, new contracts — your coverage adapts alongside it.
It is a specialist commercial insurance package designed for scaffolding contractors, combining high-limit public and employers' liability, unrestricted height cover, scaffold board and equipment cover, contractors all risks and hired-in plant in a single, contract-ready policy.
Yes. Unrestricted height insurance is core to what we arrange for scaffolders — high-rise, complex and multi-level structures are covered without the height carve-out that standard policies routinely impose.
Yes. We arrange equipment cover for boards, tubes, fittings and system components against theft, loss and damage, with limits set to real replacement values across your sites and hire fleets.
Insurers, HSE inspectors and main contractors all reference the NASC technical guidance — TG20:21 for tube and fitting scaffolds and TG30:24 for system scaffolds — when judging compliance. We make sure your cover and your compliance evidence work together.
Contractors All Risks covers the scaffold structure itself during erection, use and dismantling, in addition to the liability cover that protects you against third-party injury and damage to other property.
