Design and Construct Professional Indemnity
Report
Construction Professional Indemnity, also known as Design and Construct Professional Indemnity, is designed to protect contractors and sub contracted specialists, such as electrical engineers or cladding contractors for allegations relating to errors in their work or incorrect design.
Contractors and engineers are all used to buying Public and Employers Liability Insurance but over the last ten years, more and more contractors are being asked to hold Professional Indemnity Insurance as part of a contract or tendering process. We can help arrange the right cover for your contract or tender.
Not all contractors will carry out design work, which is why we can appreciate the lack of understanding for its necessity. As a result, it is often common that a contractor will not want to buy the insurance as it can feel like another cost eating into the profitability yof a project! We help keep the costs low without compromising on cover.
On larger builds the principle contractor may provide the design or contract the services of an architect or engineer. But that doesn’t mean that a builder or air conditioning engineer is off the hook, and shouldn’t hold Professional Indemnity to cover themselves for their involvement in a design and build contract.

Property Owners Insurance
Report
As experts in Property Owners Insurance otherwise known as Landlords Liability insurance we find it surprising that there are no legal obligations for a Landlord to hold specific insurance contracts however many councils, banks or management agencies will ask for proof of Property Owners Liability and Buildings Insurance if you have purchased using a mortgage.
There seems to be some confusion when it comes to Property Owners’ Liability. It is sometimes referred to using a variety of different terms including:
Public Liability
Landlords’ Liability
Landlords’ Public Liability
Landlords’ Indemnity cover
As a property owner, you are responsible for ensuring that your property is well maintained and does not present unnecessary risks of injury to tenants, visitors to the premises or members of the public outside of the building.
Property Owners Insurance protects you against these risks and extends to cover Property Damage protecting you against the worst-case scenarios such as Escape of Water, Fire, Subsidence and Flooding to name a few.
Whether you have a buy-to-let property, a commercial let property, or a portfolio of properties, we can provide a tailored policy to protect against Damage and Legal liability you may incur as a Property Owner. With optional cover for Loss of Rent, Landlord Contents, Malicious Damage, Employers Liability and Rent Guarantee, we can ensure peace of mind that you are covered for all eventualities.

Clarke Williams has been a God Send this past year. As residences of a small apartment block we decided to form a RTM and desperately needed help and support in finding the correct building insurance, especially as one of our apartments is a holiday let. Oliver Boatwright-Smith was knowledgeable, supportive and effortlessly professional and kind through the entire process.
We are extremely pleased with the level of cover and the premium Oliver was able to get for us. A few short months later and unfortunately we had to make a claim due to escape of water in one of the properties. As the resident of the property in question has health conditions this made assessment of the damage and completion of works rather tricky. Oliver was consistently marvellous in supporting the resident, helping to guide them and us through what was for us an unknown process.
Without all of his help we would not of known or understood our rights or been able to reach an appropriate settlement while ensuring we are still able to get a decent premium when we renew later this year. Insurance is necessary, it cannot be avoided but to find a company and an employee within that company who fully meets and exceeds our needs and expectations is priceless.

As a fast growing mutli-disciplined contractor we were looking for a broker whom suited our needs, after sifting through many we knew straight away that Clarke Williams were the ones for us. The care and level of service is fantastic and most importantly they are not commercially opportunistic - they see the value in maintaining long standing relationships. We have just completed our insurance renewal and are once again extremely happy. Truly deserve 5 stars. Tommy Lunt Operations Director Rapid Response Telecoms Ltd

Excellent - really helpful, knowledgeable and friendly team. Just had to increase my PI as required by a client on a Friday afternoon for a Monday morning start - Ashley arranged everything over the phone and had the paperwork to me within 15 minutes. Daisy looks after renewals - always well ahead of time so plenty of warning. First class service.

I have used Clarke Williams services for the last 3 years, great company to work with and they genuinely understand my business and my needs, both Scott and Daisy are very knowledgeable and helpful. There turn around time again is good, unlike some places I always get the impression they actually try and get me the best prices they can, you always get to speak to the same person regarding your account so none of this holding on while they look you up, they already know. Highly recommended, to the point that my partner is starting her own business and will be using these guys for insurance.

Clarke Williams provided brilliant advice and service not only saving me money but highlighting several areas where I had no insurance and could have been in trouble in the event of a claim. Very friendly and as they were local I arranged for them to visit my home and discuss my insurances in comfort.
