HeightSure

Specialist cover for rope access and height-based trades
Working at height comes with its own set of challenges and risks.

Rope access companies, steeplejacks, glazing and cladding contractors, and other trades operating on high structures need insurance that matches the unique demands of their work. Standard policies rarely cover the full scope of exposures at altitude – that’s where HeightSure comes in.

Designed exclusively for businesses operating at height, this scheme provides unlimited height and depth coverage as standard, ensuring you can focus on the job safely while we handle the risk.
