Fully Insured Fencing Contractors Sydney

NSW fencing contractors are required to hold workers compensation insurance for all employees under the Workers Compensation Act 1987. While public liability insurance is not legally mandated for all trades, it is a practical necessity and is required by most councils, strata managers and commercial clients. Residential building work above a competitive price (including fencing) also requires a Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) certificate for owner-occupied properties under the Home Building Act 1989.

Most councils and commercial clients require a minimum of a competitive price million public liability cover. We hold a competitive price million public liability insurance to ensure our clients are protected regardless of project scale. Certificates of currency are available on request and are routinely supplied to builders, strata managers and property developers.

The HBCF (formerly known as the Home Warranty Insurance Scheme) is required in NSW for residential building contracts over a competitive price including labour and materials. For fencing work specifically, the a competitive price threshold means most standard residential fencing jobs do not require HBCF cover. However, for large projects exceeding this amount, we provide the required HBCF certificate before commencement.

Yes. We provide a current Certificate of Currency for both our public liability and workers compensation policies before commencing any job. For commercial clients or government contracts, we can also provide our policy schedule, excess amounts and insurer details. We update our insurance annually and maintain continuous cover.

If an uninsured fencing contractor damages your property, injures a worker on your site, or causes damage to a neighbour's property, you as the homeowner may be liable for the resulting costs. Using an insured, licensed contractor protects you from unexpected financial exposure. Always ask for a Certificate of Currency before work begins.
