Carpenters & Life Insurance
Life insurance for carpenters and joiners will be available at standard terms with most insurance providers within the UK.
If you work at significant heights on a regular basis you will need to inform the insurer of this so that they are fully aware of your occupational hazards before offering cover.
Your occupation will most likely have an influence upon options for income protection and we detail this later on this page.
Carpenters & Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover pays out a cash lump sum of money, if you are diagnosed with a medical condition that is listed in the insurer’s claims set e.g. cancer, heart attack, stroke.
Critical illness cover for carpenters is available at normal terms with most insurance providers.
Carpenters & Income Protection
Income protection pays you a replacement of your monthly income, if you are unable to work due to ill health.
Income protection for carpenters is available with a few insurance providers, with deferment periods of 1 day, 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 weeks, 26 weeks and 52 weeks. The deferment period is the amount of time you would need to wait for a claim to be paid should you be unable to work. The choice of deferment will be based upon your employment benefits, budget for the monthly policy premiums and any savings you have.
There are some specific questions that we will ask you about your work to find the right insurer for you:
- How many hours do you work each week?
- How much of your working week is manual, admin or supervisory tasks?
- Do you need to travel outside of the UK for your work?
- Have you had any time off work in the last couple of years due to ill health or injury?
Our advisers are happy to help discuss the options with you to ensure that you get the right policy for your needs.
You should aim for your policy to have an own occupation definition in regards to claim payments. An own occupation definition will mean that should you be unable to work as a carpenter that your claim will be paid. Other income protection policy definitions will assess your ability to perform similar or any occupation at all, making it more difficult to claim as you would need to be more ill in order to fulfil the claim criteria.
Our financial advisers will place your income protection application with the insurer that is most likely to offer you an own occupation definition and the best terms that are available to you.
