Insurance & Liability Overview for Gardening Mortlake

Our primary insurance is comprehensive public liability insurance that protects clients against accidental injury or property damage caused during the course of our work. As an experienced and fully insured garden contractor, Gardening Mortlake carries policies designed for garden maintenance, landscaping and light tree work. We maintain cover levels appropriate to the scale and complexity of each job and can explain the scope of cover, including legal defence, third party injury and third party property damage. Choosing an insured gardening company means you are not exposed to avoidable risk if an accident happens while we are on site.

What an Insured Gardening Service Includes

Our safety strategy goes beyond holding a policy. We invest in staff training, personal protective equipment and continual risk assessment so our insured garden maintenance service remains reliable and safe. Team members receive role-specific instruction that covers safe tool operation, manual handling, hazardous materials awareness and how to recognise site-specific hazards. Training records are maintained for audit and review, and we prioritise refresher training for all operatives to reflect changes in best practice or legislation.

Every job follows a structured risk assessment process before work starts. Core steps include:

• Site survey: identifying hazards such as uneven ground, buried services, hazardous plants and access limitations.
• Risk evaluation: assessing the likelihood and severity of potential incidents and determining control measures.
• Control planning: implementing measures such as barricades, signage and safe working zones.
• Documentation: producing a simple, client-facing record of key risks and agreed precautions.
• Review: monitoring effectiveness during the job and adjusting controls as necessary.

Staff Training, PPE and Safe Systems of Work

We use a layered approach to safety that starts with people. All staff are DBS-checked where relevant, fully inducted and trained for the tasks they perform. Training topics include manual handling, chemical safety for fertilisers and pesticides, the safe use of power tools and emergency first aid. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is provided to all team members and includes items such as protective gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, hearing protection and safety footwear. Where necessary we supply respirators for dusty tasks or when applying certain treatments. PPE policies are enforced on site and replaced regularly to maintain effectiveness.

Equipment maintenance is integral to safety. Our fleet of mowers, chainsaws and powered tools is inspected and serviced on a scheduled basis, and any damaged equipment is removed from service until repaired. Safe tool-check procedures are part of every pre-start routine and recorded for accountability. For larger or higher-risk tasks, we deploy two-person teams or specialist contractors who work to agreed safety plans to reduce exposure to hazards.

Incident management and reporting are taken seriously. In the unlikely event of an accident, our operatives follow a clear emergency response: attend to the injured, secure the scene, notify emergency services if required, and inform the client. All incidents are logged, investigated and used to improve procedures and training. For clients, this means the insured garden company you hire not only has cover but also practical systems to prevent recurrence.

We understand clients need assurance that the team working in their garden is competent, insured and prepared. That is why Gardening Mortlake emphasises written safety documentation, insurance certificates appropriate to the work, and visible evidence of training and PPE use on site. Our approach delivers peace of mind: an insured garden maintenance provider with demonstrable safety systems, thorough risk assessment procedures and a well-trained workforce.
