In 2005 Lycetts acquired the specialist arboricultural insurer, Algarve which was subsequently rebranded as Lycetts. We are therefore able to offer our clients expert advice in arranging insurance solutions for arboriculturalists, foresters, consultants and woodland owners.

We offer a comprehensive range of products and services for Arboriculturalists and Foresters tailor-made to meet all their insurance needs. These might include cover for the following risks: employers and public/products liability, professional indemnity, All Risks on Equipment, hired in plant, personal accident, commercial legal expenses and directors and officers' liability.

With many years' experience insuring forestry harvesting, forwarding and other equipment, cover is available for all risks of loss or damage including fire, inspection to comply with statutory requirements and variable excess levels for fire and other damage. Such cover can be arranged for machines of all ages.

Our panel of insurers offers bespoke policies for consultants engaged in various activities such as: tree hazard reports, LOLER inspections, woodland management, "mortgage" reports, training, expert witness and landscape design.

Facilities are available offering a wide range of cover for woodland owners, which can include standing timber, fire, lightning, aircraft and explosion, windthrow and property owners (third party) liability.

Unlike common market practice which rates on the number of woodlands owned, our tailor-made policies take into consideration the overall hectareage, yield class, geographical location and value of timber, ensuring the price paid reflects the risk exposure.
