The package is available to members of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), as well as those registered as a CompetentRoofer.
ECIC said the scheme is suitable for contractors who specialise in roofing disciplines such as pitched and heritage roofing, green roofing and waterproof coatings.
Chief underwriting officer and deputy managing director at ECIC, Richard Forrest Smith, said: "This product has been developed specifically for the roofing trade and our underwriters have ensured the wording of the policy is tailored to the profession's needs."
He continued: "This type of work requires contractors to have a real understanding of all the risks involved and ensure they have the right cover for the work they will be carrying out. The ECIC cover can also be extended to accommodate working at a greater height level than most schemes."
Ray Horwood, NFRC chief executive, added: "NFRC has worked closely with ECIC for many years. Previously only full NFRC members were able to access the NFRC Insurance Scheme. We have now widened access under the scheme to additionally include those registered as a CompetentRoofer."
