HSBC appear to be very cheap, and if youre in business for 2 years or more, you get 5% discount....my premium was £242...for public liability & treatment risk...If you want van contents too, thats £200 more.You can pay by instalments too ...Theyre in Bournemouth, Dorset...and their number is:    01202 455622...hope this helps.

Hi Scot,

With HSBC have you got  tools and equipment included with P/ liability and treatment risk.

The reason I ask is that the insurance company that I have been with for the past 15 years with my truckmount appeared to be more expensive than HSBC until I phoned them and they were going to be almost £100 dearer.

Also is your insurance for a truckmount and do you have a separate policy for your van.

Regards Tony

McGregor Lloyd, 0121 7060616, offer cover for your van and truckmount together. I don't think you would get your truckmount covered under the HSBC policy.
You need:
Public Liability
Treatment Risk (for items being worked on)
Vehicle Insurance
Equipment Insurance

your paying for extra cover you don't need proably ! have you really started of with £12000 of equiptment & landed contracts in houses or offices worth £5mil ? also if upped excess to £250 or £500 would bring it down to something sencible
