Hiscox policy (Gleaming) I don't think can be beaten for the amount of cover you get.

I use a broker called Blackfriars. £74 a year for £1m cover.
And yes they cover the property you're working on, unlike some that I've heard of  ???

As they say if it's not in black & white then you are not covered for that activity. That to be honest was my biggest beef with other so say brokers as was a very painful proccess trying to get a quote to include the proper cover I wanted covering the activities I wanted to do.
