It has come to that time of year again when the Public Liability needs renewing, I have been told that we are fine for general cleaning and carpet cleaning but the insurer has stopped the scheme for pressure washing, We were paying around £700 a year as a sole operator.
I have had a quote from Suttons specialist risks which runs out at £1575.00 which is a bit of a jump as you can see.
My broker has said that apart from who I was covered with and who I have recieved a quote from they are at a loss who they can contact, pity I dont have the money to set up my own insurance company eh!!!
I wonder if any of you good ladies and gentlemen out there could give me some idea of who you are covered with, as I need to be covered for general cleaning, carpet cleaning and pressure washing
many thanks

Hi Julian
Darwin Clayton or Camberford Law both specialise in the cleaning industry. Darwin Clayton use a company called NIC and I am currently insured with them.
Sorry haven't got web address or phone number but I am sure you will find both with a search, worth a try.

Hi Julian,
I pay £800 a yr . This includes liability which covers builders cleans including the pressure washing of footpahs and driveways, carpet and general cleaning. It also covers my machinery which i use for the carpet cleaning side , 2 extraction machines and a buffer. It also includes my accident and sickness cover of £250-00 a week if i cant work due to accident or illness..
N.F.U. is the company , but i have been with them a few years so i dont know what they are like with new businesses.. Best of luck
