Title: Pressure washing insurance
Post by: colin jones on June 25, 2008, 08:41:20 pm
Hi
My business is contract cleaning & carpet cleaning, and i am wanting to add pressure washing to my services offered.
Enquired about my PL policy (HSBC) and they say that to add pressure washing to my current policy, which already  includes treatment risk, would cost over £1000.00 +
Where do all you guys who pressure wash drives etc get your PL polices from, and are the premiums as high as the one I've been quoted?

Cheers
Colin

My insurance for carpet cleaning and pressure washing is about £1500 a year.
This includes £5m public liability, employers liability, all my kit, my van and hire of plant up to £10k.

I am surprised that some do not have their kit insured, don't let the gypos know or you might be out of business!!!
