Public Liability
« on: April 24, 2008, 10:35:02 pm »
Hi,i have public liability insurance and every company ive been with dont actually cover you for the property you are working on. For example if you drop your squeegee on the glass of the conservatory roof your not covered,whereas if the wind blows your ladder over and falls on some old dear you are. I dont understand this. Any comments would be good,i think you can get insurance that will cover you but is about 10 times more expensive than the basic.

Your spot on theres not many companys who cover you for item your working on, and they only tell you this when you ask, Aliied Insurance cover you for this but your looking at £235 for £2 million p/l. I phoned them the other day as need mine doing but they where ment to get back to me but no luck yet.

MY P/L insurance needed renewing last wek. Previously I was with Groupama and paid £87.00 a year.

I decided to get a quote which would include the glass I am working on and also for flat roofs.

The policy was £118.00 with £250.00 excess.

I went for that.

I used Simply Business and am a sole trader.

I'm covered for the property I'm working on, just not covered for the window I'm working on. Got it from A-plan, £79:90 odd for the year. Covered for £2000,000
