Insurance cover for machines/tools whilst recovering from injuries

[dangb93]

Evening all

As per title I’ve got a fair bit of kit which is not being used at the moment due to me recovering from a serious injury (see thread “To all stump grinder operators “)

I was using Trust insurance. I’m up for renewal, and because I’m not taking out liability insurance they won’t cover my kit anymore. 
Does anyone have a good insurance company they can recommend that would insure plant/machinery/tools in storage, without having to have liability insurance as well?

I thought I’d ask on here before I started the almost endless task of contacting multitudes of insurance companies…

thanks

I'm pretty sure NFU would do it. Can't remember if you have to join up though. I have always been delighted with them. Some years ago one of the staff in the local office took the trouble to ring me to tell me that if I upgraded from Countryside membership to full Farmer and Grower level it would more than pay for itself in discount on  our insurance for house, contents, two cars, and all my business vehicle/mewp/chipper/trailer cover. Couple of weeks ago I ordered a new Hilux and got 13 per cent off due to NFU membership. Full membership costs me just under £240 a year.

I hope your recovery is going well. Best wishes.

NFU are definitely worth a shout.

JCB insurance should also do it, I have my loader insured with them on a standalone policy.
