Public liability and employers liability 5M plus.

I am needing these shortly for a few jobs. 
 

Saw and van set up, will be 'employing' a self employed cutter like myself to clear forest roads of wind blow and small fell to waste jobs and hopefully get more work off the back of it. 
 

Will be going out working for the main forest management contractors. 
 

Where is best to get this type of insurance?

And if anyone else is the same kind of set up, how much am I looking to roughly pay for these?

 

Thanks again

Trust and arborisk will be your big two. I think trust do a discount if your a FCA member.  The employers is the expensive bit. I'm with arborisk and I have pl el and tools all with them.

I'm with Trust, fee depends on turnover of what you're doing so you can discuss with them how much of this you'll be doing in a year. I would guess 500-1000 for combined policy, not sure if they go lower because you're not at height or higher because you're in forestry industry.

Not long off the phone. 5 mill public and 10 mill employers. 1000 a year, not that bad actually.

Thats about the money. The employers is the expensive bit. Mines a bit higher but the training stuff ups that.
