Insurance

[woody paul]

My insurance is do in January, last couple of days broker is asking a lot of questions about working at heights, and where abouts. 

Never had this before are any of you getting the same.

I renewed with Trust so they still have my CS38 cert, no further questions. Looking at HSE news roofers keep falling off roofs, but there was a tree bloke recently who fell trying to get down from a stuck mewp so falls from height are a hot topic.

Sorry, just seen this -how did you get on? 

I'm currently struggling to get a reasonable renewal quote, for EL and PL insurance, here. 

Was with NFU for a couple of claim-free decades, until they decided to try and double my premium !

So then moved to Arborisk for 10+ (claim free) years, until they/Aviva wanted a 50% increase..whilst turnover etc declining..

So moved the policy to Howdens brokers last year (£1k), but now have that familiar sinking feeling -waiting for renewal quote with 'new' insurer...

Tried trade specialist Consilio Brokers, who implied any EL and PL policy would really be starting at £1.5k 

There's a consistent 50% increase theme running here... 

I'm clearly in the wrong line of business -need to diversify into money printing/insurance!

Meantime, can anyone else suggest brokers worth trying, pretty please ?

🤗

Stayed with them in the end, told them straight been doing trees for 30 plus years no claims, and would take business elsewhere. Came back with quote only a little bit more then last year. I have £10m cover, 

Broker is Performance Direct, can't remember who I found them years ago, just they did advertise on here.
