Best insurence company

Andy, they ask in the event of a claim, they like to have a loophole so they don't have to payout, they wouldn't tell you before hand now would they?

 

I don’t think it’s about a loophole, they ask for and verify LOLER and competencies.

IMO Loler is only valid on the day it was carried out,, ie like your car mot

end of the day a pro tree guy will check there kit evry day ! If i find an ify bit of kit out with the grinder & bin it. As some folk think a fall can break a climbing rope yet to see or be proven wrong ropes dont fail under a mans wieght, evan mine / some folk out there might just remember the old 3,strand ? I, remember somthing called hemp rope ! Mice used to eat that? Thats in the old days ?

No it is not utter rubbish!!

 

You can pass all my gear and withing an hour I could have silky cut two strands of my climbing rope, ran over my climbing bag with the truck what is your loler ticket worth then.

 

A car can have an mot done and drive out hit a curb and bubble the tyre, the pads could be on their last 10 thou, but on the test bed the brakes were fine, they may only have two days of braking left in them.

 

I'll say again, the loler and mot are only valid on the day of issue.

 

I maintain my vehicles beyond the standard expected of an MOT, I replace my gear beyond the standard expected of lolar

 

I value my life quite highly bob and I check my own gear every day, not once a year, I replace my rope and harness every twelve months, ask pete.

 

I would rather I checked my gear then someone else, thank you.

I applaude you for wanting to be insured but dont you think its a bit cheaky asking lads on here for advice when for most of them its there only income that you will possibly be taking when getting your jobs.

 

absolute nonsense

[Mick Stockbridge]

im with trust, 500 quid if you have your basic tickets and lolar.

 

You must have declared an extremely low turnover to get it so cheap?

[arnoldbuchsassinger]

Trust insurance are fairly comprehensive, they cover my liability and employer/employee, plus engineering policy and truck and chipper, all kit on a stolen/replacement. Means you need a running inventory. If you are only by the sounds of it P/T just get landscape which covers the basics. Not the big stuff. Which really you need to have liability etc. Normal liability is around the £500 mark, but they want to c certs etc.
