Hello lads. I’m just wondering if I need Public liability insurance if I’m subbing to companies or working for agencies? I’m getting some stupid quotes. Don’t really know what I need to include.

thanks
 
10 million cover against 5 million was only another £30 with Hiscoxs . I have used them for years .can be bothered to see if i can get a better deal .They have been around and if anything went wrong .I want them to be dealing with it .Not some rubbish company that will run away in the middle of the night etc
 
Mine was £333 through the nic for 5m PL plus 300k PI and 5k tools.

Interesting how the indemnity element used to be 100k as standard which I always felt in my guts was too low given some of the atrocious workmanship you have to tackle on a daily basis, but I had to fight them to increase it, but now that all the slum-lords have been forced to get inspected they've jumped it to 300k!

Everthings jumped in price recently in my experience, but as the saying goes its cheap compared to the cost of not having it..
 
Mine really jumped this year. For £5m/€6.5m public liability and £250k (or Euro equivalent) professional indemnity and with legal expenses cover was around £1,200 this year. This includes the RECI Extension which includes the territorial extension for the south of Ireland plus specific indemnities to RECI, the ESB and the CRU and all of RECI's other requirements (e.g. no height limits on policy). But most insurers won't even quote for this.
 
Depends how you awnser questions, single phase, 3phase, fire alarms, giving out advice, many years you been a spark, crazy when they talk you through it in 3 mins...

300 for 6.5 million plus 100,000 indemnity. North and south ireland.
