PUBLIC LIABILITY INS QUOTES

Re: PUBLIC LIABILITY INS QUOTES

I thought you may be interested, in having a look at http://www.trademancover.co.uk They give you a choice of insurer, I have just taken mine out with MMA Master Tradesman Plus. 2 million cover with £100 excess for £65.87. (No gas) The excess does vary dependent upon length of time in the trade. The choices are MMA, Fortis, Groupama and Axa.

The Axa one was interesting because it specifically rules out — Aerials, fair enough, central heating, that’s OK too. Plumbing!! 😯 how on earth do you go to work on a washing machine and guarantee you will never have to touch the pipework. Or if like me you get the occasional call to install a new one which could of course involve fitting shut off valves and a standpipe.

A couple of weeks ago I had a call to a Candy which had just been installed by the owner, after moving house. I found that the cold hose connection under the sink had been twisted so badly it was practically a knot.
As I started to undo the connection the pipe came away from beneath the monoblock mixer taps, which of course are usually braized on.

Because the customer had only just moved in she had no idea where the stopcock was.

So I had to sit there under the sink like a poor little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke for 45 minutes. Getting soaked to the skin and watching the water spreading across the kitchen floor, heading for the brand new Wilton in the sitting room. While the rest of the family ran around like headless chickens looking for the stopcock.

Fortunately I had shown the customer what the problem was before trying to disconnect the hose………… If I hadn’t I am sure I would have been blamed for being heavy handed………… Would AXA have been there to offer support. I doubt it!!!

And to top it all immediately after this job I had a doctors appointment to get my blood pressure checked…………..

Thanks for this,

My policy has just come round again for renewal with MMA. Same policy, same excess with the above company £65.87 instead of £101.21 through my broker (the inclusion of £20 administration fee didn’t help).
