insurance mandate

[d noulton]

looked at a job this week client says insurance mandate whats that
i said got £2000 to spend tiles addy uth tiler etc local tg says guy is geniune
question is how do i get paid

 

[hillhead]

I would have thought direct from the customer then the insurance pay them.
That's my take on it but did you ask?

 

[White Room]

That would be to discuss with the client

I believe the insurance mandate is set up between the insurance company and your client. The client has to pay you directly, thats my understanding.

as the insurance company can take upto 3 months to pay thats the norm so deal with customer

Insurance companys sometimes agree amounts to be paid to cover costs without sending out a loss adjuster, so as long as your costs are below this you won't have a problem.

this might cloud the issue a bit but the client didnt know who was paying who he was given a list of places to use one being tg who reccomended me as tiler
so who pays who sorry cant get my head round this
done insurance jobs in the past no problem :mad2::mad2:

best to get it sorted first or you may get caught ask customer for insurers details

i do insurance mandate work for tops tiles (not done any for a while now) the customer takes the mandate to tops or other approved store, store send you to measure up and to check, £**** may seem allot but tops charge the customer up to £** sqm to lay i have had them the actual price being twice the mandate price so the customer has got to challenge the price on the mandate most of the time they get the full amount. once the job is complete tops pay u within 30 days usually 14 ,you don't get £** approx 1/2 that depending what it is
