That time of year again...PLI...how much is yours costing you ?

[cam_low]

I have just done a compare the meerkat and am looking at somewhere in the region of £150 to cover me for 60% tiling, 20% kitchen fitting & 20% bathroom fitting.

What is yours costing you for your relevant trades.

Are there any better deals to be had elsewhere ? Who has been your best insurer when needing to make a claim ?

cheers

Never had to make a claim cam so cant comment on that but when I last had public liability (about 4 yrs ago) it was only half that price but that was for tiling only.

Mine is about £70 a year tiling only. .

why do you not have it any more if you don't mind me asking ? bit of a devil are you haha (look at post count)

£53 a year for mine from direct line, it's been that price for 7 years in a row. Tiling only, 1 million cover. Never had to claim so, don't know how good that part is, they do bleat on about how they are not on comparison sites and that they are amazing! Maybe one day I'll find out.

What's the saying......''You only know how good your insurance is,is when you have to make a claim''

 

[On one]

About £100....70% tiling,20% plastering, 10% other.
Never had to make a claim

I've always thought that, it might be because I have my van insurance, home insurance etc with them. It would perhaps be more if that's the only policy I had with them. I do have quite a high excess (voluntarily), of £250, I put it up from £50.

 

[Rookery]

Mines about £60 and has been around that for a few years. Tiling only - £1 million cover.

 

[cam_low]

£53 through DL if I want it for tiling only !

 

[Ian]

I've just put in for a quote to include trimming doors and plinths, as well as tiling, it's gone up to £4325, looks like I won't be doing that then

 

[Mr Tiler]

if thats how much it shoots up for just plinths and doors... i cant imagine what gus must be paying lol

 

[peteablard]

Mine was about £120 which also covered me for using a heat gun/welder for vinyl floors

Has anybody ever had to claim on their PL? or was it not worth the bother ,ie any damage/claim you rectified yourself without using your insurance.....

 

[cam_low]

Well I got my PLI today for £53 through DL. I will be adding to this in due course but it seems to me they are beating any other quote by a fair chunk as they are not on the comparison sites.

 

[White Room]

You go on the comparison sites and within a short time the phone don't stop ringing:incazzato:

 

[cam_low]

I found that out a long while ago...I always tick the box to get none. How irritating they are ! I only want a bloody quote !
