Workshop insurance

Postby Asifitgrewthere » 14 Jun 2016, 22:36

Hello my fellow wood tickling friends.

I recently have had my garage broken into and had £3500 worth of precious tools stolen!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

Can anyone recommend a good insurance company that can insure a garage/workshop with a decent amount of cover please.

Looking forward to what suggestions arise

Cheers

best getting on the phone and ringing round ....


a lot depends on your workshop construction, and it's location.
any security you have installed? what kind of kit you are insuring etc etc.

also is it trade/some sales, or hobby .. and yes !!! you have to be honest if you want paying for any claims !

I use A-plan insurance brokers for all my business & some of my personal insurance needs, I've always found them very helpful particularly on public liabilities & tool cover the parameters of which aren't straight forward enough for a lot of insurance companies.

I use A-plan as well. They were the only ones that would give me a decent amount of cover

Thanks for the help, I'll definitely look into A-plan and see what they say.

As I currently have issues with my insurance and how they have handled things, I'm pressing to get them to insure my garage for the year, and then see what happens! I don't know who the worst crooks are, insurance or the thieving scumbags who stole my kit!!!!
