Allied do good deal on PL, EL and Treatment Risk, costs are dependant on number of employees, wage bill and turnover.  Just brought mine down this year by over £400

Treatment yes, can’t remember if LC will need to look a policy, tools/equipment no.

On line quotes are ok but I prefer to phone them.

Hope this helps

This just shows the extra hiden costs of employing staff, mine is being renewed tomorrow and the best I have managed to get it for was £1403.00 !!!!

That's PL for £5M, EL for 10 employees and Treatment risk, it also didn't help that we are now a ltd company.

Hi all

I just rang up HSBC to add treatment risk to my 1m public liability and was told I was covered for damage as well. She read out what the policy covers and it covered pretty much anything that could go wrong whilst cleaning so for £62.07 that sounds like a fair deal to me.

I thought it was strange that the site did not say anything about treatment risk, seems it is included in the public liability cost!
