JasonOfOz Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hi Everyone, It's that time of the year again and we need to renew our insurance policies. Traditionally we have used firms like SISS / Suttons / Camberford Law and all have been great. Of course we have never made a claim on any of our policies. Has anyone made a claim on their insurance and if so, how was that process? It's something I've never thought of before but it made me think that even if a premium costs £1k more than the next one, it may be worth the extra expense, if it means there's a higher chance of completing the claim - particularly if it's a big one. If you have any experiences to share, it would be great to get your thoughts. ps. also feel free to share any broker recommendations not already mentioned Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40192-company-insurance-making-a-claim/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 We nearly had to make a claim when one of our engineers dented four corners of a brand new industrial unit with his ladder whilst fitting cameras. Makes my piss boil thinking about it Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40192-company-insurance-making-a-claim/#findComment-446997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOfOz Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Heavy ladder..or heavy engineer! Out of interest, what did you do?

Rulland Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Surely most of the force off a ladder against a wall is downwards, even with a 'heavyweight' engineer on them. Unless of course the ladder was at a silly angle.

Or manage to fix the damage? 49 minutes ago, MrHappy said: Never buy motor insurance from Aviva Did a small claim with SISS, I did all the running for them Thanks for the tip re Aviva. So has your experience with SISS stopped you from using them again?
