Insurer Questions

What is the split between plumbing, heating, gas and related work?
What percentage of work is domestic, small commercial or large commercial?
Do you carry out installation, servicing, maintenance, repairs or emergency call-outs?
Do you undertake hot works, height work, plant room work or design responsibility?
What contract values, tools, plant, stock, materials and subcontractors are involved?

Domestic to Commercial Work

A broad plumbing and heating policy should distinguish everyday home and landlord work from larger commercial contracts, plant rooms, facilities contracts and higher-value projects.

Water, Heat and Contract Conditions

Escape of water, hot works, gas work, shutdown planning, site rules and contract conditions can change the insurer presentation, so these details should be declared accurately.
