Annual Boiler Insurance

[MDS PLUMBING]

I have had many requests to provide annual boiler insurance. I have even seen it suggested in the June issue of RGE. Are there any restrictions / how do I go about writing a 'contract' etc.

Many thanks

Dave

That would be brilliant mate. Do you know if there are any legals involved or just do it? Can you send info by email or do you need to post? Cheers

ahh even easier mate go on his website click central heating cover and it has prices and whats covered and not covered. i think you can just do it! aslong as you have terms and conditions. he used to use standing order so people could pay monthly but u need to renkew it every 12 months so he now has direct debit facility but this is real hard to get for small businesses and i think u need a minimum number

I don't know if Erebus been little mix u p on communication here Ia looking to provide the service of boiler breakdown cover but who is the company that can provide the insurance? For example insuring someone at 14.75 pm , say the pcb goes at £250 - is there an insurance company that will cover this or is it the contractor that's expected to pay

The company I work for do exactly this, the simple fact is that you need thousands of customers on your maintenance contract scheme to make it profitable, this is the reason small start-ups struggle to do this kind of thing unless they have a large amount of capital to enable running at a loss until the customer base builds up.

Let's say you take on 5 or 6 new customers a week and end up with 200 or so. You have a really bad winter and 50 of those contracts require parts and labour - your cream crackered
