How it works
Examples of Window Cleaners Insurance in action
Cherry Picker Theft Harms Window Cleaning Firm
A window cleaning company relies on their hired cherry picker to carry out many of their contracts. One night, it is stolen from their lot, leaving them liable for the cost of the machine, the remainder of the hire contract, and also leading to loss of earnings due to being unable to carry out work. Their plant and equipment insurance covers the costs of the lost equipment and the hire charges owed to the plant hire company, minimising their losses from this unforeseen disaster.
