We have a genuine passion for the freelance industry and this is a real area of focus for us. Our online solution offers an easy, affordable way to cover yourself for the majority of risks facing professional freelancers.Large Complex Risks Services
At Kingsbridge, we offer risk financing, insurance and risk management services tailored to larger organisations in need of more complex solutions.
Legionella Control Contractors Services
At Kingsbridge, we found that legionella control contractors and consultants were having difficulty obtaining appropriate insurance protection – and at the right price. This lack of affordability and availability resulted in many companies buying inappropriate cover, particularly for public liability insurance, where cover often excluded the main areas of risk and business activity.
Subcontractors Services
If you use professional subcontractors (contractors who provide a service including the provision of their own tools, materials and labour, but who do not work under your direct supervision), they are normally legally responsible for their own acts of negligence that cause injury or damage to other people or property. However, there can be instances where you, as the principal contractor, may also be held responsible for your subcontractors’ actions, or where you may be included in an action brought against them.
Valuation Service
We have formed a relationship with Rushton International under which Kingsbridge clients are offered preferential valuation rates. Rushton International works worldwide and specialises in valuing plant and machinery, equipment and buildings for clients so that they can ensure they are adequately insured.
Water Treatment Consultants Service
The Approved Code of Practice for the control of Legionella bacteria in water systems is issued by the Health and Safety Executive. Known as ACOP L8, this gives practical advice on the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Act 1999. ACOP L8 requires that regular water system risk assessments and necessary remedial works are carried out to achieve ACOP L8 compliance.
Water and Wastewater Treatment Contractors Service
At Kingsbridge, we found that water treatment contractors and consultants were having difficulty obtaining appropriate insurance protection – and at the right price. This lack of affordability and availability resulted in many water treatment companies buying inappropriate cover, particularly for public liability insurance, where cover often excluded the main areas of risk and business activity. That’s why we developed an insurance scheme specifically for companies involved in supplying water and waste water treatment and water hygiene services.
