[bobby101]

prof' indemnity is to cover you for giving bad advice.e.g. if you do a PIR ( EICR) and what you enter in the cert. is incorrect.

Personally, I doubt the need for PI insurance for EICRs, although it may give you a warm feeling. See this thread:

PI is also a requirement for the scheme providers.

For the sake of a few extra ££s you might as well have it - just tick every box!

PI is also a requirement for the scheme providers.

Which ones? Not for ELECSA (unless you join their PIR/EICR list, perhaps).

NAPIT and NICEIC you must have PI of £250,000

They also do it as a package £175 for everything you need

Hey guys, does anyone have an idea what brokers are quoting nowadays for Professional indemnity insurance?

If your with a scheme provider then call them up, if your not call NAPIT or NICEIC and Im sure they can help you.

If not google it, you will find loads who offer PI on its own - its not cheap though

Not quite true

NAPIT if you wish to do EICRs with them, although this costs nothing so if you are going to do them you should have the insurance anyway.


NICEIC doesn't actually say anything on there domestic installer scheme.
