I've been with these for quite a few years, one of the few that don't seem to have heart failure at the mention of welding.

The problem with comparison sites is that welding is not one of the listed trades,

Nfu this time, coulnt say enough good about them. Came round inspected premises made sure the cover was correct and adequate, gave a fair price not dirt cheap not dear either and I feel a lot better about things if the stuff hits the fan one day
My last insurer I shouldn't have liked to claim from and it wasn't cheap. The booklet was like 3" thick of t+c

NFU gave me great prices and easy to deal with. Although we have now changed to a company that specialises in our particular field.

NFU for me. Office bod came round and gave sensible advise. Insurance for home, home workshop and all tools. OK with welding, arc and bottles just made suggestions for storage of flamables. No problem and sensible price.

Well no luck so far. It seems that I'm a bit af a rarity, and I'm going to be a problem to insure.
Because I'm an IT Contractor, working through my own Ltd company, and doing a bit of part-time metal bashing, I don't fit into any standard 'category' and as such cannot be insured with a standard policy. It would probably be ok if I was working as a sole trader, but that's not what I want. The idea is to put all my metal bashing earnings through the Company to help me avoid any IR35 issues.
I have another number to try, so I'll let you know how it goes. My guess is that it's going to cost loads!

Form a second Ltd company? link it to the first? For further you need seek advice from your accountant not your Insurance

That wouldn't help with the IR35 situation. Hoping to get some better news when I spend some more time ringing around.
