The situation on the ground in Stonehaven
The broker's questionnaire this year asks for named operators, machine categories, certificate dates and refresher cadence. Anything gappy pushes the premium up or reduces cover — usually both.
How we deliver it
We tidy up the working at height column of the matrix in one visit: expiring tickets refreshed, missing operators added, and a clean single-page competence report we hand you as a PDF for the broker pack.

FAQs — insurance renewal preparation, Stonehaven
- Will this help our premium?
- It rarely reduces the premium in isolation — but it stops premium loading for gappy records, which is the more common outcome in Stonehaven.
- What format does the broker want?
- They want operator name, machine, cert date, expiry, refresher cadence and evidence of assessment. We deliver exactly that.
- Can you cover multiple machines in one visit?
- Yes — cross-machine cohorts are standard. Half a day per machine, one trainer, one paperwork pack.
- When should we book relative to renewal?
- Four to six weeks before renewal is ideal — enough time for us to schedule and for the broker to receive the pack before quoting.
- Do you cover working at height refreshers only, or novices too?
- Both, in the same cohort. That's the most cost-effective way when you've got a mixed fleet.
