Public liability,

I pay £250 a year but ive heard of people only paying £150, it depends on cover and area required,

Whatever you do tell them you do not do hot work or else the premium will go skywards, mine used to be over £1k a year!!!

Most insurance companies will have some sort of liability insurance on offer, the brokers may not be the best place or price in this case.

Hot work = working with naked flames or other tools that emit heat that may start a blaze.
