What happens to Contractors Tools & Equipment premium after a Cleaning Companies claim?

A paid claim within three years means a higher expected loss for the upcoming year, which directly increases the premium needed to support the risk.

Specific impacts: claim within 12 months = 40-60% load on next renewal; claim 12-24 months ago = 25-40% load; claim 24-36 months ago = 10-25% load; claim more than 36 months ago = no direct experience-mod impact, though the carrier may still note it.
