How our home emergency cover can protect you
When you take out home insurance with us, you can choose to add home emergency cover to your policy. This provides up to £1,500 (including VAT) for each claim to cover the cost of labour, parts and materials for emergency repairs at your home. You’ll have access to a 24-hour helpline and there’s no excess to pay and no impact on your claims history. Your cover offers protection for:
- immediate repairs carried out by one of our approved contractors
- incidents leaving your home without its main source of heating or hot water
- incidents leaving your home without electricity, gas or water supply
- incidents that create health, safety or security risks at your home
- incidents that make it impossible to gain access to your home
- incidents that affect your outbuildings, such as your garage.
If you’ve added home emergency cover to your policy and suffer a home emergency like a burst water pipe or blocked drain, ring the 24-hour helpline and an approved contractor will be sent to help as soon as possible.
