Home Emergency cover is designed to protect you following a sudden or unexpected event which, if not dealt with quickly, would render your home unsafe or insecure, cause further damage to your home, or cause personal risk.
In an emergency, finding someone to call that you can trust and who will respond quickly without charging you the earth is often very challenging. The intention of our Home Emergency policy is to provide a qualified engineer, vetted by us, to come to your assistance quickly in the event of a claim.
As well as covering nine unexpected emergencies as standard plus optional boiler cover, you can choose an excess of £0 or £50 for the event of a claim and you can make up to 3 claims per year up to a total value of £1,000 per year.
