New Home Emergency Cover
Home Emergencies happen to us all - usually at the worst possible times - in the middle of a dark wet night, over Christmas or a bank holiday weekend, or just when your finances are a bit stretched.

Home Emergency Cover is a cost-effective insurance product that will help protect you in the event of a domestic emergency, such as the breakdown of the main heating system in your home.  Home emergencies can be stressful and sometimes difficult to resolve, but with Home Emergency Cover you will have peace of mind knowing that we are with you every step of the way, by not only appointing a suitably qualified contractor to attend your home but also meeting the costs associated with this.

If you have a home emergency, we'll resolve it for you. We'll take away the worry and hassle by providing reliable trades people and we'll cover the costs (within policy limits) by paying their bills, including parts, labour and call out charges. We'll take care of it all quickly and painlessly - without complicated forms and claims procedures.
