What's Not Covered Examples

For some additional clarity, this policy is a Home Emergency policy. So it's main purpose is to rectify issues that have occurred unexpectedly and which could be detrimental to the property if left. So there are some issues that would not be covered as they are considered to be general maintenance issues and not of an urgent nature.

Some examples of this would be

General maintenance including, but not limited, to dripping taps
Frozen pipes which have not caused any damage
Leaks from household appliances, such as sink, shower or bath where leakage only occurs when the appliance is in use
Inoperable toilet, if you have more than one toilet in the home
Pipes outside the boundary of your home
A blocked sink
Faulty electrical socket in one room
Boiler Service - This can be arranged by finding a local expert at gas safe register

Why is this Policy so Competitively Priced?

When you search online for a Home Emergency Policy, you will find that ours is one of the the most competitive on the market and yet we don't compromise on the cover. How we keep the price low is because we have an initial 14 day excess period when you first buy the policy. This prevents people buying the product because they already have a potential claim and means that as a result our claims experience is generally good, which means we can keep our prices low.

We also don't do any costly advertising. We rely very much on word of mouth and recommendation. This allows us to keep our prices low, which benefits all of us.
What is considered an emergency?

A sudden and unforeseen situation which, if not dealt with quickly, would in our opinion make the insured property unsafe/insecure and/or cause damage or further damage to the insured property.
When Does my Cover Start?

The policy has an initial 14 day exclusion. This is simply to prevent people taking out a policy where something has already happened and they want to claim.

However, if you are switching to us from another provider (with no gap in cover) and the policies are similar, then your cover will start immediately

Please note that when your policy comes around for renewal next year, then the 14 day exclusion does not apply.
Am I covered if my house is burgled?

Under the policy we would make your home safe and secure again until a permanent solution could be found by you or your property and/or contents insurance.
What will happen if my home becomes uninhabitable?

In the event that your home becomes uninhabitable for more than 48 hours as a result of an emergency covered by this section relating to your drainage, the insurer will pay up to £250 (including VAT) for the cost of suitable alternative accommodation.
Isn’t all this covered under my home and contents insurance?

Probably not. Home and contents insurance often does not cover actual emergencies. Our policy provides cover to compliment your existing home insurance policy, aiding in emergency situations. For instance with a burst pipe. Your home insurance will cover damage caused by the burst pipe, but it won't cover the actual repair to the pipe.
When does my policy begin and how long am I covered for?

You are covered from the date shown on your policy schedule. The policy will run for a minimum of 12 calendar months. Please note that the first time you take out the policy, you are not covered for the first 14 days, unless you are switching from another provider.
Which Type of Boilers are Covered?

The policy covers boilers that are heated by Gas, Oil or Electric.

The boiler cannot be more than 15 years old and it must be serviced annually.
Is there an age limit for boilers?

We cover boilers up to 15 years old. Boilers must have been and continue to be serviced at least once a year in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Is an annual service included with my cover?

No, the policy does not include an annual service. We recommend that building a relationship with a local Heating Engineer is beneficial for you with regard to servicing of your Heating system. You must have your boiler serviced annually, in accordance with your manufacturers guidelines as a condition of this policy.
Is my toilet covered?

If the only toilet in the house is inoperable then yes, this is covered under the policy.
Is my roof covered?

This policy does not cover roofing issues.
What type of Pests are covered?

Emergency repairs following an infestation as a result of the following pest in and/or attached to the home and there is clear evidence of the
infestation.
a) Wasp nests.
b) Hornet nests.
c) House mice.
d) Field mice.
e) Rats.
f) Cockroaches.
Is there an excess to pay when claiming?

There is no excess to pay when you wish to make a claim.
How many claims can I make in a year?

The maximum that will be paid out on claims is £1000 per year
Are Blocked Sinks Covered?

If there is just one blocked sink, then this would not be classed as an emergency and not covered. If, however something is causing all sinks to be blocked, such as a blocked drain then this would be a claim.

How Do We Keep the Price so low?

The most effective way we keep our prices down is with low cost advertising. We predominantly rely on 'word of mouth' and utilising Facebook Groups and Twitter. We are constantly promoting ourselves and we hope over time you will promote us too!

Our product has all the features and benefits as shown above. However, we keep the price down by having a clause that states if this is the first time you have bought Home Emergency, then you cannot make a claim in the first 14 days. This is not aimed at avoiding paying claims, but is there to prevent people taking out a policy because something has already gone wrong with their property! The result is that it makes our policy, we believe the most competitive on the market, which means that you benefit year in year out.

This clause only applies in the first year, it does not apply at renewal, or if you are switching to us from another provider. In the interests of transparency we feel it is important to point this out to you clearly.
