Home Emergency and Boiler Cover

Help in the event of many home emergencies

Be prepared for emergencies that can make your home unsafe or unfit to live in. If you do suffer an unexpected crisis, such as a breakdown in your heating system, just call us on the 24-hour emergency helpline.

  • We'll pay up to £500 (including VAT) for call out, labour, parts and materials to cover an emergency service following an insured event.

  • £250 alternative accommodation cover for you, your family and your pets if your property can't be lived in following an insured event.

  • And there's no limit on call-outs.

What's covered in your home?

  • Heating and hot water system – the total failure or breakdown of your boiler, resulting in no heating or hot water.

  • Internal plumbing – water leaks from internal pipes, radiators and toilets.

  • Drainage – blockages to drains and waste pipes inside the property, which cause wastewater leaks, and rainwater drains outside.

  • Security – making your home secure following damage to external doors, locks and windows.

  • Internal gas supply – a leak from an internal gas supply pipe between the gas meter and a gas appliance, following a reported leak.

  • Pest infestation – removal of wasp or hornet nests in your home.

  • Roofing – emergency temporary repairs to your roof following damage caused by a storm or bad weather, which allows water to enter your property.

Good to know

1 Cover only applies to the property named on the policy. Cover excludes incidents resulting from the policyholder's employment or the employment of others by the policyholder.

2 We'll pay the costs we've agreed in advance for alternative accommodation if your home can't be lived in due to an insured event. The accommodation will be of a similar size and standard to your home. For any one claim, you're covered for up to £75,000 with Platinum buildings insurance, or up to £25,000 with Platinum contents insurance. The Silver and Gold levels provide lower amounts for accommodation.
