damp and rot, and also some policies
The policy will cover the fix/repair but any
damage caused by the problem will be
covered by your general household insurance
- for example, if you had a flood and your
flooring was ruined, you would have to claim
for a new carpet on your house insurance not
on your home emergency cover.

know is that for home
emergency cover to be valid,
your home should be in good,
maintained order.

compromise the integrity of
your home, can impinge on
safety and security, and/or
pose a risk to your health.

5000 a year as necessary on
home emergency cover and it
will not affect your no-claims

insurance.
If you don't have emergency
home cover, you first have to
find a tradesman/technician
and that tradesman has to be
available right away.
Peace of Mind With home
emergency cover you know
problems will be dealt with as
soon as possible, enabling
home life to get back to normal
quickly.

adverse weather conditions,
emergencies happen more
often.
