What's home emergency cover?

We include up to £200 of Home emergency assistance cover as standard. This will go up to £1,000 if you add our optional Upgraded home emergency cover to your home insurance policy.

This cover can help you avoid searching for someone to fix the problem. It also covers the cost of a tradesperson. For example, an electrician call-out fee, plus labour and material costs.

What's considered a home emergency?

A home emergency is an event that makes your home unsafe or causes damage to your home or contents. It may also result in your home losing its main source of heating, lighting or water. For example, burst pipes or a power failure.
