If you have an unexpected home emergency such as a burst pipe or boiler breakdown, you want to put things right as quickly as possible to protect your property from further damage and make your home safe and comfortable to live in. In winter especially (but all year around), it is very uncomfortable to have no heating or hot water as a result of a burst pipe or broken down boiler, and it is very stressful and time consuming to try and sort it out directly.

It’s not always straightforward to find a reputable contractor at short notice and even if you do it can be expensive. Our Home Emergency policy provides you with a low cost solution ensuring help is always available when you need it most.

GetCover.co.uk also includes home security as part of the home emergency cover, for example an attempted break in where you need replacement locks, doors or windows.

The home emergency covers all the following home emergencies:

• the complete breakdown of your heating system
• plumbing and drainage problems
• damage which affects your security including locks and windows
• if your only toilet is broken
• loss of your power supply
• lost keys
• vermin infestation

What’s covered?

The policy will pay up to £500 per claim in total for the following:

• Contractor’s call-out fee
• Labour costs
• Parts and repairs materials
• Alternative accommodation cost
