Home Emergency

Protect your home against domestic emergencies with home emergency cover

You may not be aware, but you can now protect yourself against the unexpected cost and hassle of having a domestic emergency with a Protect Your Bubble home emergency insurance policy.

Just imagine one of the following scenarios happening to you:

• you are just about to go out and suddenly you are without electricity or gas;
• it’s a really cold day, the boiler makes a strange noise and suddenly the heating packs up;
• you are lying bed and your hear the very loud and rather frightening buzzing of wasps coming from your ceiling;
• you lose your keys and are unable to get in to your home;
• your drains get blocked, leaving you with a very nasty smell all around your home.

Each and every one of these domestic emergencies is more than a simple inconvenience – it can be a very real problem that you will want to get sorted immediately. And that is where a home emergency policy can be of significant value.

If you experience a domestic emergency, (including an emergency in your home that threatens your health; requires your main services to be restored; or requires swift action in order to avoid damage and make your home safe and secure) then just one phone call to our 24 hour claims helpline may resolve it all.

The Protect Your Bubble domestic emergency policy takes away the need of trying to find a reputable tradesman, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year if a home emergency occurs, as well as the cost. In the event that the unexpected happens, not only will we sort out your domestic emergency problem, but we will pay for the costs too*.

If you do experience a home emergency, the costs could come as a bit of a shock - especially if it happens on a Bank Holiday when tradesman may like to charge a little extra for their expertise!

Staggeringly, every year in the UK, we Brits experience a domestic boiler break down every 20 seconds, totting up some £64 million in call-out and repair charges.**

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be you who is landed with a big bill in the event of an emergency. We offer two types of affordable cover – Silver and Gold - so you can choose the protection that is most suitable for your circumstances.

Is it the same as a home insurance policy?

Your home emergency policy does not offer the same protection as your traditional home insurance policy - it is designed to complement it. Nor does it provide general day-to-day home maintenance cover, though an annual boiler inspection and service are part of the policy, potentially nipping any problems with them, at least, in the bud!

Our home emergency policy is designed to save you time, stress and money should you suddenly experience a domestic emergency that is covered by the policy, by quickly and efficiently resolving the problem – and without a huge bill.
